Cummins Launches First IMO 3 Engine | Fuel Injection/Nozzle

An odd thing occurred when at cruise. The rpm would occasionally spike very high for literally a microsecond. Candia said he’s seen this before and installed a shielded rpm sensor cable to help prevent its reoccurrence.

I’ve had the various safety systems in Cadillac MB and BMW. I’m not impressed, my butt vibrating isn’t needed to know I’ve changed, or fudged, lanes.

I think in at least some of the cases, detractors don’t like these active safety mechanisms because it forces them to admit that they aren’t as safe as they think they are. Every time the car beeps during a lane change, it’s a reminder that they didn’t use their signal like they should have. Every time the car beeps and applies the brakes when the car in front of them stops quickly, it reminds them that they were following too close.

Bleeding the system took forever, as I hadn’t bench-bled the master cylinder, so there was tons of air in the system. Still, it wasn’t rocket science.

The problem with the EPS would occur during low-speed turning maneuvers that would lead to collision.

There are more than four million hybrid vehicles in the U.S. All of them are equipped with brakes and wheel bearings. When servicing hybrid vehicles, it is critical that the hybrid or regenerative brake systems be disabled. It should also be a common practice to remove the keys from the vehicle and place them in an area that is far enough away from the vehicle, as some hybrid systems will sense if the key is near. As the driver approaches the vehicle, some vehicles will not only unlock the doors, but also activate systems like brakes and the drivetrain.

"Brakes completely failed while trying to stop from 35 mph at a stop sign entered highway 260 in overgaard AZ – crossed the highway applying full pressure on brake pedal and using parking brake – came to a stop and checked the fluid level all brake fluid was gone, added 12 oz of dot 4 fluid and backed the truck up and parked in a another place to check for leaks – checked the level and all fluid was gone again."

Volvo Penta hopes that the EU Stage V regulations can be used by other regulators as the basis for new standards, as the company believes that the patchwork of different standards around the world increases costs.

While cylinder deactivation systems have historically worked on whole banks or clusters of cylinders, the new system works across multiple engine revolutions and cycles the deactivation among all eight cylinders. Combined with a new vibration absorption system in the transmission’s torque converter, the system is completely transparent to the driver and passengers. Chevy says that the new 5.3-liter system in the new chassis reduces curb weight up to 450 pounds, depending on the truck configuration.

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

Some of us may be luddites. Most of us are not. I’ve always been an early adaptor. But this stuff is just plain intrusive. That word seems to apply to a lot of technology these days. We seem to have turned a corner into a very bad neighborhood. And it’s not the government we need to fear – it’s private industry.
