10 Cars With 4-Cylinder Engines That Can Beat A V8 (And 10 That Can’t Beat A Moped) | Generator Diesel Consumption With Deutz Engine

Brokk, the world’s leading manufacturer of remote-controlled demolition machines, has introduced the Brokk 170

If there is a truck that will remind you of the classic box style back in the ‘90s then it would be the Syclone. The truck came with low ride height that made it unique as compared to the other pickups. This truck had a great performance; sprinting to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds something that was made possible by its turbocharged 4.3-liter V-6 engine.

I kept hearing the same thing, over and over, when talking about the full-size pickup truck market: Loyalty is king and there is no such thing as a conquest in the truck space—if you owned a Ford you’re going to buy another Ford; a Ram owner will buy another Ram; a GMC owner doesn’t want to drive the same Chevy Silverado as his employees, so he’s going GMC—again.

The leading heavy equipment manufacturer Komatsu America Corp. has introduced two new models HD325-8 and HD405-8 off-highway trucks, which feature an increased horsepower and Komatsu traction control system (KTCS), aiming to improve productivity in a cost-effective way

While the machine’s we saw were still in the prototype phase, Deutz plans to start manufacturing modular hybrid drives in 2019 and selling hybrids and all-electric products by 2020, says Dr. Frank Hiller, Deutz’s CEO. By 2022-2023 Hiller says the company anticipates hybrids and electric drive units will account for 5-to 10-percent of the company’s revenue. Since the company projects sales above 200,000 engines by 2022, that could mean anywhere from 10,000 to 20,000 electrified machines in the market running on E-Deutz systems in the next few years.

And backup cameras are now mandatory: considering the price/availability of smartphone cameras, it’s no surprise a dashboard’s multi function screen accommodates one. And if one camera is cheap-ish, incorporating 3 more won’t kill the pocketbook… right?

If you are running a late-model engine like an LS with production EFI, there is no factory provision for a TV cable because these engines were equipped with the later electronic 4L60E version transmission. It is possible to adapt a TV cable to an LS2 for example, and it has been done successfully. But, it is yet another reason why the 700R4 is more of a challenge to tune properly.

I’ve also seen one with the flat plane of the chip perpendicular to the stem, not edge-mounted like the one in the photo.

I became a GTI Protectionist. I bought a 4WD beater to daily drive since I quickly knew that I bought a unicorn that will only get rarer. My GTI does not see rain or snow.

You can’t even turn off the Stability control in my base Jetta. That oversight is a bit much…it snows.

The next step was to adjust the master cylinder’s pushrod. If it’s not adjusted properly, the clutch might not disengage when I push the pedal down, and it might still apply pressure to the clutch hydraulics when my foot is completely off. So it’s really important that the pushrod is adjusted properly.

This brake light switch was originally used as a cruise control interrupter. Using the connectors at the end of the switch, 12 volts is sent to lock up the 700R4 torque converter when the plunger is pushed in (brake pedal not applied – left). The ohmmeter shows continuity. Depressing the brake pedal interrupts the 12-volt power and unlocks the converter (center). The ohmmeter shows continuity is lost (OL – open loop). If a constant 12-volt is sent to the transmission, the converter will remain locked even as the car slows down, unlocking only when the transmission shifts out of overdrive. This simple schematic (right) reveals how the brake light switch works. The far left connectors are normally closed completing the circuit, until the brake pedal is depressed, which interrupts the circuit and unlocks the converter. Illustration by Eric Rosendahl
