The Airaid Universal Air Intake Kit enables you to easily fabricate an intake for your LS swap | Fuel Injection/Nozzle

The same deactivation technology is present on the optional 6.2-liter V8. Take note that the dynamic fuel management system is present because you’ll never notice it in operation. You’ll forget it exists five minutes after you get in the Silverado.

Same goes for lane assist and blind spot monitoring. Most of these systems require you to look away from the road to see the alert, so what good is that? Blind spot monitoring especially, since it usually requires you to look at the mirror. So if you’re already looking at the mirror to see the little light, why not just use the damn mirror in the first place?

The Colorado has drawn some ire from present owners and shoppers alike for the lack of various features that are available in competing trucks, parking sensors being one such feature. Their addition comes as a signal that GM is making an effort to listen to its customer base and tend to the various dissatisfiers.

1. Dominant company/manufacturers profiles including global Small Diesel Engine (Non-Road) market share, product description, and business data. 

The automotive adaptive cruise control system is segmented based on vehicle type: passenger vehicle, light commercial vehicle, and medium & heavy-duty commercial vehicle. Passenger vehicle is expected to remain the most dominant vehicle type during the forecast period.

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. 

Last week, Deutz invited us to Cologne, Germany, to look at its new prototype electric drives, dubbed the E-Deutz portfolio, and hybrid and fully electric demonstration machines including two Manitou and two Liebherr telehandlers.

Many of us thought that in 2004/05 at the auction including seasoned wholesalers. I wasn’t there for Volt/Leaf but I wouldn’t be surprised if there were skeptics then too. Being careful with one’s floorplan is not necessarily a bad thing.

(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).

Chrysler argues there are no defects in the clutch systems and the seal swelling condition could affect only 16 percent of the Dodge Darts named in the lawsuit. The reason is allegedly because each car has clutch component parts that are manufactured differently.

Well, I don’t know about a half million miles… But I can tell you that the Prius battery will last you a dozen years or so if you’re somewhere in the range of 150 to 200k miles. That’s with a sample size of 1 of course.

I also found a bunch of service records that indicate a ghost current draw that was draining the battery. It appears that the source of this issue was discovered in 2007: the glove box door wasn’t closing properly. I’ll have to keep this in mind if I notice my battery draining mysteriously:
