How I wish the speed limit here was 75 and not 55. Sure, that would be nice, but realistically the roads here are not good enough to warrant that high of a speed limit. The only road that is sometimes good enough for that is the Glenn Highway between Wasilla and Anchorage. It is not that some vehicles/drivers are not able to safely take the roads at those speeds, it is that not all/most vehicles can safely do so. And, regardless of what anyone thinks, driving the balance of the Parks Highway at 80 mph is not a safe speed - there are points along the highway where it is, but most of it is not. This is a 2-lane road with frequent turning traffic and limited sight distances - not a good place to set a 75 mph SL. Even 65 is excess at times, at that is the SL now... Where else might the SL be upped? Ah, the Richardson between Fairbanks and Eielson AFB! Sure, that could go up to 65. Silly that is it set at 55 as it is a fairly good "freeway" style road without limited sight distance. The problem with that road is the uncontrolled intersections. Oh, and the heavy fog it experiences in the winter months. Again, set the SL at 75 and the road would be full of incompetents driving 80, feeling on top of the world, with only 100ft visibility, and plowing into drivers going an appropriate 30-40 mph (or less) in those conditions. If drivers want to go 80, go for it. But setting a SL that high is asking for excess problems. Let those who want to go 80 on Alaska's narrow, poorly maintained, and frost-heaved roads take the risk upon themselves.

My 2003 3500 Dmax did the same thing last week. I took it into our hobby shop to work a separate hard starting issue and once the truck warmed up the gauges worked fine, haven't had that problem since,but the truck still doesn't want to start when it is colder than 0. I'm at Eielson and yep the great weather here is upon us. Anyone have any thoughts?

Hello all the Cavalier owners out here. I bought my 03 Cavalier and it came with 8000 miles. I bought it for 8 grand, not to bad. A little 5 speed. I recently jus got my muffler put on and I do gotta say that it sounds good. I plan on doing the whole chip to get rid of the limiter and go a little faster then 108. Also I recently purchased rims and its looking alot better. In the next couple of months i do plan to get a turbo kit for my car and get the horse power over 155. I also have a cold air intake in there and upgrading to a short ram Weapon R Dragon shotram intake. I plan to do alot more to it but first i gotta have the money. I alreay replaced all of the stock speakers and put in brand knew alpines in the front and back. Got the cd player installed and the whole sub amp and copasotor thing going. So I got the whole works goin good. Well no mechanical problems so far and i do take alot of care in the car. But thats all for now.
