  • Window Tint Denver Colorado: Why It’s Important For Your Car To Have Tinted Windows

    Window Tint Denver Colorado: Why It’s Important For Your Car To Have Tinted Windows

    A car can improve the quality of your life. Aside from taking you from one location to another, owning a car can also compensate for the lack of public transportation in a specific area and respond to any medical emergencies. While a car is already useful as is, are you aware that certain upgrades can even boost its functionality?

    Paying for window tint Denver or local contractors that provide the same service is a great investment. Having your car windows tinted is cost-effective as it provides a long list of benefits. High-quality and properly installed car tints can improve the safety and comfort of the occupants of the car.

    To paint a clearer picture, listed below are the reasons why it’s actually important to have your car windows tinted:

    1.         Blocks Harmful UV Rays

    Sunlight can provide several benefits to the human body. For one, sunlight can improve a person’s mood, productivity, and energy levels. Sunlight is also a good source of vitamin E, which is a vital nutrient for your immune system, skin, and eyes. Moderate sun exposure is good, but going overboard can also lead to risks.

    One of the biggest reasons why car tints are important is because it actually blocks up to 99% of the sun’s ultraviolet rays. UV rays are a form of radiation that can significantly damage the skin. Excessive exposure to the sun’s UV rays can lead to dark and sagging skin and even skin cancer.

    The ability of your car tints to block UV rays is vital, especially if you usually drive in the middle of the day or if you live in a sunny city, like Denver. Since Denver experiences over 245 sunny days every year, having window cars tinted should be considered as a necessity.

    2.         Reduces Heat Inside Your Car

    Aside from protecting your skin from excessive sun exposure, car tints can also help with solar heat rejection. Car tints can actually make the inside of your car feel cooler, saving your AC unit from exerting too much effort, especially during warm and summer days.

    This works because your car tints do not absorb the heat from the sun’s rays and transmit it inside your car. Instead, car tints keep the heat out and release it back into the air. Because of this, you’ll be able to enjoy a cooler temperature inside your car regardless of how warm or humid it is outside.

    3.         Protects Your Upholstery

    Your car’s upholstery affects its price. Choosing the best materials for your car seats will usually require you to pay a large amount of money. And if you want to enjoy your car’s upholstery for years, have professionals tint your car’s windows as soon as possible.

    The sun’s harmful rays don’t only affect your skin and your car’s temperature; it can also influence the lifespan of your car’s upholstery. When your interior upholstery is always exposed to heat, it won’t be long before it develops cracks, fading, and discoloration. Once this happens, your car’s interiors will look old.

    You can always choose to have your car’s upholstery replaced, but doing this will require costs. It’ll be challenging for you to retain your car’s original interiors if the materials used for its upholstery aren’t sold by the dealership. You’ll end up buying materials from other sources that can contrast with your car’s overall aesthetics.

    4.         Increases Privacy

    While some people want the world to know that they own a car, others fear of being stared at because of a medical condition called scopophobia. If you belong to the latter, you’ll likely stay on the side of the road to avoid other drivers and pedestrians look at you. It’ll be hard for you to focus on the road or concentrate on your driving if your phobia is triggered. Choose to have your car windows tinted so you won’t have to worry about your privacy anymore.

    Aside from managing your phobia, car tints can also keep you safe from a robber’s radar. Robbers will be motivated to commit theft if they know what is inside the car; the prize they can earn from their act basically serves as their motivating factor. So if they can’t see anything inside your car, they won’t have any reason to steal from you.

    Make Sound Decisions

    For you to end up using the best car tint, do a little research on the types of car tints and the pros and cons of each. It’s also essential to know if your state has any laws and regulations on car tints for you to avoid having any legal repercussions. And most importantly, only entrust experienced and established car tinting shops in your area.

    Being a smart buyer ensures that you’ll get the most out of your investment – and in this case, it’s your car tints!

  • The Definitive Guide to F-150 EcoBoost Downpipes

    The Definitive Guide to F-150 EcoBoost Downpipes

    Everything You Need to Know About EcoBoost F-150 Downpipes

    PAOLI, Pa. (October 30th, 2019) – The potential to make big power with Ford’s F-150 EcoBoost is like any turbo-equipped vehicle. Improving exhaust flow, making it breathe easier and more efficiently, will yield increased horsepower and torque throughout the power curve.

    For those unaware, the downpipe is a part of a truck’s exhaust system connecting the exhaust manifold to the catalytic converter. Factory downpipes are the crux of turbocharged F-150s, bottlenecking exhaust flow which leads to increased resistance throughout the system. Replacing the factory downpipe of an EcoBoost F-150 will allow turbos to spool more freely as well as help relieve exhaust backpressure. All these benefits provide the potential to produce more boost!

    To inform EcoBoost owners everywhere on the uncapped potential of their trucks, the writers at AmericanTrucks (AT) have compiled their definitive F-150 EcoBoost Downpipes technical guide. Equipped with video, animated infographics, and everything from how large of a downpipe should I buy to how does a downpipe work with aftermarket exhausts; AT’s definitive F-150 downpipe tech guide has all the down and dirty facts.

  • The importance of a defensive driving course for truck drivers

    The importance of a defensive driving course for truck drivers

    Compared to any other workers of a particular occupation, commercial truck drivers are more vulnerable to nonfatal injuries. Severe strains and sprains are most common of them. Besides, they experience soreness, bruises, fractures, cuts and wounds, and trauma. If you are soon going to join duty as a truck driver, then you must not take your profession lightly and go fully prepared for the service. Doing a defensive driving course for safety training from a reputable driving school Coquitlam can prove advantageous for you. How? Let’s assess its significance from different angles.

    Reasons why you should take a truck driving training

    Nearly 5,000 fatalities occur in commercial motor vehicle driving, of which 14% of cases belong to truck occupants. Of over 1,20,000 CMV-related accidents, 20% of injuries happen to truck drivers. Also, the rate of death among truck drivers on duty tends to be higher than anywhere else or in any other occupation. Over 650 drivers become a victim of death, forming nearly 12% of all kinds of deaths occurring at a workplace.

    Although truck drivers go through nonfatal injuries, with most of them facing severe strains and sprains or minor bruises, etc., it makes sense to be safe than sorry. By going through training, you not only protect yourself or the vehicle but also the lives of other people who can fall prey to an accident due to a mistake from your end. A comprehensive course can teach you multiple things. Here is a quick glimpse of it.

    • You would become comfortable with brake, steering, engine parts, controls, and gauges.
    • You will get the information on working principles relevant to a truck driving industry.
    • Your knowledge about safety will increase.
    • You would learn to dodge accidents and violations through defensive driving methods and safe maneuvers.
    • You can avoid fatalities, injuries, and property damage.
    • You would get an insight into how stress and tiredness can affect your truck driving skills.
    • You will be able to inspect and maintain your vehicle with ease.
    • You will get an idea about things that can come in handy during unfavorable driving conditions.
    • You will learn what you should in an emergency.
    • Your professional skills will get recognition.

    As such, the benefits are endless. If you want to have a safe driving experience and a secure career too, then consider enrolling in a relevant course. These training programs can hone your driving talent, show you the right way to deal with psychological factors, and much more. However, make sure the driving school you select specializes in this domain and has many years of experience too. You can do a bit of background research before joining their course to avoid any unwanted surprises later on. In Coquitlam, you will get many options for truck driving lessons. Hence, you should not worry about the choice.

    Run a Google search or ask your family and friends for a reference. Suggestions from these sources can help you select the right school quickly.

    Justin Dugan Reviews the 2020 GT500

    2020 Ford Shelby Mustang GT500 Official Review – Hot Lap

    Las Vegas, NV. (October 29, 2019) – In this episode of AmericanMuscle’s (AM) Hot Lap YouTube Series, host Justin Dugan visits Shelby’s Heritage Center in Las Vegas, Nevada to review and drag race the all-new 2020 GT500. After months of speculation and salivating over specifications, Justin jumps behind the wheel of Ford’s new halo pony car on the street, road course and drag strip to provide his expert take on the next generation of Ford Performance.

    “The confidence this car inspires is really out of this world. As an ‘average’ road course driver, I left my 5 laps feeling like Billy Johnson! Same can be said for the drag strip portion- we saw journalists who never drag raced once in their lives conquer the quarter mile with ease and most importantly, drama free despite having 760-hp on tap.” –Justin Dugan

    Reciting the facts of GT500 life in between shrieks of enjoyment, Justin discusses powertrain improvements, thanks to its 2.65-liter Eaton supercharger-equipped 5.2-liter cross-plane Predator V8 pushing 760-hp at 7300 rpm and 625 lb-ft of torque at 5000 rpm. The exclusive 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission developed in conjunction with Tremec, while disappointing to some Mustang purists, helps propel the new GT500 to 60MPH in 3.3 seconds and through the quarter mile at 10.7 seconds. Advancements in aerodynamics, braking, and cooling efficiency are addressed and cited by Justin to conclude why this is the fastest and most powerful production Mustang to date!

    First Data 500 at Martinsville Speedway rundown

    Martin Truex, Jr. won Sunday’s First Data 500 at Martinsville Speedway and now won three of the seven 2019 Playoff races and secured a spot in the Championship 4. While driving the No. 19 Toyota Camry, Truex finally conquered the half-mile and led 464 laps while doing so.

    “I can’t believe we just won Martinsville, man. Miami is awesome, but we’ve wanted to win here for a long time, but the guys have worked so hard, I’ve worked so hard. I used to just be terrible here, and just an awesome bunch of guys. What can I say, Auto Owners, Bass Pro, TRD, everybody back at the shop, brand new race car, and again, it still wants to keep going.” Truex said.

    This win is the seventh win of the season, ninth career Playoff victory and his 26th career win for Truex.

    Truex in unsure if being locked into the championship 4 is good.

    “I’ll let you know in three weeks. I really don’t know. We’ve never done it this way. We’ve always pointed our way in through the third round. This is the first time we’ve won at one of these tracks, so I mean, they still give out trophies and money the next two weeks, we’re going to go after them.” Truex said.

    William Bryon ran great all day and contended for the win late in the race.

    “Our car bounced a little bit on the short run, which was tough to kind of get around, but overall it was a really good day. This isn’t a place that I’ve loved coming to, and it just clicked this weekend. The things we did with the car going into qualifying and then obviously our race. So, I’m super excited, but second is not super fun either. So, we’ll try to get one spot better next time.” Bryon said.

    Denny Hamlin and Joey Logano had a discussion about contact late in the race and then a fight broke out on pit road after the race and the crews had to protect their drivers.

    Speaking of protecting, check your systems protection from antivirus problems keep your system safe from hackers and attackers.
    The antiviruses have great features to keep your system protected.

    “I got close off of Turn 4 and it looks like we got together and it looks like collateral damage. He blew a tire. I mean, he would probably say, oh, short track racing.”

    “We were having a discussion and everything was civil and then like Joey (Logano) does, he gives a little push and runs away. That’s Joey. I mean he said ‘you want to go?’ I said ‘yes, I’m here,’ but then he runs away.” Hamlin added.

    “I got fenced down the straightaway and just went to talk about it. I was a little frustrated by the situation and I went down to talk to him and didn’t really get the answers I was looking for.” Logano said.

    Ryan Blaney has a great day and finished fifth.

    “We were in the top five all day and I thought we had a good shot at second. We weren’t good on short runs. We were terrible for probably 30-40 laps and then we’d come alive and be great, but just didn’t have the speed.”

    Chase Elliott had an engine failure in practice and a mechanical issue on Lap 183 and finished 36th

    “Just disappointing for a day like that. We know better and we can do better than that.”

  • F-150 Oil Separators Tested and Explained

    F-150 Oil Separators Tested and Explained

    Does Your F-150 Need a Catch Can?

    PAOLI, Pa. (October 24th, 2019) – In this episode of AmericanTrucks’ (AT) ‘What’s Up With That?’ YouTube Series, Justin Dugan performs a continuous effectiveness test on oil separators using his 2017 F-150 Raptor. An oil separator, sometimes referred to as a ‘catch can’, is installed in-line with a vehicle’s positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system to trap blow-by. Since forced-induction engines are prone to blow-by, where increased cylinder pressures force oil past the piston rings into the engine’s crankcase, an oil separator is beneficial in capturing oily vapors to prevent coking on intake valves. Catch cans can be extremely useful in maintaining and safeguarding direct injected engines which lack supplemental port injection, such as the 2011-2014 3.5L EcoBoost as well as 2015-2017 2.7L (Nano) EcoBoost.

    “This might be my favorite ‘Whats Up With That’ to date. I’m really proud of this episode and along with the hard work our video team put into the graphics to help tell the story of what blow by is along with how the PCV system functions.” –Justin Dugan

    In this video, Justin explains ‘Blow-by’, as well as the history and significance of PCV systems, using a series of animated graphics. After diving into the construction and operation of the JLT V3.0 oil separator, Justin demonstrates how easy it is to install on his Gen 2 Raptor before performing a 4 weeklong, 2,000 mile test. Finally, Justin harks back to his high school science lab days, measuring the captured oily residue with use of a graduated cylinder.
