10. High-pipes help complete the Scrambler look, and they serve a purpose. Modern Bonnevilles sound good, but this is the way the 270-degree crank parallel-twin’s tune was meant to be heard. Their size, along with the battery box on the opposite side, does bow your legs a bit when standing on the footpegs. However, that means squeezing the bike when riding off-road is incredibly easy. The high-pipes will tend to roast when sitting at stops; however, when the temperature dropped, and the rain came down, I was glad to have the extra heat.

GM will repair the truck, this one time. It’s their opinion that the truck operated as designed and if I use the truck off road or in a manner that causes the airbags to deploy a second time, it’s either going to be my expense or I can argue about it as a warranty repair with my dealer. Consequently, GM will not be making any modifications or repairs to the restraint system to prevent another occurrence. …

It is often said that “you can only go as fast as you can stop.” Not true. If your brakes don’t work at the end of a long straight, you’ll be going a lot faster than you ever dreamed. Good brakes equate to a longer lifespan, but also to more control in off-camber turns, the ability to go in deeper and a better chance at maintaining overall chassis control.

Another benefit of an electronically-operated slave cylinder is that it would be possible to give control to a computer for certain operations such as stop and go traffic in order to prevent fatigue and the patent application even lists that as one of the benefits of such a system along with having a consistent feel even over longer periods of time which is not possible with a hydraulic system.

Nobody has answered the question, “What price do you put on a human life?” We know the stories about how allegedly accountants at Ford and GM did exactly that.

5. A slick six-speed gearbox comes equipped with a torque-assist and slipper clutch. The Scrambler 1200 clicks into gear confidently and smoothly. Better yet, the torque assist function keeps the clutch pull incredibly light, while a slipper clutch reduces wheel-hop when you botch a downshift.

And 30,000 miles ago, the water pump, thermostat, and drive belts were swapped. If these parts haven’t been swapped more recently than these records show, I’ll probably want to take care of them soon:

My neighbor had a 2011 Ford Edge and had the brake booster failure issue. Dealership wanted to charge him bc vehicle was out of warranty. I did research for him and had him contact Ford. Ford did eventually pay him back after he went through 4 of those boosters! He finally after 4th one traded it off for an Acadia Denali.

The scorched 3-4 clutches (right) are what typically fail in a 700R4 if the TV cable is not adjusted properly. Thousands of innocent 700R4’s have died because of poor TV cable tuning.

The swap began by unpacking this complete FiTech 2×4 GoEFI kit with the black finish to maintain the engine compartment theme. This was matched with a polished Edelbrock 2×4 low-rise intake manifold. But before they ripped into the engine compartment, there was an entirely new fuel delivery system to build.

“The airbags went off because there’s a sensor that determined it was in a rollover, which it shouldn’t do in an off-road branded and marketed truck,” he said over the phone, clearly upset about the whole situation.
