I was at a wedding last night and when I came out someone had put a large dent in the side of my trucks bed. They did they did not even bother to leave a note. There is no way they did not know they did it, I can see scuffs where they hit an the panel and It is pushed in a good inch at its strongest spot where the body line is about a third of the way up the bedside. All things aside is this something that can be handled by paintless dent repair as there are only 2 scratches.

Not sure if the paintless dent repair process will work - the dent runs through a body crease. Many of us can relate to coming out and finding that our vehicle has been dinged or hit in a parking lot. Some people just have no respect for others.

While it sucks, you need to take some responsibility if you want them to pay for it. In truck cameras are a must! It changes everything when you watch the video and know exactly who, when and how it all happened. My cameras record on any movement around the truck.

Can you share your camera make and model ?

I really want to get one but lost on which is best for our trucks

Thanks

Until my out of production Itronics cameras gives out I will keep running them. Right now Blackvue seems to hold the lead for current production cameras.

If it's just kids (or in this case probably an inebriated party goer) a minor dent like that, your still going to eat it. Might as well just suck it up buttercup.

I've seen it happen a lot in parking lots.

I've witnessed many people open their car doors and hitting the vehicle parked next to them.

The worst offenders are moms in mini vans taking their kids out of the child seats. They swing their car door open as wide as it can go so they can have enough space to take their kids out.

If I'm parked in a parking lot I try to park away from the crowds of cars close to the entrance. That way there's a reduced risk of some other dirtbag hitting my truck with their door.

What peeves me when parking away from other cars is if I return and find some idiot parked next to me. With a parking lot of so many available parking spots why park nect to me?

But that's another discussion...

      This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.
