I rarely use it, and mainly it is just when people cause me to brake when I am on the highway when they are merging on and speed up to get ahead and then slow down to slower than I was traveling.

I use mine very rarely. I leave an "out" anytime I am behind anybody - and I go around a LOT of people, but I don't give them the satisfaction of a horn or finger... just me flying by.

I only use it to get people's attention. Usually when people drift into my lane, or dont move when the light turns green. Most of the time its due to texting and not paying attention while driving. I also like to honk when Im driving next to people and I can see them texting on the freeway. Sometimes it scares the hell out of them and they start paying attention to actually driving.

 

Hell Im only 26, and most people my age cant seem to get by without their phones for 30 seconds. THe younger they are the worse it seems to be. Im a firm opponent of cell phones having more than one feature. Its a phone people, its used for making phone calls. There is no need for constant interaction with other people. You are not going to be forgotten that easily. Hell wen I got my first cell phone in HS I was only allowed to used it in emercency situations. I think that anyone caught using a cell phone while driving should have their license suspended for 6 months and have to repeat their drivers safety course, and have to take a defensive driving course.

 

Can you tell that people using cell phones on the road pisses me off.

Mostly use it just to get people moving when the light turns green. So many people are messing with the radio, phone or whatever and wait too damn long to go. Some lights in the surrounding towns are stupidly short, even for the primary road and it drives me up the wall when people don't just go when it turns green.

enough. iv been starting to use it when i pass people on the right though. i get pissed when im in the left lane and someone is in front of me not passing anybody and wont move over- or if im coming up behind and they move over in front of me and impeded my driving.

 

at night i'll throw all my lights on instead.

      Trading 7.3 (Godzilla) for G.M.C gas

      It is a company truck. Not under warranty. Both companies I’m involved with usually buy trucks that are discounted when looking. Except what the owners drive. Being retired and minority owner. I don’t drive a company truck. If they have the new GM gas engine it would be in a service truck.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Update!   Had the dealer look at the issue. First tech says no problem?? I said there was no voltage on the brake terminal on the 7 pin connector! He said he did not know what pin I was talking about. So they bring out a seasoned tech and I explain to him. He attaches a VOM and has me push the brake, and sees no voltage!!    Tom, the seasoned guy says lets go back to my service bay and look closer. We discover thru his on line system that the controller is a "smart controller" as it needs to detect a trailer connected before the brake voltage is allowed to the 7 pin connector!!! He also showed me a GM bulletin stating some trailers with LED lights have such low resistance the controller wont recognize them!!! I was thinking WTF, but thanked him for bringing me back into the service bay and explaining this all to me. He also plugged in a trailer simulator and it showed the brake controller was indeed working.   After my dealership visit I hooked up to an older camper with standard 1157 lights and the truck did connect and the electric brakes worked great!    Not to sure what I have to do with the equipment trailer with LED lights, I cant tow it with no brakes.   Why did something so simple for many years have to get so complicated!

      Do find out as that would be interesting if they have been using any L8T engines or for that matter have been running any of the Ford gas 7.3 to see how they have been panning out.    I assume your nephews engine replacement was on his dime as the regular warranty would have long past unless he had some form of extended warranty that covered such events. That shows though and may depend on the year of the build that failures are occurring with the valve train well beyond the warranty distance and more than likely so will others have that sneak up on them.

      I realize this is an old post and its probably been talked about since then on this forum and I may have mentioned it myself but the Chev multi flex tailgate on the HD trucks are all aluminum so there is that one item that I am aware of on a current GM HD truck that is aluminum but if its the standard tailgate then its still a steel unit as far as I am aware to current 2026 model year.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am surprised it didn't pop back up some just in time for the end of school/summer holidays and July 4th time period. Here in Alberta it hit its low coming off the high back a week before the end of June or so and has been creeping back up some and would equate roughly to around 20 cents per gallon increase. Of course there are various factors and one is the games they typically play with wanting to capture that holiday vehicle movement but also our government directly causing our Canadian dollar to drop ( a polite way of explaining the real picture ) causing our prices to go up rather than continue down like it should have, and even though we are sitting on the crude.
