During an advanced emergency vehicle operator class we were taught that if you are being tailgated you should reduce your speed due to the fact that any sudden braking you may need to do may be met with the vehicle behind you pushing you and increasing your braking distance. As a general rule I...

Around here that load would have likely been on a trailer with no brakes or working lights.

I drive according to the traffic laws and let other lose their minds, I dont speed up because someone is tailgating and I dont cut people short on the freeway changing lanes just because someone behind me is impatient. I can only drive my vehicle, let the others give themselves ulcers.

I lemon lawed a truck in 96. I had it in 17 times for seat repairs and the seat kept coming unlatched and shifting. Instead of just putting a new seat in the truck GM bought it back. I saw it a couple months later in my hometown and I would bet $100 it still had the same crap seat in it.

There was no golden age of the big three caring more than they do now, Its much the same as its always been. There are technical assistance resources available to the dealers but they have to operate within a model that GM has created that in my opinion is counter productive.

Its likely the only system thats complex enough to do a diag on it is at the assembly plant. I am certain that isnt going to happen. GM has a big issue with repair training and infrastructure for these complex electronic diagnostics. They have outrun their ability to support these units once...

I am glad it worked out for you. Its also a common failure to have the tubing corrode in the system and have that wipe out the compressor. The repair guy convinced me the first time out that it was worth the $900 to replace the "warrantied" compressor. After 2 compressors and a total of 5...

It goes deeper than the compressor being a pile. Do yourself a favor GON and scrap it and buy a new one. Ultimately it wont be worth the trouble to attempt a repair on this giant piece of dung. I went through this with LG last year, they know they have a major issue and are doing damage control...

80 is about the average for construction zones around here. For most Texans I have encountered thats just above idle.

They may not run many of that model and thats the hold up. By the time any info goes through the dealer they have added their spin to it so who really knows whats going on.

@SHOZ is correct. I typically remove the screw during my first tire rotation on a new vehicle and coat the screw with anti seize before reinstalling it. Never had an issue after that. If the OEM's cared they would buy those screw with a coating so I wouldnt have to do that. After one winters...

I think a lot depends on the departments culture. Everything is recorded now, not much wiggle room in a video.

I have had luck disassembling some of mine and cleaning them.

I used to do a lot of handyman type work as a side hustle back when I was younger. We all had side jobs at the FD. Nowadays no one works side jobs and its all but impossible to find anyone to do random stuff.

Every time he posts a new video I wait a few hours and come to BITOG just for fun.

Woodward is far too congested to make a left lane law practical. Although the left lane campers are a pain I think the aggressive drivers are way more of a hazard. Of course I have towed a 36ft trailer through Atlanta dozens of times so nothing would shock me.

Cue the group of barely post pubescent goofs all yelling OOOOOOHHHHHHHH as it hits the dirt.
