Friction sway controls do help with sway... but there are a coupla problems... when wet, the friction goes away... and when you're turning or backing at sharp angles, they bind. The dual-cam setups...

Due to the heat and high-speeds, I had many blow-outs with a Chevy Impala in my years in Saudi Arabia. These would be radially spread sidewall blowouts or tread separation. Often carried 2-3 spares...

I've had a blowout with a single-axle large utility trailer and a boat trailer. In both cases, they were all over the road. So was a camper driven by a friend I was following one day. So my...

I began to reflect on that, and have come to the conclusion that the diesel trucks are now getting into "the crotch rocket wars". If a cycle magazine publishes that a new bike will go 0 to 60 in 2.3...

Good deal, cactushead. One of the reasons I bought a left over 2002 is because I won't buy a new vehicle, engine, etc in the first two years of its production. The 7.3L PSD may not be the best, but...

True, with the 5.3L (and 3.42:1) but the 4.8L is only 4700 lbs with that axle. Given that the Tahoe uses 265/70X16 (2WD) or X 17 (off-road pkg) tires, and the 5.3L is one of these new higher-rpm...
