Perhaps the most impressive advances in the automotive industry today are the safety features that are made possible by smart technology. Ford's 2018 Transit Connect is a good example of how these technologies have enhanced the cargo class of vehicles.

The Transit Connect features Ford's AdvanceTrac system with Roll Stability Control. This system uses a pair of gyroscopes to track the vehicle's yaw and roll and responds to help the driver maintain control during sharp turns. It also monitors wheel slip, understeering, and oversteering to help handle slippery roads.

The latest winner of the pony-car race is the new 2018 Ford Mustang. With better handling, sexier styling, and all-new performance packages, there is a lot to love about the latest trims and offers from Ford.

A car engine block is one of those car problems that could mean you buy a new engine if it’s not dealt with and that can be quite an expense. As such, it is of the essence to know how to flush a car engine from your garage to save yourself some money going to a dealership for that service.

The first step is removing the lower radiator hose and ensuring the draining coolant is collected in a bucket. Secondly, flush the system out using a water hose after once you’ve removed the top radiator hose out of…

If you have a multi-powered axle vehicle, then you have a transfer case. It is found in all-wheel drive and four-wheel drive vehicles. It is the part that's responsible for transferring power from the transmission to the axles, using drive shafts.
