The 2.7L/8-speed combo is worlds better than 4.3L/6-speed. The 2.7L is proving out to be the least troublesome engine in the T1xx trucks. With 5.3L still eating lifters, 6.2L outright failing, and thrust bearing issues in the 3.0L diesel (along with normal increased operational and maintenance...

It is CCS.

This is literally the same conclusion for most of the products they make. ZF, Ford, GM, Aisin, Chrysler: They're all designed to fail unless you buy our $700 fix kit! "The internet told me that 10-speed anything sucks and that I'm better off with a 6-speed transmission because they last...

I find this disgusting. Hey, I know, let's share it with everybody!

Fuse 57 in the underhood fuse block. It is a three-legged fuse.

My favorite graphene story: The gentleman that owns a local detailing store is a really nice guy. Willing to listen and troubleshoot, keeps a lot of products in stock, always helpful, and doesn't immediately go to "buying this product will solve your problem!" Chatting him up and I mentioned...

Tell me you didn't click on and read the article without telling me you didn't click on and read the article. This is a ballot proposal, not a legislative initiative. IP28 is an example of why direct democracy and popular rule is freakishly stupid, not state legislatures.

Look at the shipper/seller: great quality products... (super generic name, "..." in the seller name, all lower case, strange assortment of products) I mean, the seller name seriously has "..." at the end. Like, why are we waiting for the rest of the name? great quality products... that were...

Amazingly, many HD trucks don't tow DAILY. People don't tow their travel trailer or fifth wheel every day. They tow them occasionally. I know, it's a difficult concept to understand. To that end: Hell yes towables have gotten larger. In 1996, the largest fifth wheel grossed around 13k lbs. Not...

Oh, I'm sure this 100% has to do with safety. I'm sure of this becasue safety is at the forefront of Chinese business practices. I mean, it's not like they're using paint instead of food coloring: More than 200 children found with high lead levels after kindergarten in China uses paint as food...

How can "capitalism do its thing" when the product itself is the result of a state-sponsored economy? You could literally fill a semesters worth of macroeconomic teaching with this: State-sponsored capitalism, flooding-the-market/dumping, predatory pricing, green grabbing. China already showed...

Is this the new default? Anything we find dumb is "AI"? While this video is slop, it is not AI slop. Those are some actual grubby human fingernails. People have been doing dumb things long before AI and they'll keep doing dumb things long after our robot overloards have us breaking rocks...

BYD had big presence at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit for a few years starting in 2009. They were touting their "Green Dreams" lineup of hybrid and EVs, using their "superior" battery tech. I remember this because BYD's chairman drove one of their cars through the hall...
