Almost got t-boned by an idiot salt truck plow thing.. He ran a stop sign going about 20 over the 30 mph speed limit in town and flew right in front of me into my lane... Had I been a second faster I would probably be dead.. This is why I stick to back roads.. And to top it off the cop didn't pass through until he was gone 3 seconds later I guarantee had I done that he woulda been right there... Ugh so over winter

43 miles of I-75 this morning, everyone forgot they live in Michigan HOLY bad drivers!! Yeah I am over winter too. I like the snow but not the women on their cell phones telling everyone how bad the roads are while blocking the 2 lanes that have been cleared

We lost a good ball player and great young man in iowa this way twenty years ago. Plow exited I80 and t-boned his car. Not guilty of anything because his yellow lights were on. Whatever. Chris Street RIP.

Last night I flew into Lansing and drove back home. The city streets nor 127 had been touched. Trying to get to the highway was maddening- idiots doing literally 5 MPH in the middle of two lanes. All I can say is it is a good thing it was late because I got creative with my choice of lanes. :lol:

Nobody can make it down our back roads unless they have trucks so I stick to them you're literally by yourself so you can do whatever and there's no salt trucks while the

Main roads are littered with idiots scared to death of snow even though they live in Michigan and retarded plow truck drivers then think they're in tanks

I don't think Lansing has back roads. Where I live does but I have little reason to to down them.

The dog jumped in my truck when I was closing the gate. He has had this treat for over 4 hours and all he does is carry it around

He is the best dog for it. He sits in the seat, doesn't care about the window, all he cares about is that he is riding in the truck. What's wrong with him in the cab?

 

 

My **** Jack Russell/Chihuahua mix rides in the cab too. But in the back and on the carpet

That one doesn't shed. He's a lazy bastard too. The most active he gets is when he sees that someone left their truck door open

      Road Master Active Suspension

      By GAMark · Posted

      Most 1 ton trucks come with the factory overload spring, which need to be removed for installation of RoadActive Suspension. Removing the overload allows proper fitment and ensures the system works as intended. The RAS® Mega-Duty kit will reduce squat and provide significant improvement vs the factory overload spring.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      I wonder as well, why they would send me a text message with links to these suggested procedures totalling over $10,000 without even the slightest hint of how they arrived at these being necessary.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      https://precisionlubrication.com/articles/oil-filter-efficiency/     For them it is a problem of $$$$ and compliance. To cover both they have to lie from the heart.    Government wants low waste oil numbers so the bar needs to be very low on contamination to met that requirement.  Consumer wants cheap maintenance (perceived cost). Again requiring a low bar.  OEM wants high margins at a cost effective warranty rate and lots of repeat customers. More low bar.  Filter manufacture wants the same thing the OEM wants. See the pattern?   Consumers are fickle and also want perfection requiring a HIGH bar. Inconsistent with all of the above. Consumers can be, when the put their minds to it, inquisitive, love winning arguments which requires some useful information to be available to support them. And this is where it gets sticky and the lies begin.    Information needs a solid well grounded point of reference if we are to compare in a useful way. There is a standard for this.  ISO 4548-12. This standard sets the particle size at a specific Beta ratio and darn few are faithful to its intent.    If they don't state the test method they change the particle size or the Beta ratio to hit a perceived favorable standard. They obscure the information in a way as to prevent direct comparisons leaving the consumer with one method. UOA's with an ISO 4406 test result. Pricey and not allot of labs willing to do the work. Lobby work happens everywhere, not just at the seat of government.

      IF,IF,IF. If they cared about quality instead of profit and this applies to any company, what a concept.

      2001 GMC Sierra - Banging feeling in steering wheel

      By Christopher Miller · Posted

      Good Morning Gents..hope everyone is enjoying a beautiful saturday morning. I have a 2001 GMC Sierra that I bought used in 2018. I am the 2nd owner and its a beautiful truck. Ive put about 60,000 miles on it and recently the front end has felt funny. Kind of loose when hitting bumps adn sometimes I actually feel a "bang" in the steering wheel. I took it to a local guy who said that everything was tight and he tightened the steering box. It didnt feel much better, so I had him replace the front shocks, which had noto been done since I bought it. It had the check enging light on so I took it into a local garage to fix that and check out the suspension. Everything is original and the rubber bushings that I can see look bad. They said everything was tight and there wasnt any play in the front end. Im concerned about the banging feeling in the wheel. Ive been driving this truck for 8 years, so I know how it usually feels and this is something new. Its a second vehicle, so I dont drive it all the time, but Im trying to use it more often. I live out in the country and some of the  roads are kind of rough and I alive on gravel roads. Anyone deal with anything like this before?
