I have to agree, even the smallest, lightest car at 80 would do more than that.

 

This is what mine looked like when hit at about 60.

That is probably a given, but where did you see the picture, or are you just calling a troll out on this post?

There is no freaking way that is what she’s calling 80mph.

 

That’s probably about the amount damage that would happen if prime lawrence taylor was trying to tackle you truck.

I’ve had two airbags deployed on me.

 

once going 35mph in a yukon denali and a drunk in the passenger seat grabbed the wheel and ran it into a tree

 

once driving like an ass in a 400hp civic taking a turn to hard I hit a 4x4 post.

 

The civic airbag deployed with extremely little damage to vehicle. Not a lick of injury or pain.

Denali bag deployed also, not a lick of injury or pain.

 

To the OP, yes I’m pretty damn sure your airbag should have deployed. If it’s fast enough to **** your truck up it should have deployed.

 

At the same time, I doubt the front collision is the one that caused the neck pain.

 

Your choice to own a modern full size pickup just saved your life, thats for sure.

 

congrats on surviving

 

In every GM vehicle i have owned, airbags do not deploy in a rear end collision. Your head and back hit the seat back and headrest first, then the seat belt tensioner pulls in the slack, once the body forward motion and momentum starts again the seatbelt stops the forward movement. In this case you typically end up with a case of whiplash to the passengers.

Just because the vehicle hit the vehicle in front doesnt deploy the airbags either. Airbag deployment from a front in collision requires a certain forward speed to be met and for the front airbag inertia sensor to trip the airbag deployment.

Even though the OP was a standstill and was hit at 80mph and push forward into the vehicle in front of him that doesnt mean his vehicle reached the acceleration and speed needed for the front airbags to deploy. The deployment speed was changed years ago when a lady sued a vehicle manufacture when she hit a curb head on at 5mph and the front airbags deployed, her son or grandson was killed from the front airbag deployment. That is when the manufactures changes the airbag deployment speed to vary depending on the speed of the vehicle, adding to where the airbags wont deploy if the front seat passenger cant trip the seat weight sensor, and changed how fast the vehicle had to be moving for forward for the front airbags to deploy.

Unless some new changes have been made, there are no sensors in the rear of a vehicle to tell the airbag to deploy. Your back and neck will hurt regardless if the airbag had deployed or not. As previously mentioned, airbag deployment when the front of the vehicle has struck something depends on a number of factors that the sensors and computers calculate. You likely did not meet the parameters for deployment.

 

Looking at the pictures of your accident, I would say that you were hit at the most 30mph and that comes from pics shown by EMS when they transport patients to the ER to be check out. I am curious as to why your engine is shot as I didn't see a picture of the front end.

 

Glad you made it out ok.

Long story but a police chase caused a direct hit of the suspects car into the front drivers side at an estimated 60 mph this past weekend, I was at a dead stop. No airbags deployed, hoping this is totaled, appears the frame is bent as all gaps around doors in both sides look off,  is this normal for airbags not to deploy?  Of course driver had no insurance, no license and non registered vehicle,    I will say, he is probably real sorry he hit me vs a Prius,  truck took one for the family.  We are all soar, but happy to be still standing.

Doesn’t look like he didn’t hit that hard, like it was at an angle. 
 

getting a full on tbone at 60mph by a prius would crumple that front end like it was paper

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I understand. It is disturbing to think a manufacture asks so much and gives so little in engineering support. This is not a GM issues, this is a greed issue and one the ALL practice.    My intent was not to remove the wind from anyone's sail but rather to point out the areas deficient so that they can be discussed with improvements the goal. But to do that you have to know the truth and what that truth is.    The commercial interest are honed in on a few select issues in which they control all the variables and are not forthcoming in the least with their customers about the details. Failure is the only thing that drives these people to improvement. One way not to fail it to manage public "expectations". The set a bar they can clear and put their thumbs under the suspenders with chest puffed.... Only the internal data tells the story fully. As we don't have access to that for decades then we have to generate it ourselves. UOA's with data that matters.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I had skimmed through that article when you posted the link and honestly I felt rather defeated in a sense and realized that all these years in changing oil that in fact putting in what I was told was a good quality oil was probably not filtered as well as it should be although the filter put on the engine would be what ( as long as it never went into bypass mode ) would be the final filtering of the new oil that the engine components would first see, but then the filtering media itself is not up to par to what is ideal because a full flow filter would be too restrictive to filter fine enough for the engines best outcome in the long run. Only one of our tractors over the years which was a Versatile with a 855 Cummins had a separate bypass filter, some engine manufacturers did spec a partial bypass system within the main oil filter but I don't believe any other trucks or equipment I was servicing used such a filter. No doubt a product like the Amsoil bypass system is of benefit as long as nothing goes sideways with the extra plumbing and filter such as a rupture/leak that could cause the oil to pump out of the engine ( yes that Versatile had a remote canister with hoses routed to it as well ). With the idiot egr system on a diesel and as a result forcing a lot more soot into the oil, that certainly isn't helping the diesel engines cause or as you pointed out the GDI engine issue with creating more soot and aside from having a fancy secondary filtering system, changing the oil more often helping lower the total soot load.     So oil manufacturing and the end product is not something one can control and I wonder if there are specs on what various oil packaging companies produce in particle count or size. As to the filtering, if the OEM is not designing a filter size and spec that is really what it could be, they too are short changing the end user and so what is the answer. Of course as you say the oil side can only do so much if the air side isn't keeping up its end of the picture and air filters are only so efficient and if in a dusty environment such as farm or construction or driving gravel roads there is a lot of dirt to filter out and some of that ends up into the air stream.    Of course the irony in places like where I am where they dump the salt on the highways but also will mix in some calcium or outright pure calcium for problem road area's, or using calcium as dust control on gravel roads, the vehicle that gets used in that environment may rust out before a properly engineered engine and maintenance finally wears out so one has to face that reality in the rust belt.

      Oil Change

      By Erfar · Posted

      have you stuck with dealer oil changes since then? I made the same switch after getting tired of crawling around under the truck, but I’ve found some dealers are way better than others about getting you in quickly. Curious if yours has been good about scheduling or if you’ve had to look elsewhere for quicker turnaround.

      Can anyone decode a VIN to determine if this truck has had emissions issues or a recall?

      By cherryred21duramax · Posted

      Thank you.   I am set on a 3.0 Duramax as my previous truck with a Ford Ecoboost had just as many, if not more, "common" issues.  Cam phasers, timing chain issues, 10-speed valve body and CDF drum, emissions issues, etc.  So I figured, why not get 2x the fuel mileage (these things got 27+mpg on every mixed city/highway test drive I put them through) and better towing capability with resale value to boot?   My minimum, shortest trip will be 50 miles 1-way and I regularly go out of state with a travel trailer.  I'm planning on using this for a marketing/event promotion business also, which would require regular towing of trailers for bands, DJs, sound and lighting gear, along with my personal camera gear for filming events.   Looked at other trucks in the $30k+ price range but the issues seem to be everywhere, plus too many with gaudy mods.  I'm literally sticking with RWD trucks because they tend to be actually used as trucks, vs. the 4x4 models I've seen with unsafe lifts, huge tires, and general mods that would affect reliability (I'm wondering if some of them were tuned, hence the aggressive throttle response and hard shifting).   So my goal is to find a stock, 3.0 with 1 or 2 owners, in good physical condition, and decently well maintained.  Can't seem to find that up here, everything in the $27-30k range has had multiple owners, smoke smell, issues, or body damage.  Or the ridiculously modified trucks with 80k miles for under $27k but lots of problems...
