GM Gains, But Weaknesses Remain

It's a familiar storyline by now: General Motors is showing progress. Losses are receding. Cash burn is cooling down. GM even plans to ramp up faster payment of government loans. But profits still remain elusive.

Progress without profit was a common refrain when now-deposed Chairman and CEO Rick Wagoner ran the company. And CEO Frederick A. "Fritz" Henderson had similar news on Monday, Nov. 16, when GM released its first earnings statement since emerging from bankruptcy in July. The difference is that this time GM is closer to making money than it has been for years.

The company reported a $1.2 billion loss. Carve out restructuring costs of $505 million, interest payments of $250 million, and taxes of $135 million, and GM lost only $261 million, showing that the company's operations have improved. With its big debt load, though, GM will be shouldering interest payments for years.

Chevrolet Cavalier COOLING SYSTEM?

I apply a Prestone Radiator Flush the cooling system on my knight, I've done the procedure on my mother tercel 91 and everthing was nice, but...


Many do not have a radiator leak. You have to remove the bottom hose.

The best colors are two parts: a strong acid and a neutralizer. The flushing part are not as strong.

This week at the 2009 SEMA Show, Chevrolet is showing off five new Camaro concepts, one which is a race-ready, twin-turbocharged V6 from Jay Leno. The Jay Leno Camaro is one of the most radical looking Camaro concepts at SEMA this year.

The new car is powered by a a twin-turbocharged version of the 3.6L direct injected V6 (that comes standard on the Camaro LS and LT models) but the real power comes from a pair of Turbonetics T-3 turbochargers, force-feeding the engine about seven pounds of boost and lifting its horsepower level to about 425 hp. This means that the car has about 40% more power comparing it to the stock version.

Other mechanical changes made to the car include include a larger-capacity Be-Kool radiator and a custom exhaust system, as well as a Centerforce-supplied clutch and pressure plate for the six-speed manual transmission. It also has Brembo six-piston brake package, Pedders coil-over lowering kit, New front fascia with custom fog lamps and integral brake cooling vents and Air extractor-style hood.

The Jay Leno Camaro
Powered by a twin-turbocharged version of the 3.6L direct injected V-6 that is standard in Camaro LS and LT models, Leno's Camaro blends high performance with surprising efficiency in a racing-ready package. A pair of Turbonetics T-3 turbochargers blows through a custom air-to-air intercooler, force-feeding the engine about seven pounds of boost and lifting its horsepower level to about 425. That's about 40 percent greater than stock and in normal driving (when the turbochargers aren't making boost), there's virtually no penalty in fuel economy over the non-turbocharged 3.6L engine.

“Jay's Camaro offers style, performance and efficiency in a big way,” said Dewar. “It delivers the power of a Camaro SS on demand, but with the fuel economy of a V-6.”
