22. We completed our budget 5.3L mill with a used GM oil pan and damper (both from the same Week To Wicked project as our valve covers) and added a set of Hooker long-tube headers. The Dorman intake accepts a four-bolt throttle body so we ran a Holley 90mm piece. Our guesstimate is that you could, with careful shopping and a few trips to the local boneyard, duplicate this build easily for under $3,500.

At least suitable repair components should be at the auto parts store. Many makes use similar linkage

A nationwide strike to protest the Argentine government’s handling of the country’s economic crisis is grounding flights and paralyzing bus and train lines

Upon arriving, I was dismayed to find that there was no car akin to mine at all! A day driving my race car to work had been irritating enough, so I wasn’t ready to give up yet. I scoured the yard for similar cars, and found a couple with similar linkages, and in the end, a Volvo 850 bore fruit. Pleased with what I’d found, I headed home, with the wrecking yard giving me the part for free. Kind chaps!

In 2018 the two most common check engine repair codes were "replace ignition coil(s) and spark plug(s)" and "replace oxygen sensor" — each accounting for 5.8 percent of repairs.

Fully electric trucks like the Mack LR BEV provide several benefits, including zero emissions and the potential for improved environmental sustainability. In addition, fully electric trucks produce significantly less noise, enabling nighttime operation, a particularly attractive option for refuse operators in urban environments.

Ready for a dead-beat ride in a 10-second recap? 1,962 total complaints were logged to Car Complaints; with over 600 of those focusing on the 2005 year model; with an overwhelming majority consisting of transmission issues (the really expensive kind); averaging $3,900 to repair. This epidemic would plague the Pathfinder up until the 2009 model-year, where they were great until 2013.

And with the average UK diesel car nearly seven years old* and diesel engines accounting for 40% of all licensed cars, fuel injection system repair can prove a fruitful source of revenue for repairers.

You could have also found an 1992 BMW with the M50 motor in it as it has the almost exactly same throttle body setup on it. It’s like Bosch desgined the whole fuel injection & intake system on most of the European cars built between 1978 – 1996. You can use parts from Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, VW, Saab, Volvo (not sure about the italians or the french). Or 5min on google found the manufacturer of the offending ball joints. Found the part numbers and googled them and found them on ebay. Trouble in if you dont live in the USA postage is always astronomical.

Before Tier 4 emissions requirements, non-road diesel engines utilized a mechanical injection system. These systems were not as sensitive to contamination. Because of this, many operators are under the misconception that HPCR fuel systems are also not overly sensitive. In reality, this could not be further from the truth. Dirty or incorrect fuel, water in the fuel and air in the system can all cause damage to newer diesel engines.

My, how this issue has changed since our first(?) discussion back in 2012: what was once a measured discussion of the merits/pitfalls of de-carboning an engine is now a second nature, knee-jerk diagnosis (that’s likely accurate).
