Damn, hope you're not still in the hospital. I'd definitely be contacting a few lawyers around, praying that drunk has good insurance or a successful life.

On the flip side, not like you really NEED all ten fingers. I mean, sometimes that middle one just gets in the way.

If your doctor ever says debridement and irrigation, run. As fast as you can. I refer to it as train wrecking my finger, and I believe it was an interrogation technique before it became a medical procedure. Whatever it's origins, I had it done Saturday morning, Sunday afternoon and again Tuesday morning. Until next Monday, I get to remove old gauze, clean, and repack it too. I'll spare the pics of that, but I have some equally painful ones.

And, yes, the frame is bent. There will be plenty of insurance coverage for this.

 

Thanks for asking, I got out of the hospital this afternoon.

...haha, and I'd probably tell them to take the damn finger instead of all that other stuff. Sounds painful. Hope it heals up quickly for you.

Did you have a rider for all the extra stuff on your rig? Most policies only cover aftermarket addons up to a total of $1000. I'm sure you had a lot more than that into your truck.

I also don't like car shopping. Always a compromise somewhere.

Agreed 100%

I lost my tahoe in August. Total loss. Got the check and part of me wanted to just buy a bicycle and call it a day.

Lol, I have already threatened to do that. There are some appealing candidates around town. Might go browsing today. Couple of Suburbans, a black on black 1500HD, etc

Haha, yeah, it sucks. Can you pull the engine/mods from the wreckage? Throw it into a shell. Of course that's a lot of time with no ride.

I used the loss of the tahoe to get a black on black sierra. Always wanted a blacked out truck and always ended up with something different. The new trucks are crazy nice.

Yeah, don't blame you. I kinda wish I would have gone with the 6.2, but the new 5.3 has gobs more power than I really need. I don't drive much anymore. Only put 1600 miles on my new one since September...400 was the drive home from the dealer. Should have gotten a smaller vehicle, but have a kinda heavy boat and the truck bed has been very handy lately.

      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.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.
