Abstract: A measuring tool is designed to measure the relationship between an inner hub land and an outer land for a valve body. A locating face engages the inner hub land such that the measurements are taken with respect to the inner hub land. A probe is designed to engage the outer land. By rotating the valve body, the entire circumference of the outer land can be measured in relation to the inner hub land.

Abstract: The top mount of a strut assembly is capable of being orientated in various positions to accommodate various locations in a vehicle. An orientation device includes a top mount fixture which engages the top mount of the strut assembly. The top mount fixture is positioned within upper tooling and the top mount and top mount fixture are rotated in a first direction until a blocking stop on the upper tooling is engaged. The top mount and the top mount fixture are rotated in the opposite direction until a position stop on the upper tooling is engaged to properly orientate the top mount. Additional position stops can be added to the upper tooling to define additional orientations for the top mount.

Abstract: A method of joining components of an exhaust system comprises obtaining a first pipe with a first end and inserting a second end of a second pipe within the first end of the first pipe to provide a length of overlapped first and second pipes. The method includes radially inwardly deforming the overlapped first and second pipes into pressed engagement with one another to define a pipe joint.

Abstract: An exhaust system comprises a first exhaust pipe having a first aperture, a second exhaust pipe having a second aperture and a bridge mechanically and fluidically interconnecting the first and second exhaust pipes. The bridge includes a first plate including a first curved portion sealingly fixed to an outer surface of the first exhaust pipe. The bridge includes a second plate including a second curved portion sealingly fixed to an outer surface of the second exhaust. The first and second plates each include first and second coupling tubes including first and second frustoconical portions to funnel exhaust from the first exhaust pipe toward the second exhaust pipe and vice versa. The first plate is sealingly coupled to the second plate.

Abstract: A damper having a pressure tube, a piston, and a hydraulic compression stop assembly. The piston is arranged in sliding engagement inside the pressure tube. The piston divides the pressure tube into a first working chamber and a second working chamber and the piston is coupled to a piston rod that extends through the first working chamber. The hydraulic compression stop assembly is positioned in the second working chamber. The hydraulic compression stop assembly includes a sleeve, a plunger, a biasing member, and a pressure relief valve. The plunger is arranged in sliding engagement with the sleeve and can therefore move between an extended position and a retracted position. The biasing member biases the plunger towards the extended position and the pressure relief valve relieves excessive fluid pressure inside the hydraulic compression stop assembly.

Abstract: An exhaust control system for a vehicle includes a temperature sensor positioned downstream of an exhaust burner and upstream of an SCR catalyst in an exhaust system. The temperature sensor is configured to generate a measurement signal indicative a temperature of exhaust flowing through the exhaust system at an outlet of a DPF positioned downstream of the exhaust burner. An exhaust control module is configured to turn the exhaust burner on to heat the exhaust, monitor the temperature of the exhaust based on the measurement signal, subsequent to turning the exhaust burner on, turn the exhaust burner off based on an upper threshold temperature of the exhaust, and, subsequent to turning the exhaust burner off, turn the exhaust burner on based on a lower threshold temperature of the exhaust. The lower threshold temperature is less than the upper threshold temperature.
