Rare Rides: An Absolutely Beautiful Peugeot 504 From 1975 | Fuel Injection/Nozzle

“Customers will be able to choose whatever is the optimum combination of conventional and electric drive components for their particular application. By significantly improving emissions and efficiency, Deutz is aiming to be the market leader for innovative drive systems in the off-highway sector,” said the company.

Drive quality is all-important this year, as Ram really raised the bar with the 2019 Ram 1500 and Ford’s been killing it with the 3.5-liter turbo V6. From what we experienced on the various driving surfaces of Milford, the Silverado will have the chops to compete. Driven back-to-back with current models, the 2019 has lighter steering and the whole truck feels lighter and more eager and responsive, while at the same time providing a much-improved smooth and steady ride.

The ZR2 owner told me he drove over the first bump at about 5 mph, then over the second, before realizing the undulations were a bit bigger than he’d thought, so he applied the brakes. “It was a very curvy, not aggressive, rugged jostling of the truck. And the airbags deployed at the end of the second bump,” he told me.

1. Gearing. Last year, we switched the stock 48-tooth rear sprocket for a 49. For 2019, Yamaha adopted the “add one tooth on the rear” solution.2. Cheap R&D. Honda, Kawasaki, KTM and Husqvarna built new bikes; Yamaha changed the wheel spacers and fork lugs and made the biggest improvement they’ve made in years to the steering response. Thanks to the axle lugs, it doesn’t wiggle at turn-in.3. SSS. Yamaha has the best coil spring forks in the biz. Heck, they have the best forks, coil spring or air, in the biz.4. Reliability. Nothing is as reliable as a Yamaha YZ450F. It will last forever.5. Wi-Fi mapping. You can remap your 2019 YZ450F with your iPhone. We run the Travis Preston map. You can see the Travis Preston maps below.

I don’t see a receipt for a clutch or for a slave cylinder (which is in the transmission bell housing). The previous owner did tell me the slave has been swapped, though, so that’s comforting, even if I’d rather see it on paper.

Range is another major drawback for electric cars, and the easiest way to increase it is to cram more storage capacity into a vehicle. Take the Nissan Leaf, for example: it launched in December 2010 as a 2011 model with a 24-kilowatt-hour battery pack, then got an upgrade to 30 kWh for the 2016 model year. For the second-generation 2018 Nissan Leaf, capacity was bumper 40 kWh.

Regarding safety devices there are many that I believe should be (and in some cases are mandatory): ABS, stability control/traction control, seatbelts, air bags, active head restraints, emergency braking, blind spot warning, Bluetooth. Some that I am not sure of such as lane departure. And some that I believe are largely unnecessary such as back up cameras. Yet there seem to be more defenders of back-up cameras than of the other more significant devices?

With the tank in place and new supply and return lines routed forward, the FiTech crew then began the disassembly process, removing the single four-barrel intake manifold and all the remaining gasket material from the heads and surrounding walls.

Other times the transfer case could also slip while a person was driving into neutral causing an accident.

While most countries are moving towards stricter standards on vehicle carbon emissions, the US could backtrack on its promises. President Donald Trump has announced that pollution limits due to be phased in between 2022 and 2025 and signed into law by his predecessor, Barack Obama, are to be watered down.

It’s the type of loyalty a sports-car maker would kill for, and an odd sentiment for a vehicle that’s ostensibly made for work, and therefore as a purchase should be subjected to a flinty sort of cost-benefit analysis.
