2019 Chevrolet Silverado Gets 2.7-Liter Turbo Four-Cylinder Engine | Speed Sensor Chevrolet

Not trying to refute anything said here, after all, I’ve had my own bad experience with ABS on glare ice (which is really harder to see than ‘black ice.’) I do know that in the case of systems like Electronic Stability Control (or whatever a given brand calls it), you do have the ability to turn it off under certain conditions… usually at speeds below 35mph, though. As such, is there anything in your owners’ manual that suggests the system can be turned off temporarily?

The investigation into the issue started back in January of this year, when Harley became aware of an incident in Korea where a crash occurred but no injuries were reported. Brembo and Harley started a joint-investigation the following month, and the NHTSA’s recall team did the same in April. 

(3) Honda CRF450. Honda updated its Nissin front brake caliper with one 27mm caliper piston and one 30mm piston. This vastly improved modulation and lessened the grabbiness (and is what Yamaha, Kawasaki and Suzuki need to do in order to bring the feel and control of their front brakes closer to Brembo usability). Over the years, KTM has altered the piston size in the master cylinder, brake pad material and caliper setup every other year—always trying to stay on top. Honda is the only Big Four brake trying to keep up.

But the special experience is the 2.7-liter turbo. We drove the truck before we knew what was under the hood, and my guess was about a 3.0-liter turbo V6, or “one hell of a four-banger.” We didn’t put a clock on 0-60 or freeway passing acceleration, but the engine was brisk, edgy, and ready to rock and roll at all times. The turbo four was also mated to the same 8-speed automatic and made good use of the gears. By comparison, the 4.3-liter V6 (which goes back to the late 1980s) with the 6-speed felt blunted and stodgy.

(2) Husqvarna FC450. The Husky tips the scales at 224 pounds (1 pound heavier than the KTM 450SXF). This can be attributed to the heavier plastic airbox, ice cream cone-shaped restrictor in the muffler and thicker brake rotors. It is 17 pounds lighter than the heaviest bike in the shootout (Suzuki RM-Z450).

Totally agree with you. Unacceptable by GM. They need to take care of the issue. IDC if it saves them a billion dollars. It looks bad when lives are on the line.

As i said below in other posts, passive systems like abs are good. They don’t take control from the driver, just control the input or hold the driver in place (belts, airbags). But these systems designed to suddenly take control or start adding their own inputs are contradictory to having attentive drivers in control of their vehicles. Train people how to drive, and hold them to it. Don’t add these systems to make up for distracted and poor driving. Driving isn’t a difficult task. Most people can handle it if they’re prepared and focused.

JCB’s clean diesel programme has achieved 43% lower carbon emissions from its machines over the past seven years. It has mainly achieved this by improving fuel efficiency, with a resulting reduction in diesel consumption of 2.5 billion litres over that period. In February, Toyota announced that the new powertrains to be used in its two-litre engine vehicles would reduce carbon emissions by 18%. It plans to use the same powertrains in 80% of its models within five years.

14. Upright and comfortable, the Scrambler can be ridden all day. With a seat height just above 34 inches, the Scrambler 1200 XE isn’t the shortest bike on the road. However, the narrow chassis allowed my 32-inseam to plant the balls of my feet on the ground nicely. Standing or sitting, the reach to the grips is spot-on for me. Should you wish to adjust it, you’ll have the ability to do so as well. The bench seat is comfortable, and the foot controls didn’t cause excessive knee-bend.

It’s worth mentioning that this anonymous owner is a huge fan of his ZR2, which he bought specifically to daily drive and to take off-road. He raved endlessly about it on the phone with me, saying: “I love my truck… everything about it is awesome except for the stupid airbag deployment thing.”

With fresh Edelbrock gaskets, the new polished 2×4 intake dropped right into place with a set of polished stainless ARP intake bolts. This was followed by dropping in a standard MSD ready-to-run distributor and plug wires.
