The DNA of the modular motors can be traced back to the 427 SOHC from 1964.
Mod motors are just tall/wide. The barra is a solid 12" longer from flywheel to balancer than any mod motor.
This aught to scratch your itch
Because we live in a Corporatocracy. Boeing and the other major companies have the government by the balls.
So, theoretically, why couldn’t they shut off MCAS and then just level off with yoke inputs? Why does all of this have to be so automated?
Agreed. I’m of the opinion that the ultimate goal is to find something you’re good at, it interests you enough to keep you from going insane, and with a good enough company that you don’t want to quit every day you’re there. You don’t have to look forward to monday morning, but you shouldn’t loathe it either.
Sounds like you need to get better at it.
I built a cafe racer from youtube information. Lifted a Jeep. Lowered a Mustang. Done countless maintenance tasks from Youtube tutorials. I’m no expert on wrenching, but if watching a youtube video gives someone the confidence to take on a task instead of just dropping it off at the dealership, I’m all for it. Don’t…
I always find a video for whatever work i’m doing so I can plan ahead if I need special tools. I don’t want to realize I need a special puller or something halfway through a job. Same goes for torque wrenches.
I don’t disagree, the maintenance restrictions are a real issue.
Exactly. The days of blindly dragging in implement through a field are over. That software is worth every penny because it allows them to accurately track yield differences between hybrids varieties planted in the same field.
Not only are they slower, they are exponentially louder in the cabin and more uncomfortable in the field.
Don’t get me wrong, I FULLY agree that the restrictions John Deere puts in place are ridiculous and extreme.
On one hand, I get where this is coming from. “I bought the tractor, so I should be able to do whatever I want with it”.
Agreed. My wife drives a Titanium Ecoboost and that car is awesome. I don’t know of a better car for the money. After 5 years, it still drives like brand new. Super quiet and will do 85+ down the highway without breaking a sweat. It has every bell and whistle a person could want, cheap to insure, and you can find them…
All of the negatives you listed are resolved if you didn’t get the hybrid. Very few people with argue with you that the hybrid wasn’t the best, but the EB version is a fantastic car for the money.
We have a 2.0T Fusion and honestly I feel like it is very torquey in the low RPMs. It’s into boost at about 3,000 RPM and has a solid push, far more low end grunt than any mid-size sedan I’ve been in. The mid-throttle passing power is actually pretty surprising.
Besides weird shift points, we have had no issues with our ‘15 EB Fusion. I feel like it could shift a little sooner and it’d be golden. 80,000 miles on the clock so far with zero issues.
I’m sorry, but no one has ever looked cool in a CRX. If I see someone driving a mint condition CRX, I assume they have some screws loose.
