SoftBank investing $2.2 billion in GM Cruise autonomous cars | Generator Diesel Consumption With Deutz Engine

The engine also features an electric water pump to reduce drag on the power system. Overall, the 2019 Silverado with the 2.7-liter represents a 380-pound weight savings over the 2018 model with the V6, and 100 pounds of that is the weight difference between the engines.

Following its launch, Water-Go-Round will undergo a three-month study period in San Francisco Bay, during which time Sandia National Laboratories will gather and assess performance data. CARB will use this data to assess the suitability of the technology for wider marine use.

5) Finally I understand and sympathize with your dearly held belief that the availability of ‘cheap’ vehicles is a necessity for the working poor, etc. And agree to a degree. However removing all controls is akin to agreeing to the landlords/slumlords who opposed Building Code, Fire Code, etc controls over their boarding houses, flop houses etc. These landlords claimed that these ‘people’ needed a place to live/sleep and that imposing standards would increase the costs. However, is it better to allow the landlords to profit, while people lived in dangerous conditions? Isn’t a societal change and government initiatives such as co-op housing, government backed mortgages, etc a better solution? The post WWII suburban building ‘boom’ in the USA and Canada was largely the result of government action such as the G.I Bill and government backed mortgages. My family and nearly every family in our new subdivision had a 25 year mortgage at a fixed rate of just over 2%, backed by our government. In Canada the vast majority of immigrants dwell in the major urban centres. Each of these centres have relatively safe public transit systems. They also have car sharing organizations, Uber and licensed taxis. Using these in many cases is much less expensive than purchasing, maintaining, insuring, fueling and paying for the parking of a vehicle. I have the figures as that is what my eldest child has done since moving ‘into the city’ despite my offer to transfer to her for ‘free’ one of our vehicles. So the provision of and public funding of a safe, efficient and reliable public transit system in many (if not most) cases replaces the ‘need’ to own a vehicle. And large SUV’s and pick-ups are generally too expensive, too large and totally impractical for these urban dwellers and their families. Therefore when they own/buy they are generally relegated to ‘small/compact’ cars,Corollas, Civic, Elantras, Accents, and Versas being extremely popular. To paraphrase an old car commercial “should safe cars only be available to the rich?”. I believe that all passenger vehicles should be manufactured to relevant safety standards and thankfully to a large degree this is true. None of the vehicles mentioned if maintained would be considered a ‘deathtrap’.

Although the plaintiff claims the extended warranty didn’t fix the problems, FCA argues Victorino was not affected by an incomplete X62 extended warranty repair because his vehicle never had or even needed the repair, and therefore, he has not suffered the same injury as other Dart owners who claim they have suffered.

1. Exhaust. What is an ice-cream-cone-style restrictor doing in the muffler? It makes it more manageable than the KTM but restricts the power everywhere.2. Airbox. We love the air filter system but think the airbox is choked down. We drill holes.3. Graphics. What graphics?4. Clutch. We don’t trust the Magura slave unit seal and replace it with a Brembo on day one.5. Frame. The more rigid frame is not good for mere mortals. We have to go softer on the suspension settings than we did last year to get the same comfort level.6. Airbox cover. It comes off without tools, but it’s length means you really have to tug it hard (and sometimes the insert receiver pops out—we carry spares).

The next stop for the ’56 was Westech Performance where chassis dyno tuner Ishmael Candia first checked for WOT opening and then started the tuning.

That’s when Finn says the right side dropped and leaned the truck roughly 20 degrees, and then things went south.

My Highlander has a “descent control” feature to allow the ABS to hold a vehicle on a slippery slope but it can only be activated under 20 mph. I have used it in winter conditions and it works well on (as an example) the county road that my school is located on that slopes down and empties out onto a state highway.

This truck came with amazing features that everyone would need in a pickup but it was later recalled since it experienced some problems in it. One of the issues the truck had included ignition-switch problem. According to Edmunds, the switch would get stuck in the start position and move into the accessory position.

There is also the loss of control. One of the reasons people drive when buses, trains, or car pools are available, is because they want the privacy and independence of their own car. Then along comes the government and mandates a bunch of features which they don’t need and which actively conspire to make them less safe as drivers. Whose care are they driving, anyway?

For the enthusiasts, the drive is part of the fun of the journey. For the average person not into cars (75%?), the drive is the drudgery of the journey. Might as well check the interwebs, the car will beep if something is wrong.

well we’ll, I just bought a Colorado zr2 from Conelle chevy. I only have 2000 miles on my brand new truck and my roof airbag curtans have deployed on me. I was just on a fire trail. O need for 4 wheel drive I was In 2 wheel. My roof Air Bags went off. So I believe this isn’t as rare as GM wants people to think. My car is at the dealer right now I believe there will try to give me some bullsh*** that my roll bar and light bar is the reason and try to reject fixing it but we shall see. Because my bags went off in the day time so all my light switches were off. There’s no way a open circuit can effect the airbag module. That would be like saying jumping your battery would make them deploy. Come on this isn’t just coincidence guys. They have a serious problem GM needs to own it and take care of it before a class action lawsuit is set in motion.
