It goes without saying that computers have become a huge part of nearly everything we do. For trucks specifically, computer-controlled devices have made engine management more advanced than early hot rodders could ever imagine.

Owners of the Ram truck with the ISB 6.7L Cummins engine have been blessed with a factory exhaust brake from the beginning. This exhaust brake uses the variable geometry turbo on these engines to increase back pressure and thus improve engine braking, when the OEM unit is engaged.

The LS swap craze is in full swing, and with more and more of these later model engines becoming available it's become the go-to engine package. While most enthusiasts of the mid-century GM truck builds, and even some non-GM truck enthusiasts, focus on this engine package, many overlook the additional products that make this swap such a success.

For the 2015 model year, you can expect to see more diesel-powered cars for sale in the US than ever before. Diesels are fast becoming mainstream vehicles in the minds of consumers. Diesel engines get better mileage than comparable gas engines, 30-percent by some estimations.

The Air Mass Meter is a very helpful device in making it so. This device, which is also referred to as the air flow meter, measures the mass of the air coming inside the engine. Air mass is air having exact temperature and moisture. The meter measures this and sends the gathered information to the engine computer or ECU, which uses it to determine the right amount of fuel to be delivered for combustion. Having an efficiently-working Air Mass Meter has its own advantages. One is that it allows a more efficient combustion process for improved emissions. Car owners are more than able to meet the law's requirements on vehicle emission limits. Another advantage is that it helps the engine stay in shape for a longer period of time. The Air Mass Meter is a plastic tube that is attached to the vehicle's fuel injection system. The air that passes through this meter is almost always filled with harmful elements. That is why regular inspection of this part is always a must.

With its relatively quick acceleration, the drive of the 2011 Elantra Touring is more spirited than one would expect from its 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. Its European heritage is apparent both around-town and on the highway thanks to its well-tuned suspension, responsive steering, tight turning radius and surprisingly quiet cabin.

The 2011 Ford Escape is a compact crossover SUV with an attractive design, oodles of high-tech goodies, lively engines and top-notch crash safety ratings. In addition to its popular looks and overall capable driving demeanor, Ford's exceptional hands-free Sync system (operates your cell phone, iPod/MP3 player and the optional navigation system via voice controls) is also available in the Escape.

The 2011 Mazda 3 has a higher level of road manners and overall refinement than one would normally expect in this price range. With its top-of-the-class handling, well-equipped cabin, strong 2.5-liter engine and extensive luxury feature availablity, the new Mazda 3 is definitely worthy of serious consideration for those interested in an affordable hatchback or sedan. \n

In the super competitive midsize family sedan segment, the 2011 Chevrolet Malibu remains a popular pick thanks to its nice balance of ride comfort and handling, stylish and well-equipped interior, user-friendly features, solid crash test ratings and choice of either a strong V6 engine or a capable four-cylinder that's good at the pump.

The 2010 Range Rover represents a mid-generation touch-up for the model, but when looking at all the new features, you'd think this was the next generation. There is a ridiculously powerful engine under the hood, a host of refinements to make the vehicle smoother on the highways and city roads, and also a bunch of new technological advancements that make the new Rover perfectly suitable for a rocky, debris-strewn mountain pass.

The 2011 Mitsubishi Lancer is a compact sedan that can offer a higher level of driving excitement without breaking the bank. With its strong-engined GTS and Ralliart trims, capable handling, edgy looks, and solid crash test scores, the Lancer is a sporty alternative to economy sedans.

As a compact economy car with a small and fuel-efficient engine as a priority, driving performance will vary depending on the transmission. The 5-speed manual produces a drive that is surprisingly spirited, while the 4-speed automatic gets better highway gas mileage but is less lively. While overall handling is adequate but uninspired, it can be upgraded via the sport-tuned suspension on the SE.

The old and the new. The tired 7.3L goes off to find a new life as parts and the new engine awaits first smoke and a new life behind the Blue Oval. We'll show you more details on the Cummins engine itself in a future installment.
