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?

      Joke Thread

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      This video may not be the exact content for the joke thread but its a lot of laughs so here it is, I've only watched a portion of it so far but if anyone is looking for some light hearted good soap box driving action, its here. As a note in the upper left of the screen it shows the number out of 100 to refer back to any particular vehicle for comment !.    https://www.facebook.com/reel/1351928276956715

      2023 DRW Wheel Liners

      Did have to make 1 modification because of the WeatherTech rear mud flaps and that was needing 3 longer screws than what came with the install package. 😄

      Picked up the liners yesterday. Installed passenger side WITHOUT any modifications. All mounting holes lined up perfectly. Rain is interfering today with drivers side. Very Happy! Will add pics when finished

      OCI, not when but why?

      As a matter of amusement I’ll leave this conversation with this. Do you beat the government average fuel estimate? Statistics are a guide to me. Not a rule. Someone once said I have to have the last word. If true and possible may be. I’ll blame that on working in a family business.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a fair point, and I agree that trying to log “everything in the truck” would be the wrong direction.   There are a lot of modules and a lot of traffic. If the product became a full-truck datalogger, the amount of data would get huge very quickly, and most owners would never use it.   I think the first useful version would need to be narrow: - powertrain-side event evidence - selected high-value parameters - communication / voltage / reset events - pre/post event window - short report first, raw log only as backup   One distinction I should make is between active OBD/PID polling and passive bus capture. If you are polling PIDs through OBD, then yes: the more parameters you request, the lower the effective sample rate becomes, and you are adding diagnostic traffic to a vehicle that is already busy running itself. With passive CAN capture, the recorder is not asking all the modules for data. It is listening to traffic that is already on the bus. So it does not consume vehicle bus bandwidth in the same way that a scan tool polling hundreds of PIDs would. But your point still applies in a different way.   Even if passive capture does not add bus traffic, the recorder still has limits: - processing rate - storage rate - timestamp accuracy - decoder workload - event filtering - report size - user attention span   So the answer cannot be “log everything and let the user figure it out.” The product would need to store enough raw evidence to be useful, but only decode, graph, and present the important parts around the event.   A practical report should probably show: - what triggered the capture - how much pre/post data was preserved - which selected parameters changed - how those values compared to baseline - whether the same pattern happened before - whether any voltage, reset, bus-off, lost-message, or communication fault occurred - selected graphs around the event - raw data only as supporting evidence   So I agree with you. More data is not automatically better. The real product is the reduction from raw data into a useful event report.
