2001 Chevy Silverado extended cab, White. Stolen in Huntingdon Tennessee. Huntingdon PD is handling the matter. Their number is 731-986-5310.

 

Distinguishing marks include orange Chevrolet bowtie on the grill, LED lights all the way around, black Wing tool box in the bed, multi colored wire hanging down from the left rear corner that goes to LED strip under the tailgate.

 

It was loaned to someone to help them move but then that person sold it for drugs. I had no idea the person was like that so don't bash me. I only owned the truck for 3 weeks so I feel bad enough.

 

I suspect the truck is around Lexington Tennessee most of the time but who knows it could be anywhere. I'm having a harsh discussion with my insurance company because they say it is a civil dispute because I loaned it to that person. So if the insurance company gets their way, I am out a truck and about $10,000 for purchase and repairs and such. Not happy right now

Hey Brian, sorry for your loss! What a nice truck. Hopefully you will recover it still in good shape or come to an agreement with your insurance company. I will certainly keep an eye out for it up here in Richmond. I guess that just proves the old adage, "no good deed ever goes unpunished".

That sucks man.  So how long ago did he/she sell the truck for drugs? What insurance company do you have?

There are a bunch of really similar trucks in TN I saw at least two this morning. Can you post the VIN?  It is probably not to far from Huntington but I doubt if the local police are putting too much effort into locating a 17 year old truck................ Just the nature of the beast. Be happy to let you know if I can spot it for you though.

I know there is a lot more to this story but on the surface, I wonder why has your friend not been charged for grand theft? (or has he/she)  Also, I would get legal assistance to help you with your insurance company as their response doesn't sound right.  If your friend totaled or  had any accident with your vehicle  you'd be covered.  Not knowing your friend was such a crook was an accident!

The truck wasn’t stolen.  I doubt there was any paper sale transaction because of the shady people involved, but if it was you may have to buy the truck back if it’s found.  Don’t believe the insurance co will help because you loaned the truck to a friend, which is allowable and covered in case of an accident or incident.  A sale on the other hand is not the insurance co problem unless it’s written in your policy or is a state directive.

Hey sold it for drugs or sold it for money to buy drugs? Don't get mad at whoever "bought" it, they may not be in on what happened. 

 

Hope the title is in your name?

To legally buy a truck from an individual, I would think the law would require the title be transferred...otherwise it's theft.

At least that's how things work in most states...

There are a lot of "no title" or "lost title" ads on Craigslist. The person  could have told the buyer "Ill bring it to you in a few days" or "I have to use the money to pay off the bank and I'll send it to you".

 

Sure, it might raise a red flag to you, or someone with common sense, but most people don't have common sense. 

 

I think it was Carlin that said "Think of how dumb the average person is......and realize half of all people are dumber than that". Plently of people won't ask questions if the price is right.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.

      SERCICE ESC message?

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Got this yesterday out of nowhere. Truck is a 25',6.6 gasser with 8k miles.  Only semi anomaly is that the truck had been sitting, uncranked for 6 days. Elec Stability Control showed immediately upon cranking, not while driving. No drivability issues, just the message. Battery didn't seem to be weak when cranking over.  I drove it, killed it, let it sit a few hrs with no avail.  Truck is 100% stock. No damage.

      This can be done.  It is not cheap and requires an instrument cluster swap with custom programming, new steering wheel with the controls on it, and a special jumper harness.   The cluster upgrade - 12.3” Digital Cluster Upgrade – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The wheel upgrade - Steering Wheel Upgrade Kit – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The column harness upgrade - 2019 - 2026 Silverado / Sierra: Steering Wheel LIN Bus Harness - Harness Dr. - DIY Done Right     The problem with doing all of this?  You pretty much can't have any programming done to your truck that involves the cluster ever again.  The dealer won't be able to program the cluster as GM's system will only pull data for the cluster the truck came with.  So it would be advised also to turn off over the air updates.   TLDR;  Should have bought an LT double cab?  You'd have a power seat, the wheel controls, the cluster, all things that you've been seeking in your various posts so far about your new WT regular cab.

      Yes.  The 2.7 Turbomax has Active Fuel Management.  It is NOT the same as the V8s.  Totally different system.     Here is an article from GM when the 2.7 came out explaining the cylinder deactivation and the valve lift system.  Starts at the section called "SCS Valvetrain":   New Turbocharged 2.7L 4-Cylinder Engine Powers Full-Size Trucks – TechLink         This is an internet myth going around.  It was alleged that some 5.3s had this mystical 8th digit of the VIN as an "E" which somehow meant it had a new one year only 5.3 that didn't have DFM.  The writer of said article and the person that made the claim conveniently can't count because they posted the VIN.  The 8th digit was a "D" which meant its still the 5.3 with DFM.  The 9th digit of the VIN was an "E" and the 9th digit isn't the engine code.  At all.
