The GMT530 chassis consolidated multiple product lines; along with the 1980-1989 Kodiak/TopKick, the model line replaced the medium-duty C/K (along with the heavy-duty GMC Brigadier). After producing the second-generation B-series chassis through 1991, GM skipped the 1992 model year entirely, with the first GMT530 bus chassis marked as 1993 ...
A special Kodiak C4500 was introduced at the 2006 Chicago Auto Show. Aimed at the International RXT (also introduced there), pricing was set at $70,000. The two shared a number of similarities, such as the options included in their premium packages (a powerful audio system and DVD-based navigation system). In comparison, the C4500 had higher ...
[9] [35] [36] The steering system is a variable-ratio recirculating ball steering gear; hydraulic power assist was optional. On all pickup trucks, the model line was fitted with front self-adjusting disc brakes and rear finned drum brakes. Power-assisted brakes were optional, with either four-wheel hydraulic Hydra-Boost or Vacuum-Boost power ...
Following the 1987 exit of GM from heavy-truck production, the Kodiak/TopKick became the largest vehicles produced by the company. Offered as both a Class 6–8 truck and as a cowled bus chassis, the GMT530 chassis was offered with the big-block 6.0 L, 7.0 L, and 7.4 L gasoline V8s (developed for commercial use); these were replaced by the 8.1 ...
The steering linkage which connects the steering gearbox to the front wheels consists of a number of rods. These rods are connected with a socket arrangement similar to a ball joint, called a tie rod end, allowing the linkage to move back and forth freely so that the steering effort will not interfere with the vehicles up-and-down motion as the ...
Quadrasteer is the name of a four wheel steering system developed by Delphi Automotive while under the ownership of General Motors for use in automobiles. It was available as an option on GM's full-size pickup trucks and 2500 Suburbans for model years 2002 through 2005. [1] The system enables the vehicle to turn tighter. It was initially a ...
The steering pivot points [clarification needed] are joined by a rigid bar called the tie rod, which can also be part of the steering mechanism, in the form of a rack and pinion for instance. With perfect Ackermann, at any angle of steering, the centre point of all of the circles traced by all wheels will lie at a common point.
A cross-drive steering transmission is a transmission, used in tracked vehicles to allow precise and energy-efficient steering. It consists of the following main parts: two identical single-stage planetary gearings, a differential, a hydraulic pump connected to the engine (similar to an oil pump of cars), a hydraulic motor powered by the ...
