Did This Really Happen?


Recommended Posts

So as some of you know i bought a black 07 crewcab z71 about 3 weeks ago. Well i love it. I drive everywhere just to be in my truck. WELL apparently someone thought they would customize it for me last night pics to follow When you look at the pics give me a guess of how much damage it will be and how much the insurance is gonna pay to fix it....001-1.jpg002-1.jpg003-1.jpg004.jpg006.jpg

Holy CRAP! Sorry man...I know that's not what you want to hear, but my jaw is on the floor right now and don't know what else to say.

 

Not even sure what it will cost. $8-12K for a dealer to get it looking like new again???

 

Looks like a nice neighborhood too...

P.S. Maybe the real question isn't "how much will it cost to fix it" but rather, "how much does a 40S&W Sig 226 cost?"...

Holy Sh*t :omg:

 

Why is it that people have no decency or respect for others' property? Some punk(s) with nothing better to do in the middle of the night were out gallivanting and making trouble. By God they're lucky that I didn't catch them in the act! :)

 

Sorry to see that man, just sickening...

 

Hope it gets fixed up for you, I have no idea how much that would cost to fix. Keep us posted.

Dude that sucks, Mutter fudders that do crap like that should be shot on sight. There is no excuse for that sort of BS.

 

 

I would guess more than 5K less then 10K. I supose it depends on rather the red paint or whatever that is can be removed from the body without hurting the black paint underneith.

 

Look at the interior situations as a way to get a nice leather upgrade at the expense of your insurance company. The leather interior kits I am sure will be less then the factory cloth appolstrie the insurance company will allow you credit for. So once you get it all fixed back and maybe better then before. I believe I would figure some way to park it in the garage, or move or something That just makes me sick seeing something like happen to someone .

that really sucks. I don't know why people think doing that kind of damage is fun or ok. it's just wrong wrong wrong.

 

I hope you make out ok with the insurance.

I count four visible Ford homes. Have you broken up with anyone lately? Begun dating someone you thought was single? I've worked vandalism calls a lot and generally there isn't this much damage unless someone is very angry.

 

Good luck either way.

Havent done anything new or extreme or anything. Been married for 2 years, No new girlfriends or hookers or anything like that. just had a kid about 6 weeks ago now. No cameras in the neighborhood ( there will be now tho). DOnt know if the alarm went off or not. I never heard anything and we were up most of the night. Except from 2am to 430 am. but when you have a newborn all you hear is them and youre in REM sleep the rest of the time because its so short lived.

    • This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.  
    • 2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.  
    • Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉
    • Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
