GM Seeks Patent On Adaptive Instrument Panel | Fuel Injection/Nozzle

The ZR2 owner told me he had installed LED headlights, LED fog-lights, a winch connected directly to battery power, and an electric lock for the tailgate.

"I got in my truck and started driving. As I approached the intersection I started to brake. The brakes went all the way down and the truck did not brake. I ended up past the stop sign in the middle of the intersection. I turned around and went back slowly to my house. I almost hit a pedestrian where the truck did not brake."

It’s also worth noting that the Chevrolet Colorado isn’t the only vehicle that has had such an issue. Nissan truck owners have been complaining about airbags deploying off-road for years (here’s a video showing it happen on an Xterra).

However, all 2019 Colorado models feature a Rear Vision Camera (in either standard of high definition) as standard equipment, regardless of trim level.

Then I slid back into the extremely tiny footwell (again, hiring a toddler may be the way to go on this one.)

I think in at least some of the cases, detractors don’t like these active safety mechanisms because it forces them to admit that they aren’t as safe as they think they are. Every time the car beeps during a lane change, it’s a reminder that they didn’t use their signal like they should have. Every time the car beeps and applies the brakes when the car in front of them stops quickly, it reminds them that they were following too close.

In 2015 General Motors dodged another recall which came four years after a federal investigation into many of the older trucks. Over 5 million Chevrolet and GMC vehicles were affected more so those in salt estate. The rusting occurred on the brake lines. Despite reports says that the rust doesn’t make the vehicles defective, the question is who on earth wants to ride on a vehicle with rust on them? The corrosion makes the driver of feels like the back wheels are smocking. The GMC vehicles that were affected were those built between 1997 and 2003 and some of the vehicles included Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra Pickups.

Guess what Ken Roczen did to his works Honda CRF450 during the AMA Nationals? He had Honda remove the electric starter motor, battery, starter gear sets and wiring harness to save 5 pounds.

The report describes a thorough summary of the global Vehicle Diesel Engine market and scrutinizes the key micro- and macro-economic factors affecting the growth of the market. The report additionally projects the size and valuation of the global Vehicle Diesel Engine market in the upcoming years. The market has been considered in terms of product types and applications.

The transmission options are equally diverse. The V6 and the old 5.3-liter V8 get six-speed transmissions, while the four-cylinder and the new 5.3-liter receive an eight-speed. The 6.2-liter and the upcoming diesel both benefit from the newer 10-speed automatic. Four-wheel drive is an option on all trim levels. Buyers can choose between a light-duty, single-range system and a true dual-range setup with an all-wheel drive mode in high range.

Rather than develop its own electric drives from scratch, Deutz bought another German firm Torqueedo, which manufacturers electric drive motors for watercraft—everything from tiny fishing kayaks to trolling motors, rescue watercraft and large ferries. Completed just a year ago, the acquisition gave Deutz industrial scale, ready-made technology solutions for battery management, electric motors, controllers and the software that ties it all together says Michael Wellenzohn, a member of the Deutz board of management.
