BLACK BOX (crash data retrieval)
Is there a Black box on my truck?
The black box records the final conditions of the vehicle (throttle position, RPM,speed etc...).
I have heard of some chevy vehicles that have them.
I dont think there is one on my truck.
Thanks,

There's a computer that controls things but not a black box, those are in airplanes and record flight data.
Primary rig is Green Thunder:
95' F-150 XLT 4x4, 302, 5 spd, MSD 6A, Flowmaster Exhaust, Sunroof, Clear corners w/ Diamond headlights, CD player with 2 10" subs and some 32" BFG Muds
.
Thats it for now, saving for a stang. Check out my Gallery for a look-see.

Acutally the newer vehicle's have them. I believe that the 2003 Crown Vic Police Package is comming out with it. I know there are some Chevy's that already have it. I can see insurance companies drooling over this idea!!!!!!!!!

haha, good thing they dont have those on my vehicle 
, haha, but honestly, i have never gone more than 5 mph over the speedlimit (it may help that my spedometer is 5mph slow, whenever i drive on any main street, I go 5 miles over the normal speed on my spedometer and i am going the normal speed or a tad slower)
