Well, on my way to the store I get rear ended. Don't know if the kid wasn't paying attention or to close but wacked me in the back. Everyone is OK, ...killed is car though. As far as I can tell now a ruined bumper and maybe hitch. Looks like it touched my drivers rear quarter..but have to get it looked at to see the extent. After reading all these accident posts I was saying thank God not me.,well no more...sucks

Thankful my level was in with the rear lift blocks.

She's gonna get lifted so I get less damage if this ever happens again.

I would talk with the other driver's insurance company. I was tagged in my previous truck. The collision damaged the bumper only, which was replaced with OEM. State Farm turned in the claim to Carfax and I had a really hard time getting "above average" Kelley Blue Book trade-in due to the Carfax report. I sanitized the repair invoice and provided it to the dealer as proof that no body damage had occurred.

Texting and driving I'd bet. My all terrain got rear ended with just 4K miles on it. Didn't even touch the body and it was close to $2000 to repair, but they had to paint my new bumper. Yours will come chrome so a bit cheaper there.

We have the same ins which I'm assuming is a good thing. What does diminished value do?

You can find a brand-new take off bumper on Craigslist or eBay and install it with a few hours of free time. Then again, that dude's insurance is covering it, if you don't care about a car fax ding.

Diminished value will cover you for the depreciation your truck just took because it was in an accident. The previous poster mentioned that he had trouble once it showed up on Carfax so a dealer or a private sale will offer you less because of this so the insurance company offers you diminished value for your truck to make up for that. Usually a check made out to you after they fix your truck.

OK so this is what I've done so far. I called my/ his ins comp. and gave them the info. My info, his info...they said they can have an appraiser come out, have me take pics and send them to the ins. Comp. I said I want someone to come out but I plan to go to my body shop in the morning to have them look at it and see what they think is needed and the damage I may not see.

I know the body shop may find damage that the appr. doesn't see and I'm gonna let them know I will be getting and OEM factory..not Chinese bumper. My only concern now is this paint is chip and will cause rust down the road

What else should I do before the appr comes out or so

No I think they will. If that wasn't there I would do the bumper myself. I just looked and a bumper (factory) is 700-900...I'm assuming this will be near 2k to fix. Insane. I plan on keeping the truck for a long time. My last vehicle I had for 11 yrs so at least over 5 I'll own this. Just sucks I need body work done after 3 months of owning it

Leave it alone until after they look at it. Then you could put a dab of grease on it until it goes in the shop to prevent rust.

      A/C failure cause???

      By Somethingclever_2014GM · Posted

      Glad it worked for you. I tried that 1st, about 2 years ago. Didn't help. I also tried doing a hard reset (disconnecting battery for minimum of 30 minutes). Worked a couple times, but after one summer of doing it over and over, that no longer worked.  I was fairly confident it was either the compressor or a failed actuator, but I just couldn't identify which one. Had to research which actuators do what and which last numbers are associated with each.

      Took me FIFTEEN MINUTES to find this. Isn't that a problem? On the mainstream media I can INSTANTLY find 100 articles bashing President Trump ... but when it comes to TRUTH in American corporate news & search engines, it's carefully filtered to support ONE SIDE. A Republic cannot survive like this! Incredible! Even all the AI searchers out there failed as well! ChatGPT said it needed more details on the video that I provided a DIRECT LINK to! I thought AI was the be-all, end-all?? I had to dig it up myself. This should be FRONT PAGE NEWS!!! 🤬   Here's the statement directly from our President:     Glenn Beck's reporting on the operation:   https://glennbeck.com/watch/videos/trump-just-revealed-a-massive-military-secret-that-lowered-gas-prices   In case that link doesn't work, here's the YouTube link:     And another 15 minutes to find this clip out of Glenn Beck's video - the first few seconds is all the corporate media will allow the public to see, since the low IQ people will think Trump said " I love inflation ", and that was the end of it. Taken WAY out of context! Here's that part, plus the 2nd part about the oil smuggling operation:

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      More is cylinder deactivation. Kia-Hyundai Ive had 4. The warranty is the same 10 years 100K miles. My grandson drives the first one 05 Elantra GT. My wife drives the second one 2011 Genesis. The Genesis still performs as new and looks great. The Elantra looks rough. He’s not kind to it. The third was a Genesis coup. The fourth was a Santa Fe. Those were my daily drivers. I don’t keep them long. Kia is the same as Hyundai with the same warranty. I looked at the K-4 today. Too small, otherwise pretty good buy. Most of Hyundai and Kia’s have a performance upgrade.

      Oil Consumption

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Great question. Answer....depends. One the volume of the crankcase, the driver that will actually be using the vehicle and the amount it uses plus the distance expected for that next trip. Couple of for instances:   Wife is going to drive Dizzy to Moline and back plus a bit around town so say 500 miles on the day. I know from years with that SUV that around town and local rural it uses about a quart in 1250 miles. But on the Interstate and her at the wheel without her anchor nagging her she'll push it and it will drop a quart in about 800 miles. Hence, around town I wait to somewhere between a quarter down to a quart down. On her trip I'd top it if it was down a few ounces and hope for the best.    Have I overfilled one? You mean by adding before it needs a full quart I assume. No, not once after finding the true fill mark.  I know the dipsticks of everything I drive and add what it needs. I learn this by doing the first oil change a quart low. Run the motor for a few minutes. Let it sit over night. Check and mark. Then add half a cup at a time making note of the place on the stick. I add through the dipstick tube with a barbeque basting bottle. Give it a few minutes to drain down and check again.    A vehicle like Dizzy that uses this much oil will take a few quarts between 3K changes. I keep one in the vehicle with the bottle and a bag. (Mindful of it's fullness) Not a big deal and never makes a mess of it. There is no such thing as "multiple quarts' in my shop for any specific oil. There will be a maximum however of the number of different oils used over the fleet.     Dizzy holds a nominal 5 quarts. So the first fill was indeed over as it actually took 4.75. My vehicles are fit with Valvomax valves so I can meter an ounce on the drain if need be. Found her mark first crack at it. Never to be repeated.    Pepper uses none between changes so I don't keep a quart in that one. Straight up 6 quarts put her dead on the full line. Check it ever fuel stop. They will surprise you when they start using.    Raven holds 3 liters or 5.44 ounces over three quarts. I add 3 quarts and 6 ounces. That gives me 5 oil changes on my orphan quart.    Lawnmower holds about 3/5 of a quart. I don't over fill it to prevent an orphan. So yea, depends.
