Newer compounds used to make rubber hoses have improved their lifecycle dramatically, but they haven’t changed the physics involved. Friction, pressure and heat still can cause component wear, even to ...

Truck engines are hellish environments, so overlooking belts and hoses is an invitation to disaster. Since good maintenance is no guarantee against premature failure, knowledgeable technicians know to ...

Making big power with today's high-performance parts is relatively easy. Just go online, choose the parts that match your performance target, andwait for the goodies to arrive. But after those extra ...

How hot does your engine run? Is it on the cool side? The hot side? Where should it be? How big of a radiator should you run? Antifreeze or water? Tap or distilled? Do you need a pressurized cooling ...

Meh, your 4x4’s cooling system is simple…as simple as fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, heat transfer, material properties, specific heat, ideal gas laws, and a few more aspects of physics can be.

When building a hot rod or street rod with a small-block Chevy, the cooling system is probably not the first thing you're thinking of. We'll go ahead and assume it's probably the same things we're ...
