OMG, that's TERRIBLE. Makes my glad my S-10 fits in the garage, granted it fits with VERY little room front to back.

 

I hope that's all they got, you're lucky the truck is fairly new, paint match should be fairly easy...

It looks like the first 2 letters are ME but I cant tell what the third is. To me it says "Marshall please go get that 38" chrome moly kart axle out."

bastards....didnt those punks' momma teach them anything, like gold and white dont match well? (sorry, just had to lighten things up some)

 

Sorry for your misfortune. I had some vandals break my window out a few weeks ago, so I feel your pain. not that my window compairs to this. I should have just set $200 on the hood and it would have saved me some time.....

 

hope they pay

You find ONE kid, the first kid you find in the neighborhood, and beat the holy living S**T out of him......and then let him deal with the one who really did it.

 

I have a bad temper, i can not even fathom what i would do if that happened to me. I had a 1968 SS 396/375 Conv, matador Red with Black Conv. top when i was in high school. I came out one day and someone had sliced the top wide open, that was a bad day in my life....i can somewhat relate to what your going through, but i am very sorry that happened to you. I hope you find the punks!

dude that sucks.

 

try a little fine compound cleaner/ polisher. should come right off, with a little elbow grease. then re wax it. I can not tell you how many cop cars i have cleaned due to the same type of vandalism. I bet they are pissed when less than 24 hrs later all signs are removed. good luck. and don't put anything in print if you find out who did it and take care of it.

d**n......

 

 

One thing I did when I moved in the neighborhoo, I made it clear to the neighborhood punk ass kids that if they ever touched anything of mine, that I would simply put a bullet in their head. So far no problems. They must think I'm crazy.

 

 

I feel for you man. I'd come un-freakin-glued

 

Beat one of them half to death and they'll spill the beans

Friend of ours that runs a body shop told me to use mineral spirits. Its all off the paint, and it has a new coat of wax. But the emblems are a different story. I guess I get to clean them up tomorrow. Riding home from work (in the '94) I had my hand on my 4D mag lite just HOPING someone was back.

 

I honestly have no idea who did it, nor why. We do not have any enemies in the neigborhood. We do have 2 Bush Cheney signs but the rest of the 'hood is over welmingly W'04.

 

There is a WW1 model 1911 that really needs to be tested out.... :seeya:

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      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.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
