    2022 Canyon Alternator

    Yes, it is called Regulated Voltage Control. This is a GM Techlink article from a while back about it: https://www.centerlearning.com/tmswebtree/techlink/images/issues/sep04/TL_Sept04.pdf It has gotten a bit more sophisticated since this article. Previous iterations (like described in the...

    2025 JD Power Initial Quality Study

    Initial quality isn't long term dependability (or any real measure of dependability). IQS seeks to find "problems" in the first 90 days of ownership. Is a repair visit a problem? Yeah, of course it is, and it's counted in the IQS data. The layout of switches and buttons is also considered a...

    3/4 Ton Gas vs Diesel vs Tundra

    I daily a 2024 Silverado 2500 w/ 6.6L gas and tow an 8,800 lb. travel trailer through the summer. For towing, it's not even a contest. Towing with my previous 1500 (2020 Silverado) was like framing a house with a hammer and moving to the 2500 was like getting a framing nailer. Can you frame an...

    Congress removes CARB and other state's ability to set emissions standards

    Big winner: The API. They bought themselves a win. Big losers: Voters (this means you). Your voice, as spoken through your elected representative, is weaker because of this. This was passed using the Congressional Review Act, which is a statute that allows the Senate to nullify rules issued by...

    Would you eat "lab grown" meat?

    I prefer my meat the old-fashioned way: Factory-farmed and pumped full of growth hormones and antibiotics! :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Slate EV Pickup

    An EV startup based in Troy, with auto industry veterans running the show and big money backing, building a no-frills vehicles in Indiana? Man does this story sound familiar. Oh, yeah, now I remember! Electric Last Mile Solutions! They were an EV startup based in Troy, just a few miles from...

    Formula One- 2025

    Truly a testament that you're only as good as your last season: Checo wheeled the RB18 and RB19 really well. Missed second in the driver to Leclerc by 3 points in 2022 and handling outscored Hamilton for the #2 spot in 2023. More importantly than outright performance, he was consistently able...

    Best Protection for Gloss Black Powder Coated Wheels

    A ceramic coat is probably your best option and good maintenance. I mean, wheels probably have it worse than any other part of the vehicle. They're right on the ground, getting pounded by the natural road (on or off-road) environment, plus they have to live in the vicinity of brake dust and...

    Cummins releases first gas engine

    Cummins first gasoline engine but not their first non-diesel engine. Cummins has built spark-ignition CNG engines for over a decade, starting with a CNG 12L version of the ISX.

    Asian instant soup that isn’t horrendously artificial?

    They're not inexpensive (~$3/pack) but they're the best instant noodles I've ever had. Noodles are air dried, not fried, so the amount of total fat and especially saturated fat is much lower. Tons of sodium still (par for the course with noodles). Ingredient list for my favorite (Sweet & Spicy...

    Global coal demand keeps increasing - per the IEA / Bloomberg

    Wrong assumption. In 2024, 5 times more capacity was added in wind and solar versus capacity added in coal. Coal is growing at 1% per year. Renewables are growing at 15% per year. In 2024, 44,000 MW of coal generation was added (36,000 of those MW were from China and India). Also in 2024...

    Higher end watches, something I am unable to connect the dots on

    The best analogy I can give to people who don't understand watches is guns. You can go to Bass Pro and get a rifle or handgun and it's just that, a rifle or handgun. It's typically black, fairly utilitarian, but gets the job done. Now start down the path of custom colors and finishes...

    GM 8L45 and Octane

    There was a pretty awesome guy who data-logged 87 vs. 93 octane fuel on his 5.3L/8L90 truck to show just how much knock retard is used running 87, how terrible it makes everything feel because of the effect on torque management, and why he runs 93 in his truck that "recommends" 87. He posted it...
