what a way to start a day off   I didn't hear the news till this morning that Jam Master Jay of RUN DMC was shot and killed.

 

Another one of hip hop's pioneer's brought down way to soon...

 

This one hurts probably more than the others... I think if it wasn't for him and the guys of run dmc, hip hop wouldn't be where it's at today...

 

They brought many bands with them on the ride, they helped aerosmith get their career back on track.

I heard this morning too. Defintiely not something expected. It might just be me...but 2 Pac and Biggie dieing wasn't that much of a suprise. Their Lyrics and style kind of egged it on. But RUN DMC was all about rocking the mic. They never bashed people or made any contreaversial or disrespectful albums. It really is a shame..... I hope they catch the person that did it.

I know exaclty what you mean.  It's no secret here that I'm not a HipHop or Rap fan, but I used to like Rap.  I liked it when Run-DMC were big, before all the 2 Pac, Biggie, Snoop Dogg stuff.  When it wasn't about hating each other, it was about the music.

 

I always thought it was terrible what happened to those other guys, but I also thought they brout it on themselves, by publicly encouraging hate and violence.

 

This death is a terrible shock.  My heart goes out to the friends and family.  These guys seemed to me to be great artists.  This is a shame.   :)

Yes they were recording an album for their 20th Anniversary.  I think it was their 8th album.  He was shot in the studio by someone who was buzzed in.   :)

Well, the day after Jam Master Jay's death, MTV did an hour of Run-DMC's greatest hits. And I discovered that I like a lot of their stuff.

 

My favorites are Rock Box, and Tricky.

I remember liking the songs "My Adidas", "Mary, Mary", "Tricky", and their Christmas Song.

 

I think those titles are right, but I can't be sure it's been so long.  I wish I had seen that show.

      Tonneau cover that does not leak water

      By cherryred21duramax · Posted

      Thank you.  I really appreciate the well wishes.  I'm an engineer in the telecom industry, I know hardly anything about marketing.  Over the years I did some videos for nonprofits and web sites for small businesses and the seed was planted.  Agree with over-buying, I started shooting on an iPhone before I got my first DSLR and tripod.   I'm looking at trucks with potentially 150,000+ miles to keep the cost of entry low while focusing on the client experience and equipment.  Good wireless mics for interviews, the right lenses & lighting to look professional.  But I don't want to be late or break down, the stress of emptying a trailer & securing a rental truck right before a gig would negate any savings from buying a junker.  So anything that leaks water, has extensive rust, or generally unreliable I'd like to avoid.   Does GM/Chevy overbuild these trucks for upfitting?  I talked to a local upfitter, they sometimes tie lights & other 12V into existing circuits, which I always thought was bad.  Which is why I enjoyed the AUX upfit switches on previous trucks (odd they mostly come with off-road or work truck packages).

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      By Atlas · Posted

      GM's are stainless and have a fairly robust powder coating, although, still not worth $850 in my opinion. They will hold up a lot better than their cheaper steel aftermarket counterparts.   What I like about the GM step bars is dealers will often equip their dealer stock with them. Lots of margin. Which means a lot of people end up buying them because they're already on the truck, even if they don't like them. So it's pretty easy to find brand new takeoffs with hardware on Marketplace and Craigslist for about $250.   That's what I did for my crew cab. I wanted ZR2 rock rails for the look, but with the ability to bolt up GM's assist step package. From GM it's about a $2500 accessory all in. The old folks in my life can't get in the truck without steps. I found the whole package on marketplace for $180.

      Forward collision and lane keep assist still a problem on 2022 refresh?

      By kr477 · Posted

      I am really glad I found this post and this site... We have a 2022 1500 refresh LTZ that has these problems: - forward collision avoidance warning light - lane keep assist unavailable - adaptive cruise control unavailable   The truck was bought as a new leftover in 2023, so it was still under the 3/36 B to B when it went in for these problems earlier this year. It has been at the dealer on and off now for about 110 days now. These are some of the things they have done that I can read on the service tickets. - replace/add ground straps (4) - check all battery cables and vlts - replace serial data gateway module - replace front view camera - numerous reprogramming - a few calibrations (apparently ending with 'learned') Last week when I had it back the truck had those 3 warnings every time we used it except for 3 times. On three separate occasions the truck started and ran perfectly with no (zero) warning messages or warning lights lit - everything worked perfectly. Over that same time period the truck did not work on every other 'key' cycle which I would estimate at 60+ cycles. On those estimated 57 cycles it had the same 3 problems each and every time.   It is back at the dealer now - can anyone help at all with what the true problem might be?  Or possibly what can be ruled out leaving a lower number of possibilities? Thank you very much for any help you may be able to supply....

      As for the step bars, friend did just that, bought some cheap ones and we are in Michigan and they turned to rust in less than a year.  In 3 yrs he had to replace one of them because they rusted out from the inside even though he kept after them cleaning and polishing etc. Had to drive 300 miles (to Chicago area) to find a reg cab wt, he ordered one and dealer never got it and with winter approaching (plow truck) he needed fo find one ASAP.  Furd dealer found him one but he choose to drive to get a GMC.    Just what you can expect with cheap stuff, LOW quality.
