It's ridiculous my truck seems to get new dings by the day!!! All along the sides above the door line as if someone hit it with their door. Idk where they come from but seem like pressure dings or something. Really frustrating

Knock on wood... close to two years ...no dings! I am very selective on how and where I park. I don't believe these trucks will ding easier than any other comparably sized vehicle!

Don't know where your parking to get a new ding every day, but maybe you should stop parking there. I have no dings on my 17, but very selective on where and who I park next too. Had one ding on my 14, thanks to my lovely wife.

Probably need to add an extra wide body molding down the side to give the careless drivers something to bounce their door off of. Heck you could pretty much cover the entire side if needed................Please post pics when done

Yup, it will ding with just the lightest touch. Frustrating. Anyone who uses their truck like a truck is going to ding it up.

Oh well, it's a truck. And trucks get dings.

The sheet metal is very thin on these trucks... anything to save a few pounds. Thank you EPA.

Confusing...either you have door dings or you don't??

Cool....your initial post said "As if someone hit it with a door" your words....not mine. There's a post out there with someone who had the same issue.

 

Found it

Idk man, reread your post it, claims your dents appear from what looks like door dings, maybe edit your title to random denting or mysterious denting.

 

 

As ifAnyway....it's like ripples down the side wavy kind of.

Hi My 2018 2500 hd had dents when I picked it up new from the dealership. Metal is paper thin and I find new dings weekly. Leaned up against the tailgate and put a huge dent in it that I had to have pulled. Never seen anything like it. I drove Fords for 30 years and never had anything like this happen. These ARE NOT door dings.  Not happy.

I found the small dings in my front passenger upper fender. Figured out I was causing them while washing the truck. Standing on a step ladder leaning against the fender with my cellphone in my pocket. I had them removed by the dealerships PDR guy. Lesson learned, make sure your pockets are empty when leaning against the truck.

      2019+ Brake failure, it's complicated

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. I read that if pushing the caliper pistons back then you're supposed to open the bleeder so as to not push fluid backwards into the abs module or it will damage it. If that's true then that's also a possibility from the previous owner having the brakes changed before I got it. I'm using an XTool ip500 scanner. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome.

      Next Friday will be my 6 week point from my right knee replacement.  The surgeon says it will be fine if I choose to drive after this checkup.  I know I could drive now but best to do as my surgeon (and my wife) tell me.  Richard compared being 62 to 72.  I remember when I was in my early 60's I was experiencing slow but regular decline in my mobility.  Thanks to good medical support,  i continued to fight the speed and spread of this decline. During my 60's I worked on non-surgical methods and just when I turned 70, my orthopedic surgeon recommended joint replacements.  In a little over a year, I had one shoulder and both knees replaced.  This hasn't been a terribly fun experience, but worth the discomfort as my future mobility health trajectory has reversed.  It is a treat to now be watching my mobility. balance and confidence steadily improve!
