no clue on the people ... because i beleive maybe 1% of the data that is sent with photo's like this ...

 

i have never seen one hit on the upper window part before .. but the damage does look about right i guess .. have seen what a wild turkey will do when it hits the roof / window ...

That truck was rolled. Driver may have reacted to the deer hitting it, but I find it hard to believe a deer as small as the one laying on the pavement, would cause the damage and subsequent collapse of the roof.

There's no way in hell that thing rolled. If it rolled at a velocity enough to own entire roof, the doors wouldn't still be entact.

 

 

That's no baby deer either, that's a good-sized adult doe. And they can jump high enough to reach the roof of that rig. And I'm willing to be the driver was bookin it too.

What I dont understand is how the doors are all still intact. You would think that if the roof started to collapse like that the doors would to. Unless they are designed to break free like that.

Well, from the looks of it that "small deer" is actually a bigger deer that got cut in half. See how the rear legs are missing and the guts are showing?

 

That guy was moving really fast to cause that big of a dent, but it is a really straight highway.

 

I just hate to see a new truck like that get wrecked. I'm amazed that there is no damage to the hood.

I'm waiting on a n00b thread asking "How do I get deer parts out of rear seat DVD player....And child's hair?"

 

 

And Jeremy, thanks for using the term "bookin' it". I try and work that into conversation at least once a day. It's my favorite word this week.

well i know a small wild turkey can smash in the front window and put a nice sized dent in the roof of a silverado ... already seen that first hand ...

 

no that truck wasn't rolled ...

 

as for the doors .. they are not attached to the roof in the front and top so it is very possible for something to just hit the roof and the doors be okay ... if it had rolled the doors would be damaged as well ...

 

the more i look at it ... i would guess the person was prob doing 80+ and the deer either jumped or was hit by a car in front of em and his roof caught it .. and cut it in half ... other half is either inside the truck ... or what is on the road next to it is what was inside the truck ...

I'd like to know how its still on the road. Did the guy stop it after it was hit, with his seat reclined all the way back, kinda doing a seated in truck version of the matrix, except with a deer and a folding roof instead of bulletts? That would be one hell of a story.

      Trading 7.3 (Godzilla) for G.M.C gas

      It is a company truck. Not under warranty. Both companies I’m involved with usually buy trucks that are discounted when looking. Except what the owners drive. Being retired and minority owner. I don’t drive a company truck. If they have the new GM gas engine it would be in a service truck.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Update!   Had the dealer look at the issue. First tech says no problem?? I said there was no voltage on the brake terminal on the 7 pin connector! He said he did not know what pin I was talking about. So they bring out a seasoned tech and I explain to him. He attaches a VOM and has me push the brake, and sees no voltage!!    Tom, the seasoned guy says lets go back to my service bay and look closer. We discover thru his on line system that the controller is a "smart controller" as it needs to detect a trailer connected before the brake voltage is allowed to the 7 pin connector!!! He also showed me a GM bulletin stating some trailers with LED lights have such low resistance the controller wont recognize them!!! I was thinking WTF, but thanked him for bringing me back into the service bay and explaining this all to me. He also plugged in a trailer simulator and it showed the brake controller was indeed working.   After my dealership visit I hooked up to an older camper with standard 1157 lights and the truck did connect and the electric brakes worked great!    Not to sure what I have to do with the equipment trailer with LED lights, I cant tow it with no brakes.   Why did something so simple for many years have to get so complicated!

      Do find out as that would be interesting if they have been using any L8T engines or for that matter have been running any of the Ford gas 7.3 to see how they have been panning out.    I assume your nephews engine replacement was on his dime as the regular warranty would have long past unless he had some form of extended warranty that covered such events. That shows though and may depend on the year of the build that failures are occurring with the valve train well beyond the warranty distance and more than likely so will others have that sneak up on them.

      I realize this is an old post and its probably been talked about since then on this forum and I may have mentioned it myself but the Chev multi flex tailgate on the HD trucks are all aluminum so there is that one item that I am aware of on a current GM HD truck that is aluminum but if its the standard tailgate then its still a steel unit as far as I am aware to current 2026 model year.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am surprised it didn't pop back up some just in time for the end of school/summer holidays and July 4th time period. Here in Alberta it hit its low coming off the high back a week before the end of June or so and has been creeping back up some and would equate roughly to around 20 cents per gallon increase. Of course there are various factors and one is the games they typically play with wanting to capture that holiday vehicle movement but also our government directly causing our Canadian dollar to drop ( a polite way of explaining the real picture ) causing our prices to go up rather than continue down like it should have, and even though we are sitting on the crude.
