Previously called Bendix Global, the full line is now covered under the Bendix premium product umbrella to emphasize the high quality and OE-style design customers have come to know, says Sandra Natella, product marketing manager, Honeywell Friction Materials.

“We’re committed to providing our customers with a full line of competitively priced drums and rotors that meet the design specifications of original equipment manufacturer’s for fit, form and function,” said Natella. “We’re also positioned to continuously launch new models with a steadfast focus on being first-to-market.”

Bendix drums and rotors are designed and machined using CAD/CAM to ensure dimensional integrity, providing proper fit and function, and the castings are tested to SAE standards to check for proper strength and hardness, ensuring consistent performance. They come machined, balanced and ready to install, according to Honeywell.

Toyota’s original Land Cruiser was the company’s version of a Jeep that could go anywhere. In its time it was highly rated and collected, which led the Japanese juggernaut to bring back an updated SUV in 2007 called the FJ Cruiser. The retro-styled vehicle was again a go anywhere machine powered by a 4.0L V6 (1GR-FE) used in the Tacoma. The engines are durable and considered relatively robust for the time.

Diagnosing Intelligent Cooling Systems

The majority of cooling systems on the roads react to what is happening inside the combustion chamber. After the engine is stressed, the heat causes the thermostat to open. Increases in temperatures will also cause the cooling fans to come on. The heat carried by the coolant is the trigger for operation of the fans and thermostat.

Modern Cooling System Design: It’s Not About Temperature; It’s About Powertrain

Given the advanced state of internal combustion engine technology, some recent cooling system innovations will actually increase engine torque and fuel economy while reducing exhaust emissions. Let me simplify that idea: new cooling system technology will make engines run better and cleaner. So, let’s get on the same page by reviewing some basics.
