Jealous. If I can't have it, then I want to be sure you don't enjoy it either.

 

Unfortunately, that is too often the truth.

 

Nice new pic, Fred.

 

 

Thanks Daddy. I thought it needed freshening.

 

Way to go Fred.

So today at school, someone put silly string all over my truck. I took it through touchless wash 3 times for it to get off and it's still there. God I'm so mad right now. I wanted to ask if this messes up the paint. Thanks. :shakehead:

 

 

That sucks dude, hopefully it will all come off. I don't get why people do this short of stuff, and they think it's funny. A few months ago, my wife took my truck to visit her parents in Michigan. Ended up parking on the street because they already had 4 cars in the driveway. Someone at some point either clipped my driver side mirror with their mirror or, hit it with some kind of object (my guess is a bat). I'm thinking someone did it on purpose, just by looking how the glass was broken, I was so pissed!

Normally it won't...UNLESS you run it through a touchles wash. :shakehead: J/K man, find out who did it and hook a tow strap to their car and yank it around the school parking lot like a tube behind a boat. :fume:

 

 

 

ROFL I can picture that in my head.. but pun that sucks I know your in canada but in america cameras are everywhare and at every school. ask ur principal to review the films.. find out who did it and charge with vandalism or distruction to property, canada has laws right? if not assymble a team find um, and deliver a Texas molly woop. Best of luck.

My school does not have any cameras in the parking lot. Pieces of the string are stuck on the hood pretty good because of the heat from the engine.

 

Got to give props to Jeff for giving me the idea of dragging the persons vehicle with my truck.

Man, some of you guys are being awfully harsh. It's silly string for crying out loud. Somebody was having fun...I doubt it had anything to do with jealousy.

 

 

Yeah man that sucks. Somebody at my school thinks the bed of my truck is a trashcan because I keep finding their Chic-fil-a bags and half empty drink cups when I walk back to my truck after rugby practice.

 

Get used to that. It's more than one person...Every truck I've ever had was a magnet for McDonald's wrappers and coke cans. Somebody put a WHOLE TIRE in mine once when I lived in Denver.

Now I'm thinking wingnut did it... wing, you would be surprised how hard it to get that s**t off after it drys. you'd be surprised wht else can destroy a cars finish. a milkshake was thrown on my moms hood of her camery, its peeled off the paint and clearcoat. also balogna can't spell it but the lunch meat. that's another evil trick... sillystring my truck land let me catch you, we will see what happens. :/

I can't even tell you how hot my blood boils when I simply see someone's drink cup or soda can in the bed of my truck after I get out of a restaurant. Who the F in their right mind throws their trash into someone else's vehicle? Oooh man, I tell ya. My blood must reach 105 degrees, and I don't know what might happen if I ever caught someone in the act. Please Lord let that be the day I'm NOT carrying my firearm, if merely for the thought that I would of course not be able to act upon.... putting some holes into one of your stray idiotic sheep.

Every time I read some of these posts I get pissed all over again at the ignorance and blatent disregard some have for other peoples's stuff! :fume: I still can't get past the fact that these are the same people who would probably sue the car company if they did not have their kid buckled up and got in an accident. :shakehead: Too bad we don't live back in the Western days where lynching was legal! :fume: Imagine the looks on their faces when 30 trucks come driving up to surround them and all of us carrying ropes! :fume:

 

Have faith PUNMAX, those people will get their due... As I always say, "Bad things happen to bad people" and karma is a mean beatch! :fume:

If I were you, I'd report it to the police as vandalism. If I came to the call, I'd write it up as criminal mischief. I've seen that crap stain some trailers which were white...whomever mentioned cameras is right. See if one might've caught it, find them, turn them in, have them arrested, and sue them in small claims for a full detail/lost time and wages.

I would try a good hand wash with a quality wash mit and very hot water. If that doesnt work, I would try a good claybar and lube to get the string off.

Exactly, it's silly string. A chemical product that can easily cause thousands of dollars in damage to your paint...

Dude, I think you need some therapy.

Ditto. Thankfully out here in the boonies we don't get so much of that, but I've been out of school for, let's say, quite awhile. Small-mindedness can be so frustrating though. People can be so disappointing! Hopefully you can get that crap off there without too many problems. I would suggest going with the insurance claim - your comprehensive ought to cover it (theft, fire, vandalism) but that also has an annoying aspect because I pay into the same insurance fund as you do and therefore some of your classmates just cost me and you money. :shakehead:

 

Oh and nice new pic Fred. Love the lettering. One of these days I want to do something like that (once I get the lift kit and summer tires on).

      Manufactuer's Defect - Paint Failure - Cherry Red High Country 2021 Suburban

      By AlVeron · Posted

      This is NOT impact damage nor neglect. There were previous class action lawsuits because of such paint preparation st GM manufacturing plant. Not just the Cherry Red Color. This paint is applied in three processes to obtain the desired color.  The manufacturer will cover for 36 months or 36k miles only. That rust is actually corrosion because of the paint process failure. Corrosion is covered for 100,100 miles or a certain months. However their corrosion doesn't include this type. Go figure. Clearly manufacturer knew from previous paint issues. This started 3 weeks ago out of the blue.

      Is it time to put a piece of tape over the CEL?

      2015 Silverado 3500 right rear turn indicator failure

      consider doing electrical testing?  I would guess some power or ground wire/connection has a problem.   alldata.com has wiring diagrams, connector pinouts and diagnostic procedures you can use to find where the problem is.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      can you tell if the reader is actually trying to get codes, and the pcm is reporting none, or is your reader just silently failing because it's not communicating with the pcm?

      Any joy with this truck seems to be short-lived.   The CEL for P0172 ("bank 1" too rich) is now "intermittent".   I'm not sure where to check, or re-check, and my energy to keep chasing problems with junk is wearing thin. The P0172 seems to set as I'm coming to a stop, completely off the throttle, when fully warm. At least, that's what it's done the 3? times it's set.   Everything appears normal on the scanner EXCEPT long term fuel trim. There's only one bank on this vehicle because it's an OBD 1.5 with only one upstream O2 sensor. At idle, it's around -16.4% and will dip to -18% occasionally at idle or off-throttle. LTFT approaches 0 when throttle is held at 2500rpm. Short term appears normal, much closer to zero all the time. The LTFT tells me the engine is running rich at idle but compensating at higher load. But, why?   The EVAP purge valve doesn't appear to be leaking/sucking fuel vapor continuously. Is it sticking just as I come to a stop and the engine is choking on fuel vapor and sets the P0172? But that doesn't explain the persistently negative LTFT. Disconnecting the purge valve doesn't seem to make any difference.   I suppose that leaves another dang issue with the fuel injector. A leaking fuel pressure regulator, a new leak in the spider, or a leaking fuel injector/poppet valve I didn't see, or a small crack in one of the spider legs.   The vacuum line leading to the fuel pressure regulator doesn't have raw fuel in it. It doesn't even smell like fuel when it's pulled off, not until you suck air through it, then you can tell it leads to a fuel component. I'd consider that normal? Nothing is signaling this is a FPR issue from the outside, at least.   The oil smells like fuel but it's not building volume. I've noticed most oil in most engines smells like fuel to some degree so it's hard to say if the smell is an issue or not. Or if the engine just still smells like fuel because the crankcase was full of it a few hundred miles ago. But it's been changed twice since that original issue of the leaking fuel line dumping fuel into the intake.   Patience is running very thin. Every win seems to be accompanied by two steps backwards, or another issue that leads to removing at least the top half of the intake manifold. Enough! LOL
