Car Forum / Chevrolet / Chevrolet Trucks / August 2004Black Box Question
Our son has a 99 Silverado 5.3 Ext Cab. He had a meeting with an 18 wheeler that pushed him into a guard rail. No airbags deployed. That Silverado is one tough truck because he drove away with just considerable side damage. Will the repair facility access the black box and what information will be there? He has put approximately 1800 miles on the truck since the "accident". BTW, the trucker got a ticket. most likely not > Our son has a 99 Silverado 5.3 Ext Cab.

If the airbag was not deployed, the information is erased or written over after a few ignition cycles. You won't be able to retrieve it. Glad to hear the trucker got his ticket. |
