So who wants to test shifting into reverse while driving? ;)

 

did it on my 2005 on accident and the truck shut off and the trans just went to neutral lol.

This mod would be nice to check out hotties in a car behind you at a light... lol

 

I guess... if they are laying on the ground behind your truck... in that case, shouldn't you get out and help?

The wife and I just picked up new trucks, mine a 19 LD and hers a 19 Colorado.  On the Colorado you can activate the camera while driving.  There's an icon on the display, just tap it and viola, you can see behind while you're driving.  The dealer told me on my LD that I could do the same thing but there's no camera icon on the display like there is on the Colorado, and so far haven't been able to figure out how to make it work.  You'd think if the Colorado does it then the Silverado would as well?  I too would like to view behind while towing as an example and you'd think this would be a standard thing.  I read online that there may be a setting in the 'driver assist' settings to use the backup camera while driving forward.  I'll do some additional investigating and see what I come up with.

Yes, you sure can!

You can send your HMI off to WAMS (www.WhiteAutoandMedia.com) to get Unlocked.

Then, pickup my Reverse Camera Adapter Harness here.

I wish I could figure out a switch mod for this myself. Reason us I live in boonies and sometimes I reverse into garage and super dark outside, the camera blinds me and makes it hard for me to see my mirrors. You never want to completely be relying on camera to reverse vehicles. I am a retired 18wheeler driver. Mirrors are my best friends.

That’s how you can supposedly do it in a Tacoma.  I always thought that it was someone trying to get someone else to drop their transmission in the middle of the highway.

There’s a mod already to dim the screen even further.  I’m doing that mod on my truck this weekend, since I received my de-pining tools Monday.

No kidding? Is there a thread on here that explains this in detail?

      The rotor couldn't be turned so I replaced it. Installed new pads on both sides and called it a day.   Peace

      I've tried everything and still have the rattle.  My next thing to eliminate is the seatbelt connection on the real pillar.  The cover seems loose and could be the source.  I found one of my grandsons video games in the back seat rest compartment   and had a glimmer of joy, but that wasn't it.  I'll keep trying.

      I'm tangentially aware of what Harley used to be, back in my riding days, although I was into Italian sport bikes. Ducati seems to have gone the other way; still very expensive, but they've made a large subset of their bikes a lot more reliable and accessible, and they've diversified their lineup to include other riding sports too. IMO, a good example of where greed and growth might have also been beneficial to the consumer.   Although GM is charging a relative premium for its most popular pickups, I find that there are some excellent value propositions in its lineup as well.   The Colorado still strikes me as the most attractive midsize on the market, and also the most reasonably priced given capability and features. There's a part of me that wishes I would have bought one instead of my Silverado.   The Equinox ...I must be getting old. The ICE equinox is a great design IMO. Probably because it reminds me visually of an actual SUV aka an S Blazer. Underneath it's nothing even remotely close, but it LOOKS good. It's got all the modern features plus some at a very reasonable price. If I had to run out and buy myself a daily commuter to do everything except tow, an Equinox would be on my list.   It does bug me that mid-tier 1500's reach into the 50-60k range, and Tahoes and Burbs are even more expensive. Less than 10 years ago, dealers were sitting on rows of Tahoe LS and LT's for low 40's. You could even still find Tahoes with a front bench, still!

      Big oil is raking in billions from the Iran war. Can it avoid Trump’s fury?   Remember I said Big Oil is 'Vertically Integrated"?   Even as they no longer own the majority of the "Pump" they still own the "Well". Crude price upward pressure does not translate into that same pressure on production. Pumping cost remain unaffected and the gap is pure profit. Even after subtraction of a minor, comparatively, lower amount from supposed, but not always, realized refining volume. Consumers hate war, Big Oil, not so much.
