Here are some more information for Silverado Radio:
The current slang used for texting, instant messaging, and emailing may seem like gibberish to an outsider. However, it isn't all that foreign when you look back at the history of trucking communications. Just three decades ago, the CB (citizens' band radio) reached a popularity craze to be reckoned with, while changing the truck driving industry-and pop culture-forever. And just like now, these terms were hybrids of the cool speak of the day, before finding their way into daily usage.
The CB was designed in the mid-40s for the purpose of getting emergency messages across. Truckers took this methodology and ran with it, alerting other drivers about road hazards, police traps (especially essential when the oil crisis of 1973 gave way to a 55-mph speed limit nationwide), and just generally keeping each other awake and engaged during long hauls. Many of these terms have become legendary thanks to campy films like "Convoy" and "Smokey and The Bandit." Furthermore, it's uncanny how many of these terms are reminiscent of animals-even more than just the occasional road kill (or "road pizza" on CB). Here's a rundown of core CB terms that can also be found on the farm.
Only you can prevent forest fires (or spot a police officer). Perhaps the most celebrated of all CB slang are the terms "Smokey" or "bear," which come directly from "Smokey Bear," our forest fire-fighting friend. From his emergence in the mid-40s on, the Smokey Bear persona and similar uniform has been linked to highway patrol officers, making the terms synonymous with the police. That spawned other endearing terms like "bear's lair" for a police station, "bear in the air" for police aircraft, and "bear taking pictures" for those officers regulating with radar.
Life from behind the rearview mirror. "Donkey" is used to describe the area directly behind the truck-often a blind spot for the driver. If the hauler is a tow truck, then the magical term "dragon wagon" is appropriate, while "pigtail" describes the trailer's electrical connection when hooked up to a tractor.
Man's best friend is often found on the road. The sturdiest of dogs is celebrated with the use of "bull dog" for a Mack truck (no doubt a nod towards its hood ornament). By using the term "bird dog," the CB talker is describing a radar detector that "fetches" police signals.
Alligators aren't just in the swamps. The term "alligator" or "gator" describes leftover tire tread found on the roadway. It's an obvious term in that tread tends to look like alligator skin, and peels off much in the same way reptiles molt. Likewise, "alligator bait" means several pieces of tire, while "baby alligator" refers to a small piece. It's an important alert, because driving over tire pieces can damage the underbelly of a truck or even passing cars.
A nod toward our feathered friends. The term "chicken coop" is used in the description of a weigh station, often shortened to "coop." "Chicken hauler" literally refers to a truck carrying chickens, and also to a souped-up truck that is embellished with lots of shiny chrome and lights (also called "chicken lights").
So next time you're headed down the highway, channel a bit of the CB poetry: Breaker Rubber Duck! There's a bear on your donkey, and a bull dog to your right. Alligator bait is ahead and a chicken coop is in site. Over and out, good buddy.
With all of today's technology, it's easy to look back at the CB craze as an outdated means of communication. But there is no doubt that the interwoven slang made an impression on not only the trucking industry, but also pop culture as a whole, much like IM, email, and SMS speak is doing right now.

Oresnik's Chevy Truck Passes Million-mile Mark
Frank Oresnik's Chevy truck dubbed ‘old girl’ recently passed the one million-mile mark thanks to an engine built in Flint.
"This engine is a real marvel," Oresnik said in a telephone interview with The Flint Journal. "It keeps this truck going and going. I'm a complete booster of the job your men and women did on my engine."
Officials at General Motors Corp. said the engine in Oresnik's Chevy Silverado was manufactured at the former Flint V-8 Engine Plant off Van Slyke Road, which ceased production in 1999 and was demolished a year thereafter.
The durability of the engine is not surprising to V-8 workers. Actually, some of them are still building said engines at Flint Engine South, a plant situated on the same General Motors property. "They were good engines," UAW Local 659 shop chairman Joe Ledford said of the V-8 that powered Oresnik's truck. "That's all we've ever done is build engines."
Oresnik has been in the news for quite a while now. He hit the one million-mile milestone in southeastern Wisconsin with a National Public Radio audience listening in and a camera crew filming. "I can't tell you how much fun it was," Oresnik noted. "It was really humbling, all this interest."
Oresnik passed the million-mile mark Feb. 8 in southeastern Wisconsin while on his way back home to Catawba, located in Price County, about an hour west of Rhinelander, reported MLive. "I won't say it was relief ... it was exhilarating," he said later during a stop in Gresham. "This truck has been so dependable over the years."
Oresnik said there has been some interested in General Motors or Shell Oil buying the truck. But he said he has interest in taking a roadtrip to Michigan and meeting workers who built the engine in Flint as well as those who assembled his truck in Pontiac.
John Crabtree, Flint Engine South's plant manager, said in an e-mail that Oresnik would not be disappointed if he visited some of the "greatest engine building talent in the world today."
"I was extremely proud to be the plant manager of the V-8 plant," Crabtree concluded. "Whether we're talking about the eight cylinders that we built then, the world-class six cylinders that the same workforce makes today, or any engine that GM needs for tomorrow. ...This is just another reminder that our Flint South team is always up to the challenge.”

what do i need to install a aftermarket radio in a 2002 silverado 1500 hd crew cab?
i want to replace the radio in it and i need to know do i need a bypass module for it to get power and will it affect any security features i know i need a wire harness, radio dash kit and a antennae adapter, and does any one know how to remove the speakers in the doors.
no onstar and what is a can bus that these people are talking about no steering wheel controls like vol up and down
Not really a bypass module, that is more for alarms, but there is a large CanBus that you need to buy, which usually arn't cheap. BestBuy and Circuit City usually sell them for about $140-$120, but I believe you can still get them from WalMart for about $80. Just let them know you have an 02 Chevy, and they'll know what you are looking for. Should say "For 01-03 GMC Vehicles Without OnStar". As far as the install kit and antenna adaptor, those are both standard GM. The dash kit will be a 95+ GM Multi Kit, and the antenna will be the GM Antenna Adaptor, both should run anywhere from $10-$20 at most stores.
In case you are wondering whether you can not use the CanBus and just wire it in yourself, you can, but it is not legal, and there are some safety features in your vehicle that will no longer function :-
I'm assuming for a 02 you don't have OnStar, but if you would like to keep your steering wheel controls, there is a seperate kit you will need. The steering wheel control module will actually depend on the stereo that is being put in there, but you can check the peripherals website to find the module you will need for your stereo. I will warn you though, steering wheel control mods are not for the faint of heart. If you havn't worked with 12v electronics before, I would recommend taking it to a shop to have the work done, because I have seen SOOOOO many people blow their airbags because they forgot to disable SRS before they started in on the job.
**A canbus is basicly a small part of a larger computer network built into your car (lamin's terms), instead of having full ECUs built in to each component in your car, they build in CanBus modules which run off a central ECU, (or several different ECUs depending on the car). The CanBus comunicates with the ECU, in the case of the stereo, to give you warning charms regarding various vehicle sensors, vehicle speed for road noise concellation, and other features.
