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...

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).

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I had skimmed through that article when you posted the link and honestly I felt rather defeated in a sense and realized that all these years in changing oil that in fact putting in what I was told was a good quality oil was probably not filtered as well as it should be although the filter put on the engine would be what ( as long as it never went into bypass mode ) would be the final filtering of the new oil that the engine components would first see, but then the filtering media itself is not up to par to what is ideal because a full flow filter would be too restrictive to filter fine enough for the engines best outcome in the long run. Only one of our tractors over the years which was a Versatile with a 855 Cummins had a separate bypass filter, some engine manufacturers did spec a partial bypass system within the main oil filter but I don't believe any other trucks or equipment I was servicing used such a filter. No doubt a product like the Amsoil bypass system is of benefit as long as nothing goes sideways with the extra plumbing and filter such as a rupture/leak that could cause the oil to pump out of the engine ( yes that Versatile had a remote canister with hoses routed to it as well ). With the idiot egr system on a diesel and as a result forcing a lot more soot into the oil, that certainly isn't helping the diesel engines cause or as you pointed out the GDI engine issue with creating more soot and aside from having a fancy secondary filtering system, changing the oil more often helping lower the total soot load.     So oil manufacturing and the end product is not something one can control and I wonder if there are specs on what various oil packaging companies produce in particle count or size. As to the filtering, if the OEM is not designing a filter size and spec that is really what it could be, they too are short changing the end user and so what is the answer. Of course as you say the oil side can only do so much if the air side isn't keeping up its end of the picture and air filters are only so efficient and if in a dusty environment such as farm or construction or driving gravel roads there is a lot of dirt to filter out and some of that ends up into the air stream.    Of course the irony in places like where I am where they dump the salt on the highways but also will mix in some calcium or outright pure calcium for problem road area's, or using calcium as dust control on gravel roads, the vehicle that gets used in that environment may rust out before a properly engineered engine and maintenance finally wears out so one has to face that reality in the rust belt.

      Oil Change

      By Erfar · Posted

      have you stuck with dealer oil changes since then? I made the same switch after getting tired of crawling around under the truck, but I’ve found some dealers are way better than others about getting you in quickly. Curious if yours has been good about scheduling or if you’ve had to look elsewhere for quicker turnaround.

      Can anyone decode a VIN to determine if this truck has had emissions issues or a recall?

      By cherryred21duramax · Posted

      Thank you.   I am set on a 3.0 Duramax as my previous truck with a Ford Ecoboost had just as many, if not more, "common" issues.  Cam phasers, timing chain issues, 10-speed valve body and CDF drum, emissions issues, etc.  So I figured, why not get 2x the fuel mileage (these things got 27+mpg on every mixed city/highway test drive I put them through) and better towing capability with resale value to boot?   My minimum, shortest trip will be 50 miles 1-way and I regularly go out of state with a travel trailer.  I'm planning on using this for a marketing/event promotion business also, which would require regular towing of trailers for bands, DJs, sound and lighting gear, along with my personal camera gear for filming events.   Looked at other trucks in the $30k+ price range but the issues seem to be everywhere, plus too many with gaudy mods.  I'm literally sticking with RWD trucks because they tend to be actually used as trucks, vs. the 4x4 models I've seen with unsafe lifts, huge tires, and general mods that would affect reliability (I'm wondering if some of them were tuned, hence the aggressive throttle response and hard shifting).   So my goal is to find a stock, 3.0 with 1 or 2 owners, in good physical condition, and decently well maintained.  Can't seem to find that up here, everything in the $27-30k range has had multiple owners, smoke smell, issues, or body damage.  Or the ridiculously modified trucks with 80k miles for under $27k but lots of problems...

      That’s pretty tough Grumpy. I reread the previous few posts. They all reference oil changes. Much like your last thread. In my humble opinion it keeps things interesting.
