Just saw in the Walgreens ad today that they are now selling the "Ding King", that as seen on TV DIY dent puller.  Has anyone tried it?  I'm tempted to, I have to small door dings in my front passenger door that have been there a while but I don't want to spend $150 to get them removed.  The Ding King is only 29.99 so I'm thinking of trying it, but I don't want to mess anything up or even try it if someone has had bad luck with it.  Anyone have any previous experience with it?

 

Thanks,

 

Joe

WEFs99-- Thats all I wanted to know.  I was more worried about it damaging my paint rather than not working, but that works to.  Think I'll pass!!

the local fox news (chicago) did a special on it.  They gave it to an autobody class at some school.  The results were good.  It takes multiple applications (basically do it 5 times appx) to remove the dent fully.  Only thing i didnt like was the glue residue left over you have to scrape off.  I am thinking of getting one to try out on my dads truck this spring

Hmmm...must of missed it Ryan, I don't recall seeing in on the news.  Might have to swing by Walgreens then and pick it up...don't like the sound of the glue residue to much though!

Some of the paintless dent removal guys use a tool similar to that.  Depending on the size of the piece you glue on, it should work well on most dents without creases.

The con man on late night TV (as seen on TV) smacks a hood (wide surface) with a rubber hammer and proceeds to pop it out successfully. That particular trick can be done with a bathroom plunger.  Body-shops do use similar devices but usually just prior to doing conventional body work.  The scam that really did have me wondering is the one where they wax a hood with some miraculous snake oil and set it on fire and the original paint is unharmed.  One of the major reputable wax/polish companies explained that the material burning on the hood for the short duration never gets the actual hood over dangerous temperatures strange as it my seem.

      The Peckish Synapse

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.
