June 26, 2019 — Nearly 8,300 Mazda CX-9 SUVs are recalled in the U.S. and Canada because multiple systems may deactivate without warning. Clearly, a chunk of that is in the performance bits in the Trackhawk. Those include the 6.2-liter, 707-horsepower supercharged V-8; the eight-speed automatic t...Read more »

Back then, installing a new radio in a vehicle’s dash involved making sure the wiring was right and speakers were matched. But in 2018, what the Almasri brothers work with are really specialized computers. What was once a fairly simple process has turned into complex engineering involving a...Read more »

Before too long, I’m ready to mount all the hardware back onto the guitar. I replace the knobs, too – including a vintage replacement that I found online. In the process, I learned that not all vintage reflector knobs were created equal and there are differences in height, the depth of the collar...Read more »

We had some work to do. Drag-racing lore says that for every 100 pounds you delete from a vehicle, you gain a tenth of a second in the quarter. By that math, in order to get the Ram down to the Viper’s 12.9-second time, we would have to pull 3820 pounds from the truck. It wasn’t just a tall order...Read more »

You raised the idea of using overwattage bulbs (100/90w), which you figure will still be brighter than stock despite voltage drop, but that’s actually not correct. A high-wattage bulb draws a lot more current than a standard-power bulb — about 65 percent more, in the case of a 100/90w bulb in p...Read more »

Why a Tesla Model 3? Apparently, it’s all-steel construction makes it a little easier to work with. That and a brand new Standard Range Model 3 is actually cheaper than a used Long Range Model 3 so she saved a bit of money. And then immediately burned whatever money she saved on converting it int...Read more »

NIO said that only vehicles manufactured before October 19, 2018 with NEV-P50 battery modules will be recalled. The company said its ES8 and ES6 vehicles, which were manufactured after October 19, 2018, used NEV-P102 battery modules. New stereo cameras, which rely on two perspectives rather than ...Read more »

I spent some time looking over the excellent material at Crutchfield.com, considered the online bible for car audio information. There I was able to find information about what it would take to replace most of the features in my Toyota radio with an aftermarket head end. Since my 2015 Ford F-150 ...Read more »

First, let’s sharpen the picture of the voltage drop in your headlamp circuit. Voltage drop — that is, lower voltage at the demand end of the wires (the bulbs) than at the supply end (battery or alternator) — is caused by resistance in a circuit’s wires, switches, and connections. More resist...Read more »

Other safety and security features such as airbags and central-locking system have been predominantly installed in more than 60% of all new vehicle sales in 2018. Specifically, Spectrum supplied Lockheed with a fully automatic Nova 820 UV laser wire marking system in 2014. This was used in the in...Read more »
