You can't own anything nice it seems like.

I was parked for maybe 10 mins came back outside and had thought I left my window down. Boy was i wrong, it looks as if they tried to pry the window out bent the door all to hell and scratched the mess out of it. They did all of this to find nothing but 7 dollars. A holes

I'm guessing I'll need a new door? The entire drivers side is scratchEd up. Will they repaint the entire truck on drivers side or patch it up? I'm super bummed.

 

Here she is in all her glory hopefully she'll look just as good after the repair. Should I ask about diminished value?

Awesome looking truck. It's a shame that people feel the need to steal what people worked hard for.

So sad to see that on any new vehicle, especially your beautiful truck which has been so tastefully upgraded.

Working in a body shop insurance will fix that door. It is not really bad. Being the scratches are in back of the front door and front of the back there is plenty of Room to blend the color out. You won't even know it was painted if the painter knows what he is doing. Inspect the seal if it had even a small knick make sure to point it out. Stuff like that can get missed and you deserve your truck back to spec.

I had an S-10 broken into years back they took my speakers and stereo nothing fancy. They busted or the rear window which pissed me of more than anything because the doors were open. I never locked it.

I never keep anything of value in my trucks. So i've always said its cheaper to keep the doors unlocked for this very reason. Crooks will do thousands of dollars worth of damage to find nothing or for a couple dollars in change.

 

With my luck, i'll have my doors unlocked and they won't even check the doors and still bust the window.

Sorry to hear about the break-in, Brother. More and more, everyday on the local news broadcasts, and in the morning papers, we hear about how many more F'ing douchebags are robbing people, stealing packages from homes, breaking into cars, etc.

 

I am so SICK of having to constantly be "on guard" just because I've got nice things!!!! This world is really getting out of balance, and sadly the common respect for ones fellow man is quickly becoming a distant memory..............

Thieves are just pure human garbage! You work hard for everything, only to have someone else to try and take it from you.

Sorry to hear this. The scum of the earth are taking over because our society will not deal with them as they should.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By revmanii · Posted

      So, lot's of googling and reading, and a trial fit found, that indeed they hit the newer fatter caliper. I did some re-testing today, and found just 3/16" worth of washers was enough for the wheel to spin freely. I added 2 more on each, and again it spun freely. Tested lock to lock with the 4 washers, about 5/16" not quite the 3/8" Im considering, but pretty close. No issues. I've been looking at the BORA .375" spacers and using extended lugnuts to get back lost thread due to the spacer. All the ET lugs I've seen are all .33" reach inside the wheel lug holes. For those that don't like spacers or think they're unsafe, I think it depends on what type of spacers you're using and making sure you get good quality hubcentric ones, and if you're using bolt on ones, regular mainenance, checking the spacer lugs. Not wanting or needing that much spread. Looking for the minimum that will let me run these rims and tires.  it does look to stick out a little, but I really want put these on. and use the stock all-terrains in the winter.
