this is truly horrible.  after the truck crashed, the ex-husband shot the woman, killing her.  he then shot himself in the woods.  this is horrible.  it's just not fair that it has to end like this.  can you imagine being kidnapped, forced to run from police, then shot?   :D   :D   :)   :(

here is more info... apparently the victim had moved to NC from FL to get away from her kidnapper.  he also had the intent to kill or cause serious harm to her the whole time the chase was going on (she wasn't just an escape driver for him).

 

the police talked to them by cell phone for much of the chase.  unfourtuanately the kidnapper was not clamed or pursuaded to stop.  i wish the police had taken him out before he even made it out of raleigh.

 

it makes me so mad that this happened.  she tried so #### hard to save her life and the lives of those around her.  she tried to calm the man down, she tried to be as safe a driver as she could be.  she was a fighter, i wish that she could have lived.  now there are 3 kids with no mother.  :D   :angry:

Gunman Who Led Authorities On Two-State Chase Shoots Ex-Wife, Self

Domestic Incident Led To Chase Throughout Triangle Area, Va.

Kamal Wallace, Staff Writer

 

POSTED: 5:54 p.m. EDT September 23, 2002

UPDATED: 9:13 p.m. EDT September 23, 2002

 

RALEIGH, N.C. -- Authorities say a man killed his ex-wife and shot himself after leading authorities for hours on a high-speed chase throughout the Triangle area and Virginia.

 

 

 

 

Authorities say the incident began around 5 p.m. Monday on Glenwood Avenue in Raleigh when they received a domestic call. They say the man took his ex-wife and her children, ages 4 and 7, hostage with a gun.

However, authorities say the children were released early in the chase, where they were later taken to the hospital for observation.

 

The man then forced his ex-wife at gunpoint to drive around the Triangle area in a white pickup truck. The high-speed chase led authorities around the Beltline and later on I-40 West.

 

The vehicle later headed northbound on I-85 through Petersburg, Va., where authorities decided to use stop sticks.

 

Authorities said when the truck pulled off to the side of the road, the man shot his ex-wife and went into the woods where he later shot himself.

 

 

Authorities say the chase reached speeds of up to 90 miles per hour. At one point in the chase, the man and woman in the vehicle could be seen changing clothes.

 

 

Authorities say the man in the vehicle fired shots at police and other civilians.

 

 

Raleigh Police Capt. D.S. Overman said the couple had an ongoing, longtime dispute. He was unclear about led to the shootings and declined to release their names.

im still really pissed about this.  5 years ago Lourdes Gusman (the victim) left FL to get away from Roberto Campos.  yet he came after her.  that is 5 years the courts had to put that nut job in jail... 5 YEARS!  this should have never happened.  the courts need to do a better job of protecting people in this kind of abusive situation.

That is an awful story Paco. I feel so bad for those kids.

I have a sister who was kidnapped by her ex-boyfreind. He beat her up pretty good in front of her four year old daughter before they were caught.

      Brand new to this forum. Questions about re-gearing my 26’ HD

      By BDS my HD · Posted

      Hello hello looking forward to expanding my knowledge of the 2026 2500 HD that I just bought.   Truck has 3500 miles on it four-wheel-drive crew cab and I’m about to put a 6 1/2 inch BDS lift on it 18 x 10 -25 offset with 37’s   Already have the wheels and tires just waiting on the lift install in about three weeks   Question what surprises am I not gonna be happy with?  I’m not new to lifted trucks so I know that acceleration towing gas mileage all that is affected..   Question is those of you that have this truck this powertrain with a 10 speed Allison and have done the mods that I’m doing,,, how bad is it? Is that Allison constantly gonna be hunting for the right gear to go into? And what about towing, acceleration, fuel consumption as mentioned?    Lastly how come I can’t find any ring pinion gear set up for these axles and when could I expect to see them?   I apologize if there’s any typos I’m doing speech to text on my iPhone.

      2013 2500HD 6.0L intermittent no crank no start

      By linc45bn · Posted

      I've got a 2013 2500 6.0L Flexfuel. Drove the truck earlier today with no issues. Went to run an errand tonight and noticed key fob wouldn't work. Figured battery was dead, so replaced fob batter. Still wasn't working. Grabbed my other set of keys with the other fob and that one wasn't working either. So I manually unlock truck and insert key. Interior lights come on, dashboard lights up, turn key and truck starts. Turn truck off, like a moron, and try starting again. This time no crank, no click, no nothing. Lights still come on and dash lights up, but now I'm getting a service 4wheel drive, service tire monitor, etc. Check voltage on battery and Im showing 12.2v. Throw my battery charger on it and give it 15 mins and try starting again. But still no crank no start. Decide maybe its a bad battery, run to autozone grab a new one and put it in. Same issue. Disconnect battery and let it sit for 15 mins. Try again and still nothing. I had managed to roll the windows down earlier as its a humid night, but now I can't get them to roll up. Power locks are also not working now. Then randomly I try the key again, and it fires right up. Immediately I roll up the windows as we have nothing but rain forecast this week. I shut it back off wait 30 seconds and start up again. Worked a 2nd time. So turn it off, start putting things back together. Try one more time, and back to no crank no start. And now the car alarm starts going off. Had to disconnect battery and leave it that way for the night as I don't think my neighbors would appreciate my alarm going off again tonight. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

      GMC 1500 Illuminated Front Grill Emblem REPLACEMENT.

      By Peoplemvr · Posted

      Hi there.  Long time lurker, first post.    i have read the previous posts regarding the water ingress problem with this emblem.  I bought my 1500 SLT the  summer of 2025 new and after reading the MANY problems with these emblems failing I decided to install one anyways.  As per a YouTube video, I sealed ( or tried to) this sign with silicone sealant around the outer perimeter joint and the holes that were already somewhat sealed on the rear plate of the emblem.  And installed the connector assembly using dielectric grease on the connectors. The installation looked great and worked well for about 4 months……then FAILURE.  Grrrrrr…… I live in the great white north and wash my truck weekly in an automatic car wash  to keep the salt off.  Let me tell you that removing the old, failed emblem is a whole different animal than removing the OEM individual letters without removing the grill assembly. Mainly because the illuminated logo is built differently than the original letters which  you can remove the red surface lettering with a knife or some kind of blade which gives access to the tabs which hold the logo onto the grill. So I had to essentially destroyed the old emblem to remove it. Doing so killed my chance of doing somekind of autopsy on the failed , old logo.  But there was plenty of water inside when I ripped it apart.  Prior to installing the new assembly I tried it with the old harness and it works fine.   Does anyone have any insight as to where the water is getting into this emblem? I intend to seal the new logo with slow curing epoxy this time around using a syringe.  I think this newer emblem may be an updated unit which I hope GM got the vendor to fix. It has an October 2025 date on it.    If this one  fails,  I am just going to revert back to the non-illuminated letters….AFTER PULLING THE GRILL.    Any thoughts on sealing with epoxy would be appreciated. Thx!   Doug
