I went to the mall today was inside for about 2 hours if that, came out to see that someone had hit the back of my truck and pushed the bumper down about 3 inches and didnt leave a note or any information at all. Im not really happy about that at all. So now Im just thinkin about pulling the bumper off and putting a roll pan on. Just really sucks

That does suck man, I did the exact same thing years ago with my S-10. Unfortunately the next time some ahole hit me in the parking lot the it did even more damage. So I got the tailgate fixed took off the roll pan and got another bumper and it was hit a couple more times, but it was only the bumper.

Could be worse..... They could run off the road and take out a flower bed and fence.... hit a small Oak tree leave their DRIVERS LICENSE and then to your face say they did not hit your tree and have NOT BEEN on that road..

 

UH oops I forgot to tell ya your DON'T have your drivers licenses I DO... You dropped them, IN MY FLOWER BED.

 

OH yeah the prick was an auto insurance sales man...... I got revenge....... He paid... In court.. HEHEHE, and I got to watch him fix my fence and flower bed... :lol:

 

It took me 3 weeks to track him down. Mean time he had his car fixed... Which I had his head lamp, park lamp, and half his grill, and a HUGE chunk of his bumper...

What is wrong with people?? No respect! Some @$$ hit my wife's car right where the door meets the front fender. So when you opened the door it bent the fender. That's why I park away from anyone, or look for a corner parking spot and park wide giving the jerk next to me plenty of room to swing their doors open.

 

That dose suck.

sorry to hear that. two weeks after i bought my truck some dipshit hit it in a parking lot and drove off. put a nice dent in the side of the bed which i had to claim through insurance as a hit and run incident. people are just irresponsible. back when i was in college i backed into a car in a parking lot. even back then when i was irresponsible enough (and dumb enough) to get drunk and play with throwing knives, i was still courteous enough to leave a note. the older i get the more i lose faith in society.

Yeah, I know, some people! Some idiot ran into my rear bumper a couple years ago in the wal-mart parking lot and dented the side of it. It's still like that today. I was rear ended by a 2007 mustang GT almost a year ago now, and I still have the factory bumper. I would get a roll pan, I like how they look, but if someone hits you and you have a rollpan it's gonna screw up your bed and tailgate to. So I haven't got one and don't plan on getting one.

      primary drive belt tensioner

      By Deadwood · Posted

      I bought belts and pulleys for my '20 L5P at Rock Auto a couple years ago. I have used them for many years, and almost always save significant money, especially when I buy maintenance stuff ahead of time.   They carry many OEM parts, which is all I use unless an aftermarket is shown to be same/superior, or if it is an insignificant part or unavailable OEM part anywhere else. RA is usually lower priced, often by a bunch, but parts are sometimes unavailable or out of stock, and I do shop around and sometimes find better prices at other sites.   Be aware that you pay shipping, and if you buy multiple items and they are coming from different warehouses, the shipping can kill the advantage. Planning ahead is best if possible.   If you have a transmission service in the near future, check out their OEM (AC Delco ULV) fluid, usually MUCH less than anywhere else.

      10L1000 anyone with High Mileage ? I hate Damocles....

      By Deadwood · Posted

      New member here, very long time occasional guest. Saw this thread, thought it would be a good time to contribute someting. It is only my experience and not a claim that everyone will have the same.   I bought my '20 3500 L5P new and have put 99.9% (literally) of it's current ~400k miles on it myself, with over 50% of that towing loads between 4k to 15k, and to me this truck has been nothing short of amazing. For the first 235k I had zero issues, and from there until 321k I replaced a NOx sensor, two failing glow plugs, and three of the notorious injector connectors. I believe this truck is in part, a testament to good luck, but also good care and following a decent maintenance schedule (I also keep meticulous records.) As a result, it looks as good as a well cared for 70k rig, up and down, inside and out.   At some point before that 321k mile mark I began to get a little spooked about the 10L1000, especially the valve body. Word of mouth about potential issues prompted me to jump on the net to sift through all the noise and determine what all the fuss was about. I routinely take long trips, coast-to-coast and points in between, so roadside breakdowns can be '...a thousand miles from nowhere' and a bit of a challenge, and though I had no issues, my guard was up and activated.   And then I stumbled across a chance to salvage some parts off a new 2025 that had been wrecked in transport. I grabbed a few wear items (alternator, pulleys, etc.) and on a whim asked what the ten speeder would cost me. It was cheap...really cheap. I knew some changes had been made in the '24+ version 10L and were supposedly not compatible, but I called service/parts at my local Chevy dealer and asked why and they didn't know. A call to a well known aftermarket transmission outfit revealed it was very likely it would be fine, but to them not 100% sure.   Because it was cheap (really cheap) and I was spooked, I took the chance. Had it installed by a local shop and it worked like a champ, shifted just like the original. At it's first service at 37k, I had the shop put in a Next Gen valve body kit, which after some initial hiccups and rough shifts, smoothed out though with somewhat firmer shifting.   All that said, I have a very serious concern about my newer transmission as just two weeks ago it suddenly began to exhibit a strong reluctance to engage forward or reverse. It was a bit past due anyway so I took it in for service. The reason it was sticking was due to 'glitter' in the fluid clogging the filter...not good folks, often indicates a converter giving out. We ended up going ahead with the new filter and fluid, first to see if it would move and shift, and then if so buy me a little time. It did, and I've driven it over a thousand miles and it is shifting smooth, no noises or slipping. Regardless, it looks like a third gearbox is in my future so I can resume taking long trips with some confidence. In the very short term, my curiosity will have me examining the fluid to check how much glitter has reappeared.   An earlier poster had alleged, in the context of 10L100 failures, that it is another example of how we seasoned citizens somehow descend into hysteria, lose control of our senses, and react irrationally after brief encounters with the idiocy of the internet infosphere. Let me say (and I have used and abused said internet since it's infancy) there is no segment of the populace that has a corner on over-reaction to digital garbage. Just as my offering of experience in this arena is purely anecdotal and should not be considered gospel or all-encompassing, I believe it is still worthwhile information to consider, along with other relevant anecdotal experiences about things like complex transmissions, especially when balanced with other sources.   So to answer the original question, yes I got high miles out of my first 10L, trouble free for 321,000. Now I really wonder how much longer it would have went. Did I 'overreact' to the internet ghouls by replacing a 'good' one with a 'bad' one? Maybe. Who knows, the thing might have taken a puke a 100 miles later. So I'll just fix it again, then move on and start thinking about all the other stuff that will eventually wear out. It still has the original brakes (they're at ~60%), original injectors/pump, turbo, water pump, etc....pretty much original everything. Knock on wood.

      6 Speed vs 8 Speed

      By swathdiver · Posted

      At peak temperature.  They get to cool down and warm up more, especially those with the external cooler.  I have three GMT900s and one of them has over 225K on its original transmission.  Fluid gets changed about every 36K miles, all of it.     It's not the bean counters, it was the government.  They had to meet CAFE standards and other government requirements.   To get around that, we tune them and modify them to our liking.
