Today’s front-drive cars to me are actually more difficult to handle in snow and ice, even though they have the ability to pull themselves out of trouble (cart behind the horse, vs the pusher drive of the older cars with the horse behind the cart. Think about it.) I got used to feeling the tail try to swing and bringing it back in line; front drive cars you have to do almost the exact opposite and add a touch of throttle to try and pull the car into line.
The worldwide market for Vehicle Diesel Engine is expected to grow at a CAGR of roughly -2.0% over the next five years, will reach 44000 million US$ in 2023, from 49600 million US$ in 2017, according to a new GIR (Global Info Research) study.
@ Vanillasludge: Tell that to the families of the 200 or more people who were killed by the early air bags which snapped their necks.
FiTech offered to perform the swap at their shop in Riverside, California. This also required an aftermarket fuel tank to accommodate the necessary in-tank fuel pump assembly. This almost required as much effort as the intake manifold swap since this IRS-equipped Tri-Five was anything but stock out back, but the conversion went smoothly and very soon the ’56 hit the streets for some simple tuning. That’s when disaster struck. For reasons still not entirely clear, the 502 suffered a rod bearing failure that required a complete rebuild. Chevy 502s come with aluminum production rod and main bearings that sometimes are a bit unforgiving. If the crank hits a main bearing for whatever reason, the debris peeled from the mains usually end up in the rod bearings that then quickly fail. The project was delayed for several months while the engine went through a complete rebuild. Once the crank was massaged and the engine builder reassembled the 502 with most of its original parts, the swap could continue. The engine was initially run on a test stand with a single four-barrel carburetor to check for leaks and proper behavior before the 2×4 FiTech system was again installed.
Rather than develop its own electric drives from scratch, Deutz bought another German firm Torqueedo, which manufacturers electric drive motors for watercraft—everything from tiny fishing kayaks to trolling motors, rescue watercraft and large ferries. Completed just a year ago, the acquisition gave Deutz industrial scale, ready-made technology solutions for battery management, electric motors, controllers and the software that ties it all together says Michael Wellenzohn, a member of the Deutz board of management.
This is the section where we tell you where the six most popular 450cc four-stroke motocross bikes rank on the MXA test riders scale. You won’t hurt our feelings if you buy the fourth, fifth,sxith or 22nd bike on the list—but read each analysis before plunking down your cash.
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.
I’ve also seen one with the flat plane of the chip perpendicular to the stem, not edge-mounted like the one in the photo.
That raises an interesting question: if the car canât run someone over, what happens when some tweeker, crackhead or gang of scumbags surrounds you with intent of carjacking, robbing or who knows what?The short answer would be run their asses over. If the car wonât let you take evasive action, I guess youâre just getting shot/stabbed/raped/etc.
Where is tnt, gms and papa??? You guys are all over the ford recalls, which have no crashes or injuries, yet you say great job GM???? You are happy people got injured in these lackluster trucks? Wow, government motors and their fans are worse than the rest of us thought…..
Being able to stop is a very important thing to be able to do when driving but some Chevy pickup trucks were having trouble doing that. Pickup trucks with braking problems are the 1999-2001, 2003-2008 Chevy Avalanche, and Silverado. According to Consumer Affairs, more than 200 hundred accidents were reported when the Anti-lock braking system did not work correctly during low-speed impacts. It took longer distances stop which drivers did not expect at the time. Chevy blamed the problem on the salt states again for corrosion that occurred. Chevy blamed environmental conditions such as salt and road dirt for covering the sensor needed for the brakes to get the signal and work right.
I became a GTI Protectionist. I bought a 4WD beater to daily drive since I quickly knew that I bought a unicorn that will only get rarer. My GTI does not see rain or snow.
