Is Harley-Davidson About to Be Hit by a Major Recall? — The Motley Fool | Speed Sensor Chevrolet

The larger 6.2-liter V-8 comes with 10-speeds for a larger sweet spot of max torque, and both the extra punch and the extra twist made it slightly smoother to drive than the SLT trim’s 5.2-liter V-8 with eight gears. 

Every time you take your car in to a dealership for a repair or even a minor service, you get a receipt. Over 20 years, those receipts can pile up into a thick wad that you may be tempted to throw away. Don’t. Keep those receipts forever, especially if you plan to sell that vehicle at some point. My 1991 Jeep Cherokee’s incredibly detailed receipts are a great example why.

Without the “safety features” I would have carried across the sunny patch with no problems, instead I completely lost control of the vehicle and only avoided a crash because the road was empty. Needless to say, all the “safety” BS got turned off right away.

The SCR system is fully serviceable, meaning the catalysts can be removed without the need for new or special tools and easily replaced when needed, Cummins said. Catalyst life is expected to match the engine life to overhaul in an effort to minimize downtime. In addition to the serviceability of the SCR system, the Vanadia-based catalyst is capable of tolerating up to 5000 ppm sulfur fuel, which allows customers to continue to use the same quality fuel they have always used with Cummins products.

My point is that if someone wants driver assist features, then they can pay for it on their own vehicle. Passively forcing it on others through regulation is wrong.

We recently removed my mother’s driving license. She has driven over 65 years without an at fault accident. As the Doctor explained to her “every driver is a good driver until the second that they are not”. These mandatory safety devices help to delay or prevent that split second.

-Clutch hydraulics will not fail without warning. If you find it harder to shift into gear, and if the clutch pedal feels mushy, it is time to take a closer look at the system. Don’t wait. Do the repair soon.

The plaintiffs claim Chrysler’s two-piece design destabilizes the cylinder at its base, “which can result in unintended lateral movement and cause the piston inside the cylinder to become jammed.”

FORD:2005-current Escape Hybrid/Mercury MarinerFront: Hub unit with an integrated wheel speed sensorRear: Hub unit with an integrated wheel speed sensorTips: When servicing the wheel speed sensors on a 2001-’05 Escape or 2005 Mariner and Escape Hybrid, care must be taken during removal to prevent damage to the wiring harness of the wheel speed sensors. The wheel speed sensor wire has a body plug attached to it. This plug can be damaged if it’s not removed correctly. If the body plug is damaged, sensor replacement may be necessary, even though the sensor is functional in all other respects. When removing the body plug, rotate the plug into a position which allows the use of a small screwdriver to release the tabs on the underside of the body plug. These two tabs are at right angles (directly above and below) to the sensor wire.

The system is activated when the Colorado is put into reverse gear and is traveling below 5 mph (8km/h). While backing up under these conditions, the driver is alerted to a potential impact via the vehicle’s driver information center (DIC, pictured below), which shows the location (left, right or center) for rear-detected objects close to the vehicle. The system also delivers a series of audible beeps depending on the distance of the vehicle and a detected object.

In the early 00’s I had a 1989 Cherokee with the Bendix 9 ABS system. That thing was a pile of garbage. Bendix decided to forego the typical vacuum brake booster and instead had the ABS module apply the brake assist. Imagine how an ABS system would age if it had to operate every time you applied the brakes instead of just every time a real ABS event was required. That’s exactly how this thing aged. Every 8-or-so key cycles I’d start it up and the ABS indicator would light, and I wouldn’t have brake assist. Lovely. I’d have to shut it down and start it again hoping the ABS would act properly that time.

Rollovers can happen for many reasons: the vehicle’s weight balance, sharp turns, and elevated center of gravity.
