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?

      Exhaust Question

      By C. Hart · Posted

      I have seen different people in different places post different sizes of exhaust as stock for my 2014 Sierra L83. Some say 2.5 some say 2.75. I am considering replacing the muffler with a Dynomax Super Turbo, perhaps 17739.  I had the factory L83 5.3 replaced with another L83 5.3 from Jasper Engines. I also put new Walker Cat / Y pipe on. I would appreciate opinions suggestions about what would be a good muffler setup. My main interest is a low rumble and the best flow / fuel mileage I can get. Not interested in straight through glass packs or loud exhaust. Those days are way behind me now.  Thanks Guys.

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By newdude · Posted

      Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB 20-NA-166 -  20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"     I'd say its the head, and its either leaking at the casting line and dripping down the intake into the cylinder, or its another spot on the casting itself at the cylinder that is getting wet.

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.

      Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!

      This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!
