Shit happens... Just 2 weeks ago I was driving on a major highway in the fast lane.. 2 cars Infront, one car behind me. All going the same exact speed of about 82-83 mph in a 55... Cop was hiding in the woods and pulled out after we all passed. All 4 cars in the line got in the right lane a dropped it down to 60. Cop comes up and only pulls ME over... Get 2 points and a 250 dollar ticket but I'm going to court to argue. I'll pay the money and not take any points if that's what it comes down to.

That "certificate" in germany sounds like a buncha government bs to me...

Well, not quiet.

Isn't it in our all interest to have safe cars on the road? Sure there are existing laws.

But people have less and less self-reflection and sense of responsibility.

And what one has to pay for the safety check in Germany is way cheaper than a ticket or a life.

 

so long

I'll just get Recon tails, but I prefer the stock lights but, darker. He was looking to get me since he said, he couldn't get to me last week or whatever. I know for a fact, I wasn't doing 70, maybe 64 at the most. But, its whatever. My dad use to be a State Trooper for 20 years, he told me sounds like you got set-up.

 

Ehh oh well, I'll take everything off, show proof that I did. Then re tint my truck with 35% instead of 20% this time. But that's just some petty shit for my windshield strip barely over my ASI line, can't decide to leave it and pay the fine or just fix it.

Wow, it seems a lot of people in this thread are admitting to breaking the law, yet your mad when you get caught.

 

82 MPH in a 55 zone? I would have arrested you! 82 MPH is not safe no matter what, and it is especially unsafe when the posted limit is 55 MPH.

 

People do not seem to get it these days. The reason more and more laws have to be made, is because people will not stop breaking the ones we currently have. Start following the rules and you will notice your life will get a lot simpler, and a lot cheaper. There is no reason to be driving over 65 MPH at any time anyways, unless your hobby is to burn excess fuel for no good reason at all. Good luck ever stopping in an emergency if your doing 82 MPH. IF you survive, you will completely torn asunder by the legal system, and found automatically at fault.

 

Funny how I have over 1,000,000 miles of accident/ticket free long haul truck driving experience, and heavy hauling experience at that. I am only 26 years old. Yet people twice my age who are suppose to be "wise" can't seem to figure it out.

 

SLOW, DOWN!

I will refuse to go 65 when I drove on highways with 70, 75, and 80 MPH speed limits.

Around here, speed limit is 55mph.....stay to the right if you're doing the limit....leave that lane, and you'll get run over.....I travel along with 90% of the traffic at 70mph, and stay out of the way of others who want to go faster.....if I get stopped, and ticketed, my fault....worst was 140 in a 55 at 3am in the morning, boy did I get a lecture....cop even admitted if I did not hit the brakes (when I saw him on the side of the road), he never would of even puled out.

Think the most I've ever got was doing 45 in a 40mph zone. Got a ticket and had to go to traffic school to keep if off my record. Other was driving through OurKansas doing 80 in a 70 with traffic and he pulled me over even though he was looking for a tan truck, which he wrote TAN in the description, that was hauling ballz past all of us. Told him this was complete b.s. and talked with his supervisor when I got home. Paid the fine either way but no points taken and apology from the supposed officer. Other than that, usually keep it on the safe side cause I like money lol.

I got pulled over doing 74 in a 50 when we were trouble shooting the vibration on my first 14. The officer saw the tech and let us go with a warning. He said to take it to the highway lol. Sucks that the cop was a D*c*. Check eBay for stock takeoffs for taillights

      Silverado 4500-5500-6500 are they still being produced? Would have sold better as GMCs as well

      By C/K Man · Posted

      There was talk over the last couple of years that the contract to build these trucks between GM and International would not be renewed.  International moved production of all their other trucks besides the companion CV model out of the Springfield plant some time ago when they opened their San Antonio plant.  That left Springfield only building the Silverado Medium Duty, International CV Series, and some Express/Savanna long wheelbase cutaways.  International also put the plant up for sale some time ago.  This all answered my earlier question as to why GM and International did nothing with these trucks since they were introduced, as they had basically become a market 'placeholder' with a finite life.    The Silverado Medium Duty/International CV trucks were interesting combination of a GM powertrain, electrical system, and K2XX Silverado cab with an International chassis that was supposedly designed for a step-van type vehicle they never produced.  They were manufactured in International's Springfield plant along with the IH MV series initially.  When first introduced, there was much talk that the Silverado Medium Duty/CV would eventually get a gasoline engine option along with other upgrades and GM and IH would work on a class 6/7 joint venture truck.  This was before VW bought Navistar out, after that happened no more was said.  Draw your own conclusions...   About the time talk started that the GM/IH joint venture was not going to be renewed, rumors started that GM would develop a new line of medium duty trucks themselves.  The story is the new trucks will be part of the next generation HD's due in 2028, and will still feature a 'straight rail' chassis design that the current medium duty has.  GM views this as a desirable feature that differentiates their truck from the competition.  A gasoline engine option is also expected.  As the current Silverado Medium Duty remains in production until September 2026 and there is still a lot of inventory available do not expect any official word for some time.   I believe GM remains committed to their successful partnership with Isuzu, and all the LCF models will still be available from Chevy Commercial dealers.  Isuzu is on the cusp of opening a new large plant in South Carolina and there is also speculation that this may result in new product for both Isuzu and Chevy Commercial dealers.

      Software Update

      By nfisherman · Posted

      I have a 2026 2500 HD Ultimate. My phone app says there’s a software update available. It’s something about improved battery management and something to do with the running boards. I follow the instructions for the update but the “Check for Updates” option is greyed out in my settings menu. Has anyone else seen this? How did you resolve it? The help message just says “see your dealer” if the download doesn’t work. I’m just trying to save a trip.

      Exhaust Question

      By newdude · Posted

      Fuel mileage?  That's all how you use your right foot.  Exhaust will give you sound.   Stock exhaust 5.3 is 2.75" diameter piping.     If the truck is nice and worth putting some $$ into it, I'd go for a Corsa catback.  I had one on my 2019 old body 5.3 and it was just perfect.  Zero drone, just driving around and cruising on the highway you'd think it was stock, but when you opened it up it was like a Camaro with the factory dual mode.  Corsa bumps their catback to 3in diameter.
