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.
Driving is not an unrestricted ‘right’. That is why there are existing driver licensing, vehicle licensing and insurance requirements, as well as applicable laws regarding vehicle operation.
Another story comes from a gentleman named Mike Saad, who commented on the GM-Trucks.com story about Joe’s incident. Saad’s post shows a dark Colorado with its side airbags deployed after apparently driving on a fire road. He writes:
Drive quality is all-important this year, as Ram really raised the bar with the 2019 Ram 1500 and Fordâs been killing it with the 3.5-liter turbo V6. From what we experienced on the various driving surfaces of Milford, the Silverado will have the chops to compete. Driven back-to-back with current models, the 2019 has lighter steering and the whole truck feels lighter and more eager and responsive, while at the same time providing a much-improved smooth and steady ride.
According to Automotive Fleet, GM/ Chevy informed the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that there was Base radio default in their pickup trucks. The base radio gives off warnings if the key is left in the ignition or if seat belts aren’t clipped on properly. It also warns you if the doors are left open. Without the base radio working correctly it would cause the trucks not to be in compliance with motor vehicle safety standards. The alert can prevent needless injuries, and theft of the vehicle in case a driver or a passenger forgets. Pickup trucks affected are the 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500 and the 2005 Silverado HD. There were no deaths or injuries reported due to this defect but Chevy took it seriously and fixed it of no charge to the customers.
The next part also sheds light on the gap between supply and consumption. Apart from the mentioned information, growth rate of Diesel Engines for Non-Automotive Applications market in 2023 is also explained. Additionally, type wise and application wise consumption tables and figures of Diesel Engines for Non-Automotive Applications market are also given.
I would rather have âsomeâ tech than ânoneâ. One problem as someone said before is that this crap is rolled out half baked, and we get to find the flaws. The first ABS equipped Grand Cherokees come to mind. I remember how on a steep descent the ABS wouldnât allow the rig to come to a complete stop. Thatâs straight up dangerous.
He feels that the off-road mode should increase the threshold for airbag deployment, or that GM should employ a setup similar to Toyota’s RSCA switch, which allows for the disabling the side airbag’s roll sensing function during off-road driving:
Diesel engines are mainly consumed in Europe and China countries. The two areas occupy about 86% market share. Besides, North America is also an important market of diesel engine.
1. Clutch. Although the KX450 now has a hydraulic clutch, it doesn’t mean it will stand the test of time. The KX450 clutch is weak. It feels light to the touch, but it burns up if you use it. Plus, it makes a horrendous squealing sound. We got rid of the judder spring, installed stiffer clutch springs, polished the ends of the push rod and switched to an ARC PowerLever (which has six different hydraulic ratios to insure that the clutch is diengaged before the lever hits your fingers on the handlebar).2. Fork springs. Too soft but great if this were an enduro bike.3. Airbox. It’s weird, small and tight, and it takes two different wrenches to get the cover off.4. Seat bolt. When you remove the seat bolts, the threaded plates fall out of the rear fender.5. Rear brake. The 250mm rear rotor is overkill. It locks up in every corner. We cut threads off the master cyllinder push rod and ground the rear brake pads down.6. Shock preload ring. We hate KTM’s nylon preload ring. Guess what? Now we hate Kawasaki’s and Suzuki’s nylon preload rings also.7. Levers. For some unknown reason, the clutch and brake levers are completely different, as though they came off different bikes. When the clutch was pulled in, the lever hit riders’ fingers. We moved the clutch perch over to avoid this, but it was only a modest help. Eventually we switched to ARC levers on both sides.8. Handlebars. The KX450 is the last production 450 with 7/8-inch bars.9. Grips. The hard rubber grips tear up your hands.10. Radiator cap. The engine runs hot and boils over. We run a Twin Air 1.8 radiator cap to keep it cool (this is a mod that all four of the Japanese-built bikes could benefit from).11. Chain roller. The bottom chain roller wears out (well, in truth it disintegrates). We use a 2018-19 KX250F chain roller to fix the issue.
