So Saturday night someone decided they wanted my grille more than i did apparently. Parked in the driveway up against the garage, so whoever did it had to have known i had it and not just passing by and grabbed it. So now looking at the best option to get it fixed, body shop quoted about $1400, for stock grille and inner grille, fix and repaint upper bumper cover and paint the grille bezel. basically $900 in parts and the rest labor and paint. Insurance deductible is $750. I just ordered a 2017 1500 SLT with 6.2 max tow. Terrible timing but whatever.

Might get a dealer to give you some sympathy and match internet prices for all the other parts. Esp those stupid screws that list for $4 each [emoji16]

Not sure which is the bigger crime.

 

The dirtbag who did that or the price of a stock grill.

 

I agree, that aftermarket grille that they stole was less than the stock one. haha go figure. I have found the all terrain style grilles online for $350-$380. might go that route.

Leave it like that for a few weeks before making a claim. Hope the come back for the headlight and you can go LEDs on your insurance companies dime.

 

I don't care to get LED's or any upgrade just because I ordered a 2017 last week. So just trying to get it back together to trade it in when the new truck shows up.

No problem. Just buy your grill back on CL for $50 nucks and a case of cheap beer.

Change of path based on this new info. Go to the X's house and get it from her.

LOL get a Denali style and then charge the Dealership 2k extra for it on trade in. What turnabout is fair play right?

haha I guess I could see if the insurance would go for that, doubtful. They won't even give me the money for the aftermarket one.

Sympathy from the dealer for an Internet match? That's how they make their money. "The bad news is 3 of the "expendable" plastic rivets were damaged removing your radiator shroud; good news is we were able to reuse the other 11 and and saved you $44.00, so you'll only have to pay an additional $12.00 in parts..

 

Good luck trying to get him to cut the price from $4.00 to 6 cents......you can pay the dealer $4.00 plus tax for 1 or you can go to Amazon and pay less than $6.00 shipped for 100 or go to EBay and order 100 for less than $5.00 shipped from China.

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By mark249 · Posted

      Brought my 2015 Colorado into the dealership to check my touch screen issues, had that ghost touch thing happening. They said I needed a new touch screen and they could either order me one for $500. The lady at the service deck was nice enough to tell me I could order a touch screen online for less, she did stipulate that the touch screen had to be factory OEM, you can't pair an aftermarket screen to my radio seeing it was 2015, it had to be a GM factory OEM only. I found a few on Amazon and Ebay by the numbers on the back of the old screen, DJ080PA-01A GM# 22740886, Some said "OEM" in the description and others just said "Replacement". Would a replacement be the same as a OEM as long as it had the same numbers on the back of the screen? In some of the descriptions they also show different brand names but same numbers, is that an issue?

      I have both but typically use the 4 legged walker (wheels on front, ski's on back).   The four wheeler is starting to be used on "longer" outdoor walks.  The 4 legged walker is particularly helpful in practicing good walking posture.  Both of my knees are at different stages of recovery and I'm trying to not develop poor habits.  I can actually manage with a cane but it's very difficult not to favor one leg over the other.  My PT recommends I continue with my 4 legged walker for a while.  Yesterday was four weeks since my last knee replacement and I'm excited about my progress to date.  It has been a hell of a rough journey so far but it is exciting to witness  systematic and continuous improvement.  I went for years watching the decline of my "mobility".  It seems that everyday now I am alerting my wife to something I can do now that I couldn't a day or two ago!  I encourage anyone facing the prospect of knee replacement to share any concerns with others who have had the surgery.  It isn't an instant fix but rather is a considerable amount of short term pain for long term gain.  Recovery time and pain levels vary for individuals post surgery but the end results are typically very positive and I've never encountered anyone regretting having had the surgery.

      The lifter issue can be dealt with by shorter oil changes and quality oil IMO.

      Wiring Help, Please

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      I'm putting in an A-pillar pod/gauges, and I'm asking if anybody can identify a (preferably) fuse for a switched power and illumination circuit on the driver's side interior fuse panel. Offhand, everything I checked with a test light was constant-hot, and I'd much rather uses a piggyback fuse. I can certainly find a wire, but I'd rather not half-tap.   Thanks in advance for any help.
