Chevy Announces New Shock Color For 2019 Camaro | Fuel Injection/Nozzle

SlowMyke, it’s the blind leading the blind. I still remember my driving instructor telling me to adjust my mirrors until I can just see the car. Obviously not correct, but no one I knew knew differently at the time.

Matt’s video also helped me get in touch with another ZR2 owner in California, who wanted to remain anonymous out of concern that this story could in some way affect the claim he’s filing with GM. That’s his truck above.

(4) Kawasaki KX450. The KX450 shares the basic Showa forks with Honda and Suzuki, but it is a much plusher fork than the other two. The spring rates on all three are 5.0 N/m, but the KX450 feels suppler because the fork oil height is lower. The KX450 forks are forgiving over small bumps but way too soft in the big stuff. The compression and rebound can help, but they are not a cure-all, as the soft forks make the balance of the bike feel off. Our simplest fix was to run one stock 5.0 N/m spring with one optional 5.2 N/m spring to make a hybrid 5.1 N/m spring that helped the forks ride higher in the stroke and balance out the chassis. There was still a bit of harshness in the middle of the stroke that we couldn’t iron out. 

If you’re considering a new full-size truck, put the 2019 Chevy Silverado at the top of your test-drive list.

I love GM and I buy mostly GM products, but sometimes I question their speed and intelligence. Glad to see they are finally listening to owners in some ways, but it’s been since 2015 with almost no changes! They still haven’t moved the (expletive) 4×4 knob, or created an indicator on the dash or DIC that shows your drive mode in non-zr2 trucks! (Something my 1987 Jeep has) I really hope they make interior updates such as this for the 2020 trucks, it was clear someone who has never used a 4×4 truck designed the dial location from their desk and not in the real world. The amount of time’s I’ve had to feel for the switch into 4×4 in a quick moment and turned my headlights off, drives me insane. Nor does my wife (who rarely drives my truck) have the time to look below the steering wheel (eyes off the road!) and figure out which way to turn the knob) Ok rant off…

I will add a reason I and many other people find to be equally important. I LOVE driving and take pride in having honed my skills over many decades. I find things like lane departure warnings, blind spot warnings, front and side cameras to be FAR more distracting than helpful. I almost never use cruise control, even on long trips, because I find it makes me lazier in perceiving the traffic flow and what I might need to adjust for in the flow ahead of me – so I surely do not want adaptive cruise control.

It’s going to get harder and harder to find vehicles that aren’t expensive, over-featured, junk. At some point the only thing left for purists is going to be the Transit van…

3) Most of the ‘state imposed’ safety requirements have proven to be effective. Crumple zones, 3 point safety belts, head restraints, ABS and stability control have all either served to reduce collisions or traffic fatalities. Thus again reducing societal costs. And history has proven that left on their own, that many (if not most) auto manufacturers would not have made these features standard equipment. Not to mention the ‘cheating’ that some manufacturers have been found to engage in regarding ‘crash tests’. So ending government safety mandates is not a long term cost savings. Again requiring these features is a utilitarian necessity/benefit.

(3) Yamaha YZ450F. Of all of the Big Four clutches, the Yamaha’s is the best. It lasts longer, works better, slips less and can take more abuse than the Honda, Kawasaki or Suzuki clutches. If you are a clutch abuser, consider running stiffer clutch springs (in whatever number suits the feel you are looking for).

This was my question originally submitted to Sajeev and I have learned a lot from the mostly thoughtful comments.
