19. The Scrambler 1200 line combines style with function. The scrambler craze has hit the motorcycle market hard for the first time since the late 1960s. Often, these machines are adorned with rugged accessories that serve as little more than fashion statements. The 2019 Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE has a number plate, the Monza fuel cap, tank strap, and other additions give it that undeniably Bonneville styling, and reinforce the scrambler theme. An aluminum sump guard is certainly functional, as well as stylish.

He feels that the off-road mode should increase the threshold for airbag deployment, or that GM should employ a setup similar to Toyota’s RSCA switch, which allows for the disabling the side airbag’s roll sensing function during off-road driving:

The MXA test riders didn’t mind riding the 2019 Suzuki RM-Z450, but not a single test rider would choose to race it. It is the heaviest, slowest and twitchiest bike on the track. It makes the least horsepower, has a marginal clutch and the worst rear shock—even its kickstarter design has flaws (it is way to high). The best thing about the 2019 RM-Z450 is the way the power is delivered. It is spot-on in the middle. It makes the meager output much more effective and usable than the numbers would predict. As a budget racer, it features the lowest out-the-door price of all the 2019 450s. Conversely, it has the lowest resale value.

There are distinct rewards for making the 4L60E investment. Most importantly, the controllers make it very easy to establish exact shift points for each up-shift. It will also allow adjustment of shift firmness all within the control of either a simple hand-held device, or in some cases, sophisticated software that can be tuned via a laptop. An example would be the ability to set the exact WOT shift points with a couple of keystrokes, instead of struggling for six to eight hours with a recalcitrant governor.

To obtain class-action certification of a lawsuit, the judge says a plaintiff bears the burden of proving the class of owners and lessees meets a four requirements, but in this case the plaintiff failed to do that.

Pretty minor issue. If I remember correctly, Ford had a lot of problems in the first few years they started using EPAS in their vehicles.

With the introduction of a hybrid interface, the unit can switch between mechanically and electric power. Users can thus achieve a higher average engine load and reduce fuel consumption by running only the necessary engines or generator sets dependent upon the operation mode, the company said. Reduced maintenance costs can also be achieved by running fewer hours on the main engines.

The water pump leaking is just another problem that the Chevy Silverado 1500 has had. The water pump is a very important part for your car and helps pumps coolant through your engine and back to the radiator to be cooled off. Signs of a leak can be fluid under your car dripping while on or off, overheating and your car smoking from under the hood. If the water pump fails it can also lead to melting nearby plastic components causing a fire or causing your engine to completely fail. According to Cars, Chevy will fix this issue for Silverado owners.

"The brake fluid was completely drained on my 2014 F-150 super crew 3.5 ecoboost truck. While this meets a recall for the vehicle year and engine type, my VIN was not included. The vehicle only has 46000 miles and the brakes were completely shot. Very scary situation and could have ended horribly. Luckily I got it to a Ford dealer. Issue is a leak in the master cylinder and brake booster. I was in motion and the brakes stopped working. I pushed the brakes to the floor and slowly rolled to a stop and would have continued without a parking curb stopping my progress. Thankfully I was not on a highway but in a parking lot when this happened." – July 6, 2018 46k miles

For example, I bet the majority of TTAC members donate money to causes they support. However, I bet 95% of them would be up in arms if the government mandated they donate money to specific causes. The Mandating piece is what they are getting up in arms over, NOT the causes.

Three Next Generation 20-ton size class excavators from Caterpillar— the 320 GC, 320 and 323 — are due to be rolled out across Africa and the Middle East in the second quarter of 2018 and claim to boost efficiency by up to 45 per cent
