    Manual Driving 101: How (And When) To Use The Neutral Gear (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The neutral (N) gear in a manual transmission vehicle is not exactly a gear like first (1), second (2), third (3), or reverse (R). Placing the shift lever in neutral means the transmission is not engaged in any gear, as if the clutch pedal was fully depressed. You're not going to use neutral often in any car, but it's important to know when shifting into neutral can help. With a stick shift vehicle, you'll want to follow similar guidelines to using neutral in an automatic transmission car. Neutr

    Why Semi Trucks Need Different Types Of Tires For Each Position - Jalopnik (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The differences between tires for cars and semi trucks go beyond size, construction, and load capacity. Car owners have it easier since sedans, crossovers, and pickup trucks don't need specialized sets of tires for steering duties and power delivery. Meanwhile, tire blowouts are among the top causes of fatal semi truck crashes, and an optimal tire setup is a non-negotiable on a 70,000-pound long-haul machine. That's why, unlike modern cars that require sets of all-season, high-performance, or su

    Here's How To Tell If Your Tires Were Made In America - Jalopnik (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    You can tell a lot about a tire by looking closer at the sidewall. The numbers and letters printed on the rubber tell you the size, width, load index, and speed rating of a tire. There are also pairs of numbers that can tell when the tire was made, making it easier to discern whether a tire is too old or unfit for service. The manufacturing date is part of the DOT tire identification number. To the left of the four-digit manufacturing date is the DOT tire code, and the numbers or letters after t

    Here's How Much The 2021 Mazda 6 Has Depreciated In 5 Years - Jalopnik (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The Mazda 6 was a sharper-driving alternative to typical sedans such as the Camry or Accord. When it launched with its extensively redesigned body and updated SkyActiv technology in 2014, Mazda offered the 184-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic with paddle shifters. Edmunds praised the responsive gas engine, precise steering feel, and agile handling, but it came at the expense of a wooden, overly stiff ride. The Mazda 6 gained some tech upd

    Signs You Have A Faulty Wheel Speed Sensor (And What To Do About It) - Jalopnik (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Some people call it a wheel speed sensor, while others call it the anti-lock brake (ABS) sensor. They're both right, since the wheel speed sensor mainly feeds data to the ABS module to prevent the wheels from locking when braking. It also sends wheel speed data to the vehicle ECU and traction control system. Those systems need to know how fast the wheels are spinning to monitor braking, inform the driver of the vehicle speed, and for the traction control to work and stop you from crashing. With
