Decent Essays
Bud
Bud is a 1991 GMC Sierra 1500. He has always been a good truck. The owner bought him for only $500. There are three really cool things about Bud that you should know. He has a 350 5.7L V8 engine, a 700 R4 transmission, and a six foot bed.

The engine is throttle body injected or (TBI). A lot of people think TBI is not good and always messes up, but for Bud it works really well. It leaks a little oil, but if a GM engine doesn’t leak it’s not happy.
Second, Bud has a 700 R4 transmission. This is the best transmission that can be in this make and model of truck. It turns all

    What we do know is that this will be a traditional body-on-frame pickup truck just as the Wrangler itself continues with this time-honored automobile construction method. Maintaining the traditional style is important as that allows for more torsional flexing, ideal for off-roading. To get some idea of what the unnamed pickup truck will look like, we should examine the Jeep Wrangler first. That model traces its heritage back to the very first Jeep. The Wrangler name was introduced in 1986 and now represents both the standard two-door Wrangler and the extended-wheelbase Wrangler…

    It was a sunny day and all was well; until we heard a bang sound come from in-front of us. Dad, Mom, Josh (my little brother), and myself all witnessed a red pick-up truck strike a SUV head on; but what we then realized was the red pick-up fleeing the scene. He sped past us going at least sixty mph down a hill through a fifty mph zone. We proceeded down the hill because we were heading home and it just so happened to be the same direction he fled. We saw him swerve around a car, but he did not get lucky trying to avoid the other car zooming around the corner in the other lane; he also hit that car…

    I could hear a clicking sound in the engine block while the V8 was idling. The Rough Country shocks were barely compressed by the 1500 pound body that the 1994 4x4 Ford F150 was sculpted from. The chassi was visible as the light blue square body Ford sat on a 6 inch lift kit with 35 inch all terrain tires and 12 inch solid black rims. Its guts were showing revealing its light gray cotton interior. It had carpet on the top of the dashboard along with an RPM gage with a red needle that roared up the gage when you pressed the gas and got the 205 horsepower engine pumping on all cylinders.…

    Do you want a vehicle that is good on fuel, reliable, and has power? Diesel vehicles are good on fuel, because they are good for about 300,000 miles, and provide more power. They are more reliable because they run off of compressed air and their engine parts are built stronger than traditional gas engines parts. Everyone should own a diesel vehicle over a gasoline vehicle because diesels are more fuel efficient, have more power, torque, and more reliable. Diesel engines provide more power using less fuel compared to gasoline engines.…

    Essay On Oil Embargo

    During the 1970’s, America and many other Western nations endured a severe oil shortage, due to an embargo set by the Middle Eastern nations. These Middle Eastern nations controlled the oil company known as OPEC, which helped supply many Western nations their oil. OPEC, or The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, was formed by the coming together of all the Arab countries who were infuriated at the fact that Palestinian lands were taken and used to create Israel (OPEC States Declare Oil Embargo). Other events took place before the Arab countries united and created the embargo. Those prior events made it easier for the want of an embargo, and allowed the Middle Eastern countries a chance for revenge against the Western nations.…

    The Mustang’s reputation precedes it, therefore no special wheel composition is required. Toggle-Controlled Driving Modes One feature that stands out and is entirely appropriate for the Mustang is a row of jet-like toggle switches near the base of the center stack and in front of the shifter. The first switch activates the emergency lights, the second switch is for traction control, the third switch heats the steering wheel, and the fourth switch controls the drive mode. Four drive modes are offered — comfort, snow/mud, sport, and track.…
