Make It Better: 4L60E Swap For 1967–1972 Chevrolet C10s | Speed Sensor Chevrolet

Despite the goodies the Syclone came with some issues which included the frequent failure of the fuel pump that would cause the engine to stall and not start.

The good news is that either way, you win. Elsewhere in this story we’ve listed the ratios of both the TH350 and the 700R4/4L60E. While the 3.06:1 First-gear ratio would appear to be an advantage over the TH350’s 2.52:1, the downside with the deeper First is the major rpm drop in the 1-2 and 2-3 gear changes that the 700R4/4L60 force upon you. At part throttle, this is only a minor issue since converter slippage absorbs most of the difference.

With fresh Edelbrock gaskets, the new polished 2×4 intake dropped right into place with a set of polished stainless ARP intake bolts. This was followed by dropping in a standard MSD ready-to-run distributor and plug wires.

It’s time to be brutally honest about that. It’s a lie we tell ourselves. Worse, it’s a dangerous lie. As the roads get more crowded, the threat level goes up. In my opinion, it’s idiotic to argue against things like lane-departure warning because “the idiots will ignore it”. First, that’s a stupid blanket statement. If you’ve ever driven a car with the seat buzzers, you know that this is a crap argument. It’s bloody hard to ignore. Second, as I mentioned before, we all screw up. Yes, some people will ignore the warnings. But most won’t. And, I predict, the warnings will make people more aware of their own failings. If your car tells you that you need to pay attention, most people will heed that warning if only to reduce the annoyance factor. That will yield a net improvement in overall safety.

I’m sorry, but you’re being naive. The automakers agreed to “voluntarily” put this technology in all of their vehicles by, I think, 2025 (2023?) as part of a back room deal with the government to keep the feds off their backs in other areas – like fuel economy. And the public had no input at all. Toyota believes in what’s good for Toyota. Every other automaker operates the same way.

Brian Thomson shows how to build a de-stroked LS7 for road racing situations where it’s common to stay in the high rpm range for long periods of time.

Danish provider of control systems for generators, DEIF Group, has released software updates incorporating several new features for its PPU 330 paralleling and protection unit and AGC-4 and AGC200 genset controllers.

If grandpa wants those safety systems for his vehicle, then he can buy them for HIS vehicle. Passively forcing others to do the same through regulation is wrong.

My Ford actually has those little blind spot mirrors embedded in the mirrors, which are great. But they seemed to be designed to only work when the mirrors are pointed at the fenders, i.e., the wrong way that everyone learns to use.

The Chevy airbag defect affected close to five million vehicles including the 2014-2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 and the Silverado HD.

“Cummins engineers have done significant testing of this system to ensure the same dependability, quality and reliability customers have come to expect from our brand,” explained Jim Schacht, executive director, Cummins Global Marine Business. “With more than 10 years of experience applying SCR to Cummins engines in our on-highway and industrial segments, vessel operators can rest assured they have a great product powering their ship.”
