8 CHANGES TO MAKE YOUR 2007-2010 YAMAHA YZ250 GREAT | Speed Sensor Chevrolet

The MultiPro tailgate is easily the most trick of the bunch, a clever re-think of a mostly overlooked component. It’s essentially a tailgate-within-the-tailgate, which allows for six different configurations, including a load-stop for longer items, a drop-down step, and a work station. The MultiPro construction felt robust and solid, with heavy-duty hinges and lever arms, which suggests GMC realized the first rule of improving things that are not necessarily broken: if you’re going to add features and complication, it had better last. 

I would love a backup camera. In so many cars of this era it’s very hard to see out the back window, including my ’08 Civic. The general lack of visibility drives me nuts. I’d rather instead of various cameras and warnings, that the feds would mandate visibility. That would make driving more of a pleasure, as well as increasing safety.

But with three unique (if optional) upgrades over a Bowtie-badged truck, there’s an argument to be made that the GMC is a truck targeted to the well-known and well-understood return buyer: someone willing to spend on the finer things. Still, one wonders how long it will take for the trick MultiPro tailgate to trickle down to the volume model Silverado—and, further, how long this kind of badge-engineering can work for GM. Though the GMC engineers would be loathe to consider it (the pride they all take in this truck was obvious) from a buyer’s perspective the GMC Sierra is already a sort of upmarket trim level from the Silverado—making the popular Denali option a trim-within-a-trim. Why not make the Sierra a tech-focused trim option, and Denali a luxury package, and let the big spenders tick both boxes? 

UK rental company GAP Group has increased its spending on equipment by 26% in the first eight months of the current trading year

Short answer, yes, and you’re at the mercy of the dealerships pricing on parts and labor…However, aftermarket options exist…

We’re installing the PerfectFit hydraulic clutch system and a TREMEC Magnum six-speed in a 1967 Camaro, but the process is similar for almost any Chevy. The PerfectFit system lives up to its name, allowing you to infuse modern technology into a classic Camaro. Silver Sport Transmissions provides everything you’re going to need to install both the TREMEC Magnum six-speed and the hydraulic clutch system. So let’s head over to Best of Show Coachworks in Escondido, California, to see what’s involved in installing the SST kit.

So he did. That’s when the apparently stock Chevy Colorado ZR2 bumped its way over the rock, and was home free. At least, that’s what it seemed like until the vehicle traveled farther up the incline. “They’re almost to a stop, and you can hear the pop, and you see the airbag come down, and you hear the girl scream,” Matt said.

‘C. Refuse to acknowledge that through insurance and public funds we all pay a share of the cost of putting these freedom lovers back together after they fly through their windshield.’ Cute. Something only you have suggested as the only motivating reason to question the cost and effectiveness of trying to wring out that last 0.000005% out of passive safety devices.

“As for all those ‘against’ having additional ‘safety features’. Well I have children out their driving and would very much like to see every vehicle on the road equipped with these advanced devices, to protect my children from distracted drivers, bad drivers, ‘boy racers’ and those who overestimate their own driving abilities.”

Its not like GM or Ford hasn’t recalled any vehicles with Takata inflators. Both have recalled vehicles with inflators that are definitely dangerous. There are hundreds of different inflator designs that were used. Some are more deadly than others. Thats why Ford specifically told owners of 2006 Rangers to not even drive their pickup to the dealer. Instead the dealer would pick the vehicle up and transport it to their service center for replacement of the inflator.

The rear axle issue has affected 2014-2015 Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks. GM/ Chevy did recall the vehicles that had issues. The problem occurred when the rear axle cross pins were not attached correctly and could cause the rear axle to stop and freeze causing a possible crash. The rear axles job is to turn the driveshaft that gives rotational force making the car move. According to Auto Blog, the company expanded the recall and added more pickup trucks, and cars to the list. Chevy told vehicle owners to bring their cars into the dealer so that could replace the pin at Chevy’s expense.

In old-school driving, PJ, pumping didn’t mean, “stab the brake as rapidly as possible,” it meant to “threshold brake until you feel the traction let go, release the brakes and do it again–as often as necessary to come to a safe stop.” Granted, some people could never learn that lesson but some could and did. You also learned more about steering and throttle to try and maintain control, even in a slide, since most cars were RWD at the time.
