RSD Radial Master Cylinder with Mirror Mount | Generator Diesel Consumption With Deutz Engine

The trailering package, with an included app, has all sorts of functionality. You can add a custom profile for each trailer; perform a lighting test as you inspect the vehicle from outside as part of the included Pre-Departure Checklist; hardwire a camera to the back—as well as see down the sides of the trailer, and use the aforementioned birds-eye view—and check the trailer tire pressure. (Considering the many available camera angles, it raised the question as to why the front view disappeared when a rear camera was added; the answer was short and sheepish: because the truck was made with only four available camera inputs, instead of five.) You’ll also receive an alert on your smartphone if someone’s tampering with the vehicle or trailer. 

I propose a second generation of this system, one that uses cellular data networks and all car owners’ bank accounts. Now hear me out! In addition to the negative reinforcement provided directly at the offending driver, my device would also automatically fine the offender. Wait, I’m not finished. Those funds would be distributed to neighboring motorists’ bank accounts. Folks, restitution is a concept as old as human civilization. I believe my safety device, if installed in >90% of all vehicles on the road, could very well relegate road rage to the dustbin of history, make it a distant memory of the early 21st century.

I also see that the headlight switch and oil pressure sender was swapped out 12 years and about 30,000 miles ago. Thank goodness, because I hate chasing down electrical gremlins:

Also, since GM’s proposed e-clutch system only needs a couple of wires to connect the pedal to the slave cylinder, it frees up engineers to play with the position of the clutch in relation to the driver. This could be a significant benefit on a car like, say, the midengined Corvette prototype that’s been seen testing at the Nurburgring.

There has been strong pressure against internal combustion engines worldwide, with the scandal over the emissions from diesel powered private cars has strengthening opinion against these engines. Diesel engine firms are taking the long view by offering future power options such as alternative fuels and electric systems. The engine builders are also hard at work ensuring that power units for the industrial engine sector have emissions control equipment that remove pollutants from the tailpipe exhaust effectively, meeting tough legislation.As clean combustion advocate Peter Kelly Senecal has pointed out, “The internal combustion engine holds a firm place in future transportation needs as well as in various industrial sectors. Specifically, for off-road applications.”In Europe and the US, the emissions standards for off-road mobile machinery have become more and more stringent as Senecal has highlighted. And Senecal has also said that the reliability and durability of diesel engines and ever-improving emissions control systems mean that these units will continue to dominate in the off-highway market for many years to come.Caterpillar is one of the firms developing new power options and is now offering its improved Cat C9.3B industrial engine in a version compliant with EU Stage V emissions standards.The six-cylinder, 9.3litre engine has benefited from more than 200 million hours of testing by the firm on its range of diesels in real-world, off-highway applications. A key feature is its new high- pressure common rail fuel system and simplified air, electrical and aftertreatment technology. This means the C9.3B can produce up to 340kW and 2,088Nm of torque, delivering 18% more power and 21% more torque than its predecessor, while weighing 12% less.Patented aftertreatment technology provides a compact, lightweight design, which is 39% smaller and 55% lighter than the Tier 4 Final product. Offered in a range of different configurations, the C9.3B industrial engine is available with engine-mounted aftertreatment and installed radiators from the factory.The firm says that the C9.3B engine has undergone thorough testing to ensure it can meet the industry’s newest and most stringent standards. It offers increased power and torque, combined with a simpler, lighter package, and the firm says that users will benefit from better performance as well as a 3% reduction in fuel consumption. The engine also offers improved starting in cold climates.In addition to the C9.3B, Caterpillar’s EU Stage V line-up also includes the 12.5litre C13B, incorporating technology similar to that of the C9.3B and with power ratings to 430kW.Caterpillar also is certifying its existing C13, C15, and C18 Stage IV/Tier 4 Final engines to meet EU Stage V emissions standards. Stage V certification for these engines will be achieved with no changes to customer interface points and with only minimal changes to the DPF. In addition, dual-label certification – Stage V/EPA Tier 4 Final (and Japan 2014/Korea Tier 4 Final) – will be offered for the C9.3B and all other Cat products in the 250-597kW power range.

I can’t wait to have a backup camera. My 2010 Highlander didn’t have one in the trim package that I have and the vehicle is far to elephantine for its own good. At least with a pickup I could see over the bed better than through the every shrinking windows on a CUV.

Cummins is seeking to increase its electrical power capacity for both automotive and industrial uses. It has bought two companies with battery capability, Brammo and Johnson Matthey Battery Systems, to secure more expertise in the field, with the aim of including battery power and range-extended power in its product line. It recently launched its Range Extender concept, which uses a battery pack with a smaller engine as a generator to charge it. However, the company does not believe that battery and charging technology is yet sufficiently advanced to make it viable for heavy equipment.

A hydrogen-battery hybrid system was chosen over a purely electric system as it affords greater flexibility, with Water-Go-Round’s website describing hydrogen fuel cell technology as “the best zero emissions technology for commercial maritime operators to maintain operational flexibility, commercial viability and regulatory compliance”. Other benefits of fuel cells include their lack of moving parts, resulting in near-silent operation, and scalability, meaning that fuel cells can be “stacked” and combined into larger systems.

SHARP-TURNING BIKES: The Suzuki RM-Z450 and Honda CRF450 are chassis that give to get. With their rigid aluminum frames and corner-specific geometry, the CRF450 and RM-Z are Supercross-specific frames. They are at their best on the entrance of tight turns. The downside of building a sharp-handling chassis is that the bike can feel loose on exit, very busy on fast straights and shake its head in the rough. If you push the CRF450 in too deep, you to have to fight the understeer to keep it biting on exit.

Unfortunately, there is no getting around the fact that it is a big bike—tall, bulky, wide, noisy and heavy. To make the 2019 YZ450F better, you will need 5mm lower bar mounts, aftermarket seat foam, the Travis Preston map and an air filter that doesn’t beat itself to death on the backfire screen (call Twin Air). Once you’ve fixed these things, you still have a bike that is 15 pounds heavier than the class front runner. Ask yourself, “Would you race your YZ450F with a 5 gallon enduro fuel tank on it?” Yes or no? Because that is what that extra 15 pounds makes the YZ450F feel like. Full test of the 2019 Yamaha YZ450F.

Stage V includes a broader range of engine powers and applications, including off-highway machinery, and so manufacturers have been investing in cleaner engine research for many years in preparation. The Stage V regulations will come into force for engines below 56kW and above 130kW in January 2019, and for those in between one year later.
