Project Corn Star: Tuning An LS For Boost With HP Tuners | Fuel Injection/Nozzle

I bought snow tires and wheels for our ’17 Sienna with TPMS sensors. Sorry, Toyota only “knows” one set of sensors at a time, therefore you must get it reprogrammed every time at the dealer, which negates any time or cost savings with dedicated snow tires and wheels.

Beepy-flashy things in the instrument array only add confusion and uncertainty to suddenly perilous situations.

Like Kostura’s truck, the vehicle ran just fine after the deployment, except something related to the seatbelt tensioners had apparently activated, preventing the belts from releasing all the way from their retracted positions. And, because he didn’t want to drive nearly 100 miles on the highway back to his place without a functioning seatbelt, the Colorado owner had his truck towed to a dealership to the tune of over $300.

4. Having a smooth initial throttle application is crucial off-road, and the various riding modes don’t disappoint, especially with a torque-rich engine such as this one. Rolling the throttle on won’t be met with disaster, as riders will quickly come to terms with the 1200—they’ll be reveling in it with roosts of approval.

Company acquires SRV’s internal rental division and confirms long term rental agreement with the contractor.

Finn did tell me that he’s subsequently taken the truck on a successful 10,000 mile off-road adventure this summer, and had no issues. But then, he told me he pulled the fuse, a move that he finds annoying. And so does the anonymous gentleman mentioned earlier, who told me: “I didn’t pay $50,000 to pull a fuse out of a truck.”

Featuring Chevy’s active noise cancellation, Traverse is a quiet cabin filled with short- and long-trip conveniences. A humidity sensor that detects moisture and diverts air to the windshield to help prevent fogging, and a great list of safety technologies, including a surround-view camera, lane keeping and lane departure warning, front pedestrian braking, and forward collision alert with low- and high-speed braking, are part of the Premier packaging.

When it comes to autonomous vehicles, the minimum performance standard should be that they do at least as well as competent, conscientious human drivers who make occasional mistakes. What I fear we will get is flawed systems that make it safer for drunks to text.

" Had complete brake failure. Was able to get the truck stopped. Saw it was 2 pints low on fluid. Added fluid, drove towards my auto shop, had to stop to fill the brake fluid again (the light went on this time). Did this a few times. Just before I got to the stop, the truck blew out some smoke, chugged, and the motor seized up. Towed the truck to the shop, they found out the master cylinder leaked and the vacuum lines sucked the brake fluid out of the master cylinder and dumped it into the cylinders in the motor and this blew my motor. I hear there is a recall for this on 2014 F-150S but not on the 2011. Terrible design. A brake problem should not blow up my motor." – Aug 11, 2018

Diesel engine, any internal-combustion engine in which air is compressed to a sufficiently high temperature to ignite diesel fuel injected into the cylinder, where combustion and expansion actuate a piston. It converts the chemical energy stored in the fuel into mechanical energy, which can be used to power freight trucks, large tractors, locomotives, and marine vessels. A limited number of automobiles also are diesel-powered, as are some electric-power generator sets.,

For initial EFI operation, FiTech recommends running the engine with its existing ignition system for ignition timing. Then, once the fuel side tuning has been finalized, then if the owner prefers, ignition control can be converted to the FiTech. This is a good plan because it minimizes the number of potential errors that could occur. That’s the next step for Buck’s ’56 but we just couldn’t wait so that will come later. No drama is anticipated.

The system may seem like yet another method of of taking control away from the driver but, it may actually be a savior for the manual transmission as it could take away the mundane tasks of clutching in and out while in stop and go traffic while making it somewhat future-proof by bringing it into the network of modules that can be centrally controlled by one of the cars computers.
