| A more economical suspension system can help raise profits |
|
With many consumers pinching pennies these days, it's getting more difficult to sell a traditional
suspension lift, along with a wheel and tire upgrade. The cost of a typical suspension lift could run into the
thousands of dollars. But there is an affordable alternative, called a body lift, which allows enthusiasts to raise
trucks as much as 6 inches.

| Getting the lowdown on suspension lowering for Corvettes |
|
Getting ground-hugging stance on a vehicle used to be a low-tech affair, sometimes consisting of
merely cutting a coil out of spring with a blowtorch. While this backyard procedure might have achieved the look,

have changed, and so have suspensions, especially on sophisticated sports cars like the Corvette.

| Tuning the chassis can solve the handling mystery |
|
Just as tuning your customer's engine can make a dramatic impact on performance, so too can tuning the
chassis. As an analogy, you could compare a car to a professional boxer. The level of conditioning needed to win in

that would involve properly setting up the suspension.

| Increasing truck fuel capacity can pay for itself |
|
We've seen some fairly broad swings in fuel prices over the last year or so. That simple fact alone
means there are several good reasons for increasing the fuel capacity of a diesel pickup. With a larger tank, a
customer can shop around for the best price on fuel, and saving a few extra cents per gallon can really add up over
time, even offsetting the cost of the tank.

| Examining crank/cam sensor errors and their diagnoses |
|
Engine need air, fuel and spark to start, and they must be correctly timed. But when either the crank
position sensor or the cam position sensor is lost, the ECM may shut down ignition, injection or both. But codes
typically set and extended cranking may be required. So understanding the relationship between the signals is as
important as the signals themselves.
