GM files patent application for a ‘clutch-by-wire’ system | Generator Diesel Consumption With Deutz Engine

I’ve only driven one car with lane keeping function (2017 CR-V) and it only intervened when I was about to cross the lane marker. Additionally, the torque applied to the steering wheel was almost imperceptible.

One that comes to mind is how Ford was forced to fix most (but not all) of the 2011-14 F-150′s for brake failures but only after the feds raided the joint and twisted their arm. Ford kept on using the same defective components on the 2015 and newer F-150′s and the problem continues to happen. I guess they’re waiting for the feds to force them to fix it like last time?

The bottom line on the 2019 Silverado is that Chevrolet is working hard to get your business. It has never offered more trim levels, more options for the entire line, or a better basic truck. You can find a 2019 Silverado that meets your needs, your desires, and your price point. Play with the configurator and you’ll easily build a Silverado that hits two – or even all three – of those points.

1. Powerband. Initial throttle response is quicker, but the power gain from low to mid is slower.2. Airbox. We have never experienced a KTM that didn’t breathe, but the 2019 450SXF’s all-new airbox holds the engine back— especially in the low-to-mid transition. We drilled holes in the airbox cover to gain power, switched to the quick-turn throttle cam and added a tooth to the rear sprocket to liven things up.3. Sprocket. Watch the sprocket bolts closely—and not just when the wheels are new. They loosen up constantly.4. Spokes. KTM redesigned its spoke nipples for 2019 to keep them from coming loose. It didn’t work.5. Frame. The more rigid frame makes the bike more accurate but less forgiving—it is best in the hands of faster riders. Vet test riders liked the 2018 frame better.6. Bars. Most riders did not like the feel of the Neken bars compared to the Husky’s Pro Tapers. 

The plaintiffs claim Chrysler’s two-piece design destabilizes the cylinder at its base, “which can result in unintended lateral movement and cause the piston inside the cylinder to become jammed.”

A growing number of cities have plans for zero emission zones, with regard to particulate and NOx emissions if not carbon, including London, Amsterdam, Madrid, Stockholm and Oslo. Such zones are likely to be extended geographically and to include more types of transport and machinery, such as construction equipment.

– is using their hazard lights in the rain and moving more than 5-10 mph – is holding up the left lane in general – is using their DRLs at night – probably a few other things, including truck drivers who go slower than 2mph under the speed limit in the left lane up a long grade (speaking of trucks, an extra long, punitive shock any time they have a tire blowout)

Chevrolet has performed a major redesign on the Silverado for 2019, and it has been rolling it out in stages. We drove the new 2.7-liter turbo and 5.3-liter engines in a test mule a couple months ago, and we recently got to spend time with the actual production versions of the new Silverado.

“However would you be accepting of serious driver training requirements, a graduated testing system and mandatory driver re-testing?”

“So yeah, I do want you to have the very best in warning systems, selfishly for MY OWN SAFETY. And if that means I end up paying more for my vehicle, that’s a minor price in my opinion.”

The cost thing is spot on as well, and compounds my annoyance. These “features” that I don’t want or need in the first place are also prone to failure and cost a lot of money to fix.
