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.

nanny-mandate (my own cutesy term I just coined): you’d like to see a bunch of these “nanny” safety systems mandated by the government or other regulatory agency for all cars on the roads.

Then, this past Saturday, a Pennsylvania truck driver named Matt Gotowchikow posted a video onto Facebook showing the off-road variant of the Colorado—the big, bad ZR2—popping its side curtain airbags while navigating what appears to be a relatively mild trail.

The rear axle issue has affected 2014-2015 Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks. GM/ Chevy did recall the vehicles that had issues. The problem occurred when the rear axle cross pins were not attached correctly and could cause the rear axle to stop and freeze causing a possible crash. The rear axles job is to turn the driveshaft that gives rotational force making the car move. According to Auto Blog, the company expanded the recall and added more pickup trucks, and cars to the list. Chevy told vehicle owners to bring their cars into the dealer so that could replace the pin at Chevy’s expense.

GMC’s AT4 Sierra—for "All Terrain 4"—comes with a factory-installed two-inch lift kit and more off-road oriented tires. If you’re familiar with Chevy’s "Trail Boss" package, you’re looking at the same thing here. Any trim level Sierra, including the Denali’s, can be ordered with the lift kit from the factory.

• Full diesel-electric mode can be used for standby and low-speed transits. This mode adds the benefit of reduced fuel and maintenance consumption by using smaller gen-sets instead of propulsion engines, Caterpillar said and also reduces NOx emissions with a higher engine load factor.

yeah, but what do you propose to do to those awful people who have perfectly functional older cars that don’t meet your nanny-mandate that is keeping your family from certain doom?

Buck’s ’56 Rat ran great with its 750-cfm double-pumper, but he was also searching for a little added sophistication. The plan focused on finding a 2×4 package that could achieve both goals. What Buck discovered is that FiTech offers just such a 2×4 EFI throttle body kit designed to bolt directly on an Edelbrock 2×4 low-rise manifold with minimal fuss.

I would be happy to see deregulating of the automotive safety space: if you want to commute in a Mahindra Roxor to work, more power to you. If you think that’s crazy and insist on buying a car with 10 airbags, hey that’s your choice as well, the market provides that. My guess is that most people car shopping would favor cars with at least a reasonable level of safety, but if someone came on the market with a $6000 reincarnation of the Nissan Tsuru (’91-’94 Sentra), maybe they would sell a few to cheapskates like me. I’m comfortable with that.

Next, I contorted my body to get into the tiny driver’s footwell. Once there, I removed two nuts holding the master cylinder to the firewall (one shown in the picture below, and one on the opposite corner hidden from view).

The 5.3-liter V8 with DFM returns 15 mpg in the city and 20 mpg on the highway when it powers the 4WD LT Trail Boss crew-cab model. The High Country crew-cab powered by the 6.2-liter engine returns 16 and 20, respectively. Chevrolet hasn’t released fuel economy figures for the 2.7-liter.

In the system shown in the patent application, a sensor is mounted on the clutch pedal which send an electronic signal to an actuator mounted on the electronic slave cylinder in the transmission in order to move the clutch plate. This allows for installation of transmission far away from the clutch pedal without worry of a long hydraulic line.
