5 Surprising Substances That Could Actually Power A Car
Sometimes, things are designed a certain way because they have to be. A shoe is shaped to fit the foot, and the shape of an airplane's wing is dictated by the laws of physics to generate lift. There's only so much fiddling you can do to either without losing what makes them a shoe or a wing. Other times, things go down one path when they could have gone down another. The automobile engine falls into the latter camp.

Mislabeled Gas Pumps Leave Drivers Needing Thousands In Repairs
Have you ever gone to a gas station and been presented with multiple pumps, each one a different color? It's a fairly ubiquitous design template, common to almost any station that sells both gasoline and diesel. One way people can tell the difference between the two fuel types is by the color of the pump: gas pumps are often black, while diesel pumps are typically green. Unfortunately for some drivers who stopped at a Metro Gas station in Southington, Connecticut, a regular fuel stop became very expensive after the fuel delivery company in charge of refueling the pumps mistakenly put diesel in the gas tank and gas in the diesel tank.

For more complex jobs, such as a transmission oil change or a timing belt replacement, these considerations become even more important.

Do Diesel Pickups Burn Through Tires Faster Than Gas Trucks?
There are many differences between gasoline and diesel-powered trucks beyond the fuel they use. Diesel engines tend to be larger with a longer stroke (the distance the pistons travel within each cylinder), thicker blocks, and heavier internals to handle higher compression ratios. Thanks to diesel's higher energy density, those engines typically produce more torque and weigh more than their gasoline equivalents. There are some myths about tires that might mislead you, but the added torque and weight of diesel trucks means their tires will wear out faster than the ones on gas-fueled trucks. Tire wear is dependent on a few key factors: the tire's composition and geometry, road surface conditions, and vehicle physics.

Looking For A Luxury Car? Consumer Reports Says Skip The European Brands
Whether you have a million dollars in the bank or lead a modest lifestyle, luxury cars have a certain appeal that's hard to deny. They turn heads in parking lots and on roads, are associated with celebrities and the ultra-rich, and allow drivers — and passengers, for that matter — to ride in style and utter comfort. Of course, there's a range of price points for luxury automobiles, with some brands like Acura offering great value, while others like Rolls-Royce ask sky-high prices justified by steep brand cachet. But cost-prohibitive cars aren't always a guarantee for better user experiences.

This model was only available to lease and was powered by 27 lead acid (and later nickel metal hydride) batteries. The range was somewhere around 70 miles, which is paltry today compared to a car like the GMC Sierra EV that can get over 400 miles of range without much issue.

These Two GM Engines Are Within A Cubic-Inch Of Each Other, But Still So Different
How big is one cubic inch? In physical size? Tiny, obviously. Even in terms of engine displacement, which we are about to discuss, a single cubic inch is almost nothing. It's an amount regularly rounded over several times in the modern era of using liters to advertise displacement. Back in the late 1960s and early '70s, at the height of the original American muscle car era, when displacement ruled and performance branding was everything, GM's muscle car engineers saw themselves more as rivals than friends. In that era, a single cubic inch on a V8-powered muscle car could mean everything.

From the earliest days of motoring, cars have evolved dramatically. The very first car envisioned by Carl Benz bears little resemblance to the vehicles we drive today; since then, engineers have found better, safer, and more efficient solutions for nearly every system on the vehicle. For instance, older cars relied on basic mechanical drum brakes, while most modern cars use anti-lock braking systems (ABS), electronic stability control (ESC), and hydraulics as standard.

As with any mechanical creation, cars aren't perfect.

Continuously variable transmissions, also known as CVTs, have become quite common over the last decade. Most automakers use them to some extent, especially mainstream brands.

These pulleys and belts continuously change their own gear ratios, negating the need for hard shifts as you find in other types of transmissions.

Is It Legal To Check Your Phone At A Red Light? Here's What CA Law Says

Legendary British Car Brand Returns With An EV That Screams Old-School Quirkiness
In recent years, several famous names from the history of British carmaking have been resurrected years after they first disappeared.

Looking For A 2026 Camry Alternative? This One Is At The Right Price Point With More HP
When Toyota moved its Camry sedan to an all-hybrid powertrain for the 2025 model year, it was a big improvement across the board for the most part. With 225 hp in total (or 235 hp with optional AWD), the modern-day Camry's hybrid powertrain is, by all metrics, a major upgrade from the old base four-cylinder engine that powered earlier models. The hybrid's performance should be more than adequate for most buyers, with a notable improvement in both power and fuel economy compared to the old setup.

Red Light Not Turning Green? You May Be Able To Help The Sensor Detect Your Car
Modern traffic light technology isn't just a simple sequence of red, yellow, and green. It's a complex detection system designed to manage traffic flow based on real-time demand. The very first "smart" traffic lights used pressure plates, but modern systems rely on infrared sensors, cameras, or inductive loops to detect a vehicle. When cars reach the line, the approach system sends a signal that triggers the green-light cycle.

Yes, Improper Maintenance Can Hurt Your Car's Resale Value -- Don't Make These Mistakes
According to The Universal Technical Institute, a car is made out of 30,000 to 40,000 parts. Some of these, like the frame and the chassis, are built for long-term durability and, with proper maintenance, can last the life of the vehicle. Most others are expendable, and will eventually cause problems, replacements, and repairs. If those issues aren't addressed in time, the car won't be as reliable, and that can hurt its selling potential.

Fines & Jail Time? Florida Isn't Messing Around With License Plate Frames
Most Floridians probably never paid a lot of attention to license plate frames. They are just seen as props installed for aesthetics for most drivers. And for dealers, they double as something that lets their logo travel around town as free advertisement. But this casual attitude is about to change. That's thanks to House Bill 253, which officially went into law on October 1, 2025. It basically ups the penalty for obscuring a license plate from a simple fine to a second-degree misdemeanor. So now, if the frame hides any part element on the plate -- be it letters, numbers, or the registration sticker -- it's better to simply get rid of it.

Goodbye Worn Out Leather Steering Wheel: Here's An Easy DIY Method To Restore Yours
Steering wheels are subject to wear and tear — we touch them every time we drive. However, worn steering wheels are not only unsightly but unsafe, reducing your grip and control. Modern vehicles are often made with leather, a material that can easily start to crack and split when exposed to the sun and constant friction. The dirt, oils, sweat, and products on your hands can also cause discoloration and staining. If you're looking for a cost-effective DIY way to restore your leather steering wheel rather than cover it up, it's luckily not too hard to do.

Who Makes Fram Oil Filters?
The company that originally made Fram Oil Filters was created by Frederick Franklin and T. Edward Aldham in Providence, Rhode Island, in 1932. They create their company's name by combining the first two letters of Franklin's name with the last two of Aldham's name. Fram created an easily replaceable oil filtering element for automotive engines. Prior to this development, oil filters were tough to remove and replace. The first Fram oil filters were hand assembled, later being produced by mass production techniques, and today are made internationally, with some filters being made in China and Mexico. Today's Fram filters do not rank very highly when compared to other filter brands, but the role of the oil filter is an important one as far as your engine is concerned.

Some even roped in famous names from the motorsport world for a little extra showroom appeal — take the Dodge Shelby Dakota, for example, which received unique graphics and a body kit, along with a 175-horsepower V8 engine. Even the cleanest examples of the F-Series trucks and square body Chevys from the era can also now command significant sums among collectors, and enthusiasts are all too aware that many of these trucks aren't as affordable as they once were.

Hyundai & Kia Recall More Than 300K Cars Over Melting Fuel Tanks
Kia and Hyundai haven't had the best track record recently in terms of overall reliability. From interior elements falling off to electrical shorts causing fires (the latter problem affecting some 3.3 million vehicles), the 2020s have not been particularly kind to Hyundai and its subsidiary. Because Kia shares much of its parts with its parent company — think Ford and Lincoln, for example — when one suffers from such failures, often the other does as well, boosting the numbers deep into the six figures. Such is the case with this latest recall, affecting both manufacturers equally, and just as catastrophically: a defective purge control system check valve, which can lead to a melted fuel tank, according to the recall notice provided by the NHTSA (PDF).

The world is your oyster, but the problem is, the more personal you make your oyster, the less likely it is to appeal to someone else.

These vehicles will be built on the rear-/all-wheel drive Alpha 2-2 platform, which is the advanced next-gen version of the Alpha 2 platform. Alpha 2 provided the underpinnings of the current Cadillac CT5, the discontinued Cadillac CT4, and the late, lamented sixth-generation Chevrolet Camaro, which might or might not be gone for good. While GM has committed to building the next generation of the Cadillac CT5 on the Alpha 2-2 platform, GM Authority's sources have claimed that the U.S. will be getting another vehicle built using the same underpinnings.

Most notable is car registration, which needs to be updated every few years to ensure you can legally drive your car. While it's not necessarily overly expensive, it does cost money all the same. Fortunately for some, there are ways to get around these fees — provided you're eligible.

Is It Worth Getting A Costco Membership Just For Gas? Here's How Much You'll Actually Save

Maybe you just don't like going to the store that often as a single person and want to stock up on everything you need to avoid going out all the time.

Whether it's environmental activists or public transportation enthusiasts, there's quite the vocal crowd urging the United States to build more high-speed rail transportation.

Another 274 km (170 miles) are under construction, with an additional 5,062 km (3,145 miles) planned for the future. High-speed rail is a far more efficient method of transportation than airplanes and automobiles, so installing more of these rail lines across the country would be a huge environmental benefit.

What Does Running Out Of Gas Actually Do To Your Car's Engine?
For those of us who've played a game of fuel gauge roulette, the consequences of getting it wrong and lurching to an undignified halt at the side of the road go beyond mere inconvenience. Whether it's through forgetfulness, laziness, or just trying to push the limits, running out of fuel is not something your engine, or other mechanical components, will appreciate.

Honda Says The 2026 Passport TrailSport Is A Real Off-Roader, So We Put It To The Test
Near the end of this summer, I returned from my trip to Louisville, Kentucky for the 2026 Kia Sportage HEV to find a white 2026 Honda Passport TrailSport waiting for me in the economy lot of my local airport. From that moment until a week later when I sent it on its way to its next adventure, I got to spend time learning how this rugged midsize crossover fared in the day-to-day (which is, frankly, how most of these Passports will spend their days). Though fuel economy and the noisy all-terrain tires groaning about the lack of rougher trails to roll upon counted as minuses, I found this boxy Honda to be quite good for those who want something more tough than a CR-V without the size of the Pilot.

While this would not make New York State the new king of speed, it would at least mean it'll no longer be one of the five U.S. states with the slowest speed limits. This is just a bill, though, so it still needs to go through the committee and the floor in both the State Assembly and the State Senate before reaching the Governor for their approval.

Land Rover has an outstanding pedigree for both luxury features and a military heritage, a formula which should theoretically produce a car that's both reliable and well-equipped.

And for the most part, many of these cars have sketchy reliability, likely due to their incredibly complex features that can go wrong.

What's The Worst Ford Diesel Engine, According To Drivers?
Typically, most people associate the common Ford Super Duty with the classic image of a perennial work truck — something designed to run for hundreds of thousands of miles to generate revenue for its owner. But every car, no matter how seemingly durable, has the potential to hide a true lemon under the hood, and even the venerable Super Duty is no exception. The Power Stroke's fundamental design dates to the 1980s, and not much has changed since then; from the first 7.3L Power Stroke that debuted in 1994 to the modern examples three decades later, hardly anyone associates these engines with poor reliability, save for one specific problem child: the infamous 6.0.

OHV stands for overhead valve, and these types of powerplants can also be called pushrod engines. OHV engines have the intake and exhaust valves located above the camshaft, which is in the engine block and driven by the crankshaft. The valves are actuated by pushrods that run from the camshaft lobes to rocker arms in the cylinder head, which enable the valves to open and close. Most OHV engines have two valves per cylinder.

Police Cars Aren't Armored For Good Reason
It's likely that many people have a negative association with police cars — or, at the very least, their lights. Nobody wants to see them flash from behind, as it may mean that a ticket with their name on it lies in their future. Pulling people over is hardly the only thing that police use their cars for, however. They are also used to transport officers to potentially violent situations in which they could be shot at or harmed.

This Train Just Set A Hyperloop Top Speed Record & May Be The Future Of Transportation
For those unfamiliar, a hyperloop is a currently experimental form of public transportation originally conceptualized by Elon Musk, in which a passenger capsule is sealed into a borderline vacuum-sealed tube track and propelled along at high speeds via magnetic propulsion. The lack of air resistance and the sheer railgun-esque force of the magnetic rails would, in theory, allow such a vehicle to shoot forward at incredible speeds, exponentially faster than any other ground-based public transport currently in use.

Fast traffic algorithm could improve real-time traffic forecasts
Everyone hates traffic. Big cities in particular are plagued by an overabundance of vehicles, turning a simple crosstown jaunt into an odyssey during rush hour.

When Do You Not Need To Stop For A School Bus In Colorado?
While there are a number of truly strange traffic laws in the United States, one of the most sensible is the need to stop for a school bus that has come to a stop and has its stop sign out with flashing red lights. This is to ensure the safety of all the children getting on or off the bus. In Colorado, you need to stop for a school bus even when you are on the other side of the street, heading in the opposite direction. It does not matter how many lanes the street has or even if there is a large, painted median separating the two directions of traffic.

Automotive insurance from the major brands definitely isn't cheap, and if you're not getting consistent use out of it, you may consider investing less in it to reduce its footprint in your life.

5 Mercedes-Benz Models With The Worst Resale Value
Mercedes-Benz is considered a luxury brand, which means its vehicles are generally more expensive and extravagant. As you might expect, this also means that any lower-than-average resale values will deal an even heavier blow to their overall cost. Losing 50% of a cheap SUV's original cost will only mean you lose around $10,000 to $20,000, but to a Mercedes-Benz SUV, that same percentage could mean a loss of nearly $50,000. At that point, it's all too obvious why you'd want to be wary of the brand's worst-valued models.

350 Chevy versus Ford 351W: Which Engine Is Best?
I started learning to work on cars in the late 1970s by helping my stepdad turn salvaged mid-1960s Chevy Chevelles into street-stock-class race cars. Throughout that period, I had my hands on a number of small-block Chevy V8s, including a fair number of 350 Chevy engines. While the late 1970s might have been among the worst years for production 350 Chevy engines, the race engines we used more closely resembled those from the early 1970s, a time before the required emissions changes brought the Muscle Car Era to a halt.

It restricts speed and power to protect major components like the engine or transmission from further damage. Most Cummins (or diesel trucks for that matter) behave similarly when in limp mode.

The core idea is simple: simulate how air behaves when it hits your car at speed, and use that data to cut drag, reduce fuel burn, and meet emissions goals faster.

If you've scrolled through truck forums or chatted with DIYers at a trailer park, you've probably heard someone say they "upgraded" their truck's towing capacity. Is that possible? Well, not quite. Towing capacity isn't a suggestion, but a hard limit that your car's automaker set after thoroughly testing how well your vehicle can handle maximum stress across its drivetrain, frame, brakes, suspension, and cooling systems. In other words, it's something baked into the design, not added on after the fact as some may think.

Why Cummins Had To Pay Nearly $2B After The EPA Accused It Of Cheating
Cummins is one of the biggest engine manufacturers, building both gas and diesel power plants for trains, commercial vehicles, construction equipment, and even marine vessels. One of its best-known automotive products is the 6.7-liter turbodiesel that has powered Ram's 2500 and 3500 pickups since 2007. But now, that engine and its reputation are being called into question by one of the largest environmental penalties in U.S. history. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the California Air Resources Board (CARB) accused Cummins of using "defeat devices" in these trucks to cheat emission tests.

Can Driving Over Broken Glass Damage Your Tires?
Road tires are made specifically to last as long as possible on all kinds of terrain. But not all tires are built the same. For instance, an economy tire you might find on a Corolla isn't as robust as one you might see on an F-150, and a touring tire would likely be more durable than a performance tire. This makes it hard to say what exactly could damage a tire because it depends on the type of tire you're using.

When the Y-Block V8 debuted in 1954, it boasted a long list of improvements over its predecessor.

This extra stiffness was partly thanks to the engine's deep skirting, which would also give the Y-Block its name. Rather than looking like a traditional "V" when viewed from the front, the skirting made the engine look closer to a "Y." Keen to find a way to distinguish this all-new V8 design from its older engines, Ford used the "Y-Block" name in its early promotional material, and the label stuck.

Pontiac didn't necessarily have the best of times when it was around.

But while the brand's later years may not have been that exciting, it would be a major disservice to dismiss Pontiac's output in its entirety.

Why Supercars Have Such Terrible Resale Value
Supercars are designed with a completely different purchasing philosophy compared to mass-produced cars. Where regular car purchases are primarily driven by practical factors including safety, reliability, and fuel economy; supercar purchases are primarily driven by emotional factors, including achievement, performance, and exclusivity. This also means that supercars are bought by people with higher financial means. Be that as it may, buying a supercar is often the very opposite of a good financial decision, since these factors do not always protect them from steep value depreciation over time.

From trying to remember which side your gas tank is on to issues with the pump mysteriously clicking off, a quick fill-up isn't always straightforward.

For example, the nozzle could be damaged, where a bend or pinch could impact the shut-off sensor. It could also be an issue with a particular gas station's flow rate, which may be delivering fuel a bit too quickly for your vehicle to handle, triggering the shut-off system.

The Mistake You Might Be Making With New Tires
It's easy to go into autopilot mode following certain car maintenance activities, like getting an oil change or replacing an air filter. You just hop in the car and go. However, other types of work require more attention at the outset, including getting new tires. It's easy to assume that new tires are ready to deliver peak traction the moment they touch the pavement, but the reality is far different.

What Is The Hole On The Back Of An Airplane For?
If you've ever stared at the back of a plane while boarding or taxiing and noticed a small hole near the tail, you're not alone. It's easy to miss, but once you see it, you'll start spotting it on nearly every commercial jet. And, no, it is not a secret camera, nor a drain pipe. It is actually an exhaust point for something called the Auxiliary Power Unit, or APU. So, what are APUs and why do some planes use them?

What Is The Largest Engine Ever Put In A Production Car?
The title of largest engine ever installed in a production car goes to the Pierce-Arrow Model 66, built between 1910 and 1918. It was powered by a massive 13.5-liter straight-six engine, displacing 825 cubic inches, dwarfing anything built before or since. Despite its size, the T-head engine made only around 60 to 66 horsepower, but its torque was immense, and it could cruise comfortably at speed, even by today's standards. The Model 66 wasn't just a prototype or a one-off flop.

As well as being crucial to the production of chips and processors globally, the state is also critical to EV battery production because it's the home to Carolina Lithium.

No, Oil Filters Aren't Universal - Here's How To Know What Kind You Need
The internal combustion engines that power most of our vehicles depend on a steady supply of engine oil for lubrication and friction reduction. This fluid comes in various different viscosities or thicknesses and is engineered specifically for the harsh conditions inside of a car's engine. Oil isn't the only component that makes up your vehicle's engine lubrication system, though. In addition to the oil sump or pan, various lines and oil passages, your car also relies on an engine oil filter to help keep the oil clean and free from debris.

Owners of newer hybrid or electric vehicles may be familiar with that unassuming but mysterious letter on the gear selector: "B." Unfortunately, it's not for Boost mode.

A woman even called the police after seeing this feature hanging from the exhaust pipe of her car. What did she find, you might ask?

Designed with long-haul efficiency and driver comfort first, the Kenworth T680 and Peterbilt 579 are some of the most popular semi-trucks on the highway, both with legendary reputations. Although their specs and features often overlap, these two trucks -- which share the same parent company, PACCAR -- are not exactly alike. Choosing between the T680 and 579 is more than just a question of brand loyalty for fleet managers and drivers both, it's about striking the ideal mix of technology, fuel economy, durability, and driver experience.

Few sounds can ruin a car owner's day quicker than a "click, click, click" when you turn the key in the vehicle's ignition. While other issues with the starting system may ultimately prove the culprit, more often than not, that sound signifies that the battery powering your vehicle is dead. Of course, as far as engine problems go with automobiles, a dead battery is far from the worst case scenario, because in most cases, the drained power source can be given a second life by borrowing power from another battery.

What Is The 80% Rule And Does It Truly Matter When Charging Your Tesla Battery?
If you drive a Tesla, you've probably heard of something called the 80% rule, which recommends regularly charging your vehicle to around 80% instead of going all the way to 100%. There's even a "daily recommended charge limit" option highlighted right in the charging settings screen of Tesla vehicles, with anything above that meant for longer, planned road trips. In fact, it's not just Tesla that does this. Several other EV makers, including BMW, Ford, and Hyundai, have official documentation telling users to avoid charging their EVs to 100% unless absolutely necessary.

Cars are less colorful than they used to be. In fact, according to a 2023 study by iSeeCars, they're only half as colorful as they were 20 years ago.

Combine that with the flood of similar crossover and SUV designs on the market at the moment, and it's easy to see why some people say all new cars look the same.

The horsepower race has been particularly prominent in the pickup truck segment, with the most powerful trucks today hitting numbers that wouldn't look out of place on the spec sheet of an Italian exotic.

10 Trucks Just As Or More Reliable Than The Toyota Tacoma
In 2024, the Toyota Tacoma was the fifth best-selling pickup in the United States. Although it may never outpace the Ford F-Series or other higher-ranking trucks, the Tacoma sold more than 192,000 units, and that's is nothing to scoff at. There are plenty of pickup trucks on the market to choose from, and the Tacoma consistently ranks near the top. It's the one exception to the general rule that American's prefer U.S.-built trucks.

Do Used Tires Need To Be Balanced? What To Know Before You Buy
The secret to making your vehicle last long is to prioritize regular maintenance. This can range from changing the air filters and engine oil, to installing new brake pads and spark plugs. However, while some maintenance projects might be too affordable for car owners, others can cost a pretty penny. In fact, tire replacement can set you back hundreds of dollars, with the average cost of new tires being pretty high.

2025 Toyota Corolla Review: After Sixty Years, One Thing's Clear
In November of 1966, Toyota introduced a new little car to showrooms in its home country of Japan, taking on competitors like the Datsun 1000 and Subaru 1000. Two years later, the Corolla landed in the U.S., dwarfed by everything else on the market at the time. Fortunes would change after the 1973 energy crisis, though, when the fourth-generation Corolla helped Toyota grow in the U.S., due largely to being more fuel efficient than the domestic behemoths waiting in line for fuel.

Do V8 Engines Use More Gas Than V6s?
It's a question that seems fairly simple at first glance: Do fewer cylinders really mean less fuel consumption? That is the case, generally speaking, considering less cylinders means less fuel being burned over the same timeframe. So, running two isolated engines with the same size combustion chamber, one a V6 and one a V8, at the same RPM — sure, a V6 easily wins in the fuel efficiency department. But that fails to account for a host of other factors.

As a result, upgrading an air filter with one from the most popular air filter brands is one of the most popular modifications for drivers looking to juice maximum performance out of their car. However, just because you can make a certain modification doesn't mean you should, and there's plenty of evidence out there that shows an expensive air filter isn't necessarily going to give a car a performance boost on its own.

While it's great that manufacturers are continuing to set new standards in the segment, the differences between the starting price points, size, and powertrain manage to separate each model enough for them to be worthy of consideration.

10 Of The Strangest Muscle Cars Ever Made
Today, even the tiniest hatchback on the market (looking at you, Fiat 500e) probably comes with more safety features than a fully-equipped 1980 flagship sedan.

What may seem even more insane is that the EPA didn't actually ban the use of asbestos in brake pads until March 2024 — even though we've known about the links between asbestos and cancer since the 1930s.

However, before we all rush out and buy one, there are a few things worth bearing in mind.

Lexus RZ versus Toyota bZ4X: Is The Price Difference Worth It? Here's What Owners Say
So many car manufacturers have been pivoting to electric vehicles in recent years. It is understandable as to why. Not only are they just exciting, often well-made vehicles, but their overall impact on the environment is typically a whole lot less than their gas-powered counterparts. One company that has not dived as far into the EV pool as you might expect is Toyota.

When it comes to keeping our cars clean, it's usually the upper-most portions we worry about the most. It's easy to see why, as these are the most visible components. They are also the easiest to access when cleaning. However, the very bottom of our cars can benefit from some TLC as well, especially considering that they're what's closest to the road and thus take a beating from dirt, moisture, and other debris. This is where mud flaps and splash guards can prove useful allies.

2025 Land Rover Defender 110 Review: Anything Less Would Be A Compromise
Elevated driving positions, rugged styling, and lots of flexible space: sometimes, it feels like American drivers buy SUVs for every possible reason bar actually going off-road. That could, on the face of it, present a problem for something like the 2025 Land Rover Defender 110, an SUV that — for all its niceties — refuses to compromise when it comes to ability regardless of terrain.

It won't matter how careful you drive, since nails, screws, and other road debris will find ways to puncture tires every once in a while.

Common Problems With The Toyota Tundra Turbo V6 Engine (According To Owners)
2022 saw Toyota give its full-size pickup truck a major overhaul, with the biggest change coming in the form of its new powertrain. Much to many people's dismay, the beloved and longstanding V8 was snubbed for a new 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6. Unfortunately, for Toyota, its new engine did not receive the warm welcome they had hoped for, and with good reason. Soon after it was launched, the new powerplant was subject to serious scrutiny from owners and mechanics alike. Consequently, Toyota ended up recalling over 100,000 2022-2023 Tundra's and Lexus LX 600's because of a manufacturing fault that could result in full engine failure.

What Does A Choke Valve Do In Your Engine's Carburetor?
The choke valve in an engine's carburetor, whether it's a Holley carburetor or another brand, helps a cold engine start by restricting some of the airflow into it.

If you've been searching for a car, chances are you've stumbled across a rebadged one. Rebadging means an automaker sells a car built by another company with its own badge and logo. The changes made to the original model can vary, from minor tweaks — limited to a new trim, bumpers, and headlights — to major overhauls that involve heavy restyling to make the rebadged model look very different from the original vehicle. This practice is actually far more common than most people realize, and it's something even established automakers indulge in, as it can help reduce development costs and also enable manufacturers to conform with government regulations.
