Bosch: Clutch-by-wire prevents stalling, boosts mpg AN-LOGO-BLUE AN-LOGO-BLUE | Clutch Master Cylinder

In the filing, GM says the front-passenger inflators were custom-made for its trucks by Takata with bigger vents and stronger steel end caps than other inflators. No truck inflators have blown apart on roads or in extensive laboratory testing, the company says. —-

GMC reps kept insisting that they are the company known for upscale, luxury trucks. I was unaware of that reputation, so I asked around, and sure enough, most people agreed: Yes, GMC is known for making luxury trucks. When I pointed out that the interior was not particularly luxurious even with the Denali niceties, they amended the answer to something along the lines of, Yes, well, GMC makes trucks that are more upscale compared to Chevrolet. 

The Problem: Electric power steering assist may be lost momentarily, followed by a sudden return of EPS assist, potentially increasing the difficulty of steering the vehicle, especially at low speeds, as well as increasing the risk of a crash.

These safety systems make the road safer for some drivers, not all. I still have excellent vision and excellent situational awareness (along with many other drivers). I should not be be forced via regulation to use the same assist or “safety” features that someone with less driving skill or situational awareness has.

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

I’ll add this to my poor vehicle design category. There are a decent amount of vehicles that you can adjust the mirror to eliminate blind spots. Unfortunately i don’t think this is so much the case with most new cars anymore. Small mirrors, high beltlines, and slivers for windows are creating stupid-large blind spots. It would be great to make vehicles with outward visibility as opposed to some systems to correct for the lack of it.

Yeah and I thought about obtaining an aftermarket one, however I’m not keeping it long enough to justify the cost/trouble of installing one. My wife has her first vehicle with a backup camera (purchased Dec 2016) and now hates driving any vehicle without one.

The trailering package, with an included app, has all sorts of functionality. You can add a custom profile for each trailer; perform a lighting test as you inspect the vehicle from outside as part of the included Pre-Departure Checklist; hardwire a camera to the back—as well as see down the sides of the trailer, and use the aforementioned birds-eye view—and check the trailer tire pressure. (Considering the many available camera angles, it raised the question as to why the front view disappeared when a rear camera was added; the answer was short and sheepish: because the truck was made with only four available camera inputs, instead of five.) You’ll also receive an alert on your smartphone if someone’s tampering with the vehicle or trailer. 

Shifting over to the 4L60E side, the main advantage of this transmission is that electronics eliminate the need for a TV cable and that whirling dervish of weights and springs to establish shift control. In the case of a retro-fitted 4L60E, a swapper will need the service of a separate transmission controller. Here is where both the main advantage and disadvantage of the electronic transmission reside. Separate controllers obviously add significantly to the overall transmission cost.

General Motors in 1990 fixed a 7.4-liter V-8 into the 1500 chassis Chevrolet pickup to build this truck. The performance of this truck was exceptional. The engine made a healthy 230-horsepower and 385-lb-ft of torque. Despite these amazing qualities, only a few examples of these trucks were built. The truck also came with some problems which manifested themselves throughout the lifetime of the vehicle including unreliable oil gauges, and issues with sliding rear windows which could either rattle or leak.
