MAN Engines Debuting Two New Marine Engines | Generator Diesel Consumption With Deutz Engine

What we know about the interior is this: It’s bigger than before. Chevy added 1.6 inches to the truck overall, and 3.9 inches to the wheelbase on the crew cab models. The new space was mostly added to the cabs in the back seat (except for the Work Truck trim, which doesn’t have a back seat). The Crew Cab models are much improved in back seat space and comfort, and the extended cab models get more space as well. Chevrolet also announced increased cargo box capacity.

The most amazing thing about the modern truck is how un-truck-like its road manners have become even while overall capability has gone through the roof (as well as size, because this thing is massive) and the GMC is no exception. The ride is stable and quiet and prodigiously powered—a voracious consumer of highway commuting miles, even, I was assured, with a 6,000-pound trailer hitched to the back. (This is especially true of the models equipped with the adaptive suspension.)

Now all I have to do is replace the timing belt and water pump before I can finally get that crappy Honda out of my life. I’ve already started on that job, and so far, it’s been absolute hell. Stay tuned to hear more about that.

The problem that makes AAA hesitant is what should make everyone hesitant. The systems work pretty well MOST of the time, which tends to make people rely too much on them. Then when the aid systems have a glitch, the driver is distracted from paying full attention to the driving environment. By the time they try to retake control to fix the problem the aid system missed or did badly – it may be too late to fix it.

The move however didn’t make the truck more efficient but turned it into a money pit. The truck became an oil burner and also had issues with head bolts. Apart from the earlier mentioned problems, this trucks also came with issues such as high compression ratio, lifted cylinder heads and weak torque.

Different generations of the Chevy Silverado 1500 have had transmission issues along the way. Some of 2007-2013 Silverado transmission problems have included slipping out of gear while driving and going into reverse quickly or jamming sometimes. In some cases, the pickup truck doesn’t work at all.

-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.

(4/tie) Yamaha YZ450F and Honda CRF450. The Yamaha and Honda tied for being the fourth-lightest bikes in this test. Both bikes hit the scales at 238 pounds and were both victims of being pushed into electric starting before they were ready for it. The CRF450 and YZ450F are 3 pounds lighter than the heaviest bike in the shootout (the Suzuki RM-Z450).

1. Transmission. Who wouldn’t want a transmission built by Formula 1 supplier Pankl?2. Cylinder head. The 15mm lower Husky/KTM cylinder head is a giant step forward in lessening cam twist. It also makes the bikes feel lighter in the air as the weight is lower in the chassis.3. Sound. The Husky is the quietest production 450. It was only 111.4 dB on the 2-meter-max sound test and 93.2 dB on amateur sound test.4. Weight. At 224 pounds, it is the second lightest 450 on the track.5. Electric starting. You can’t give credit to Honda, Yamaha and Kawasaki for having electric starting without giving credit to the bike that got there first.6. Radiators. The radiators are mounted 12mm lower on the frame, and the water capacity is up 20 percent.7. Handlebars. Every test rider liked the new ProTaper handlebar bend.8. Maps. Even though the black box is the same on the 450SXF and FC450, the two maps feel different. We were told that the black box was tuned to the FC450’s ice-cream-cone restrictor muffler, which explains why we liked the FC450 maps better than the KTM maps. 

But with an EPA-rated 150 miles of range, the Leaf is now outclassed by the likes of the Chevrolet Bolt EV, Tesla Model 3, and upcoming Hyundai Kona EV. So Nissan is working on a longer-range version with an even larger battery pack. Charging-station manufacturers will have to match the pace of developments like this in order to avoid obsolescence.

You’ll recall the B&B certainty that the Prius would be an unreliable nightmare that wouldn’t make it to 80k miles due to all that new fangled tech.

I’ll add this to my poor vehicle design category. There are a decent amount of vehicles that you can adjust the mirror to eliminate blind spots. Unfortunately i don’t think this is so much the case with most new cars anymore. Small mirrors, high beltlines, and slivers for windows are creating stupid-large blind spots. It would be great to make vehicles with outward visibility as opposed to some systems to correct for the lack of it.
