Dodge Dart Clutch Lawsuit Should be Dismissed, Says Chrysler | Generator Diesel Consumption With Deutz Engine

UltraSonic park assist uses an array of four ultrasonic sensors mounted on the rear bumper – two on each side of the rear license plate cutout. The system provides “distance-to-object” and object location alerts to help the driver park and avoid hitting nearby objects or walls during low-speed backing.

Emissions control technology in the latest engines includes diesel particulate filters, exhaust gas recirculation, diesel oxidation catalysts and selective catalytic reduction. MAN Engines has opted for a modular exhaust after-treatment system, while developments in electronic engine management and high pressure fuel systems have also had an impact.

Agreed. A lot of these driver assist features operate counter to the skills I’ve developed over the years driving cars that didn’t have even ABS or traction control. Driver assist features are not helpful for me. In fact, they make driving more difficult.

As i said below in other posts, passive systems like abs are good. They don’t take control from the driver, just control the input or hold the driver in place (belts, airbags). But these systems designed to suddenly take control or start adding their own inputs are contradictory to having attentive drivers in control of their vehicles. Train people how to drive, and hold them to it. Don’t add these systems to make up for distracted and poor driving. Driving isn’t a difficult task. Most people can handle it if they’re prepared and focused.

In 2008, my 1991 Jeep Cherokee’s vents got a clean, and the valve cover gasket got replaced. I found multiple valve cover gasket replacement receipts in this stack; it’s a common problem on 4.0-liter engines.

actually, all this automation will lead to skill degradation and while it will definitely save lives it will create tons of small accidents. This is actually happening. There are situations on the road when only human can do something.

This nine-litre cubic capacity four-cylinder engine generates 300kW and has been designed for heavy-duty construction equipment and agricultural machinery.

The lower trims offer the 4.3-liter V6 or the 5.3-liter engine with Chevrolet’s old active fuel management (AFM) cylinder deactivation system, which simply turns off one of the V8’s cylinder banks. That works, but the dynamic fuel management is better. The 2.7-liter engine has the least towing capacity of all of the options at 7,200 pounds, compared to 8,000 pounds with the V6. The 5.3-liter with the old AFM can tow 11,000 pounds or 11,600 pounds with DFM, The mighty 6.2-liter tows up to 12,200 pounds.

A lot of people have raced a slow bike to a better finish than they achieved on a fast bike. It’s not how much power you make but how you make the power that really matters; however, horsepower is what makes the wheels go around. It’s not the end-all, be-all, but it helps the end result.

I think we can distinguish between those devices that can help us do what we cannot do for ourselves, like cross traffic backup sensors, and devices that assume that we are not doing what we should be doing, like lane departure sensors.

But when it comes to braking, both types of cars perform essentially the same… though at least until lately when it came to ‘black ice’ or otherwise ‘invisible’ ice, the ABS would think the car was at a dead stop… while you keep sliding into trouble. That ‘threshold and release’ technique still saved me one time as I was on an iced-over bridge headed for an intersection where the light had just turned red, nearly 500 feet in front of me. Now, I knew I was on a bridge and I was pretty sure I was on ice (we’d just had a snowstorm the night before) so I was almost literally crawling along the highway, maybe doing 20mph on the flat. Unfortunately, I was on a long, sweeping, downhill curve to the light at the bottom. I touched the brakes so lightly I couldn’t even feel any braking effort, but my steering said I was sliding. Release and the car would track the steering, touch the brakes and the car would slide. I did this I don’t know how many times as I made my way around that curve and finally came to a full stop… right in the middle of the intersection. Had I just locked down on the brakes, the ABS would have done nothing but let me slide off the road, helplessly.
