I have the top to a "battery" that was used for electric cars and it is patented around 1897. I found it as we were laying a waterline beside a ancient service station in a small town.I had to run the patent numbers to see what it was. Apparently,you went to the station and they filled the vessel with acid. Then through two slots in the lid,metal contacts passed through and this is how the charge was made.These cars were used alot for taxis. Can't find a photo on google to show you what it is.

Cadillac had a engine back in the 80's that dropped cylinders as the car got up to speed,called cylinder deactivation or something,and it was a disaster.So what did they do,they relabeled it as active fuel management and put it in the chevy trucks.

Yep the Cadillac 8-6-4 engine. I think it was only 1981. Of course the new system is much more seamless cutting on or off compared to the caddy... But back then I believe it only deactivated the valves by loosening the rocker arms physically so they were prone to pushrods jumping out of whack. And they'd lean out the TBI system, which didn't really help with a wet flow manifold like a modern injection system.

The new ones are known to have lifter and cam issues, but at least they don't all drive like shit, LOL. The 8-6-4 only lasted a year.

Lol. My boss has an 09. No leaks. 4 qts every 5000 miles. My boss's son has an 06 GMC. It's actually burning so much oil I can smell it in the exhaust like an old Honda. His tailgate is dirtier than the back of my old tuned 6.0 ever was. I told them it's a shame my 2016 diesel has the cleanest tailpipe in the parking lot.

His didn't leak or smoke that I ever saw,it just used it.It was close to bein out of warranty and GM was sand bagging until it was up.
