I do believe you'd get your ass kicked around here for doing that to someone's truck. Everyone has a truck where I live and it would be taboo to mess with anyone's property.

I wanted to ask if this messes up the paint. Thanks. :shakehead:

 

 

 

Yes it will mess up your paint, that stuff etches right into your clearcoat. I know from personal experience, my last Jeep Wrangler got covered with the stuff while I was at work. You could still see the lines in the paint after it was removed and washed many times. Clay bar did nothing. The only way to get rid of the lines is a good quality polish, I used an orbital buffer to get it out.

 

Your truck might be screwed though being a darker color, my Jeep was red. If you want some decent quality polish recomandations hit me up with a PM.

Dude, I think you need some therapy.

 

So you're okay with people throwing their trash into the bed of your truck.

 

I'm not sure I'M the one who needs therapy. What would you do if you caught someone throwing their soda cup into your truck, calmly go over and discuss other places they might throw their trash? Man, please.

You should have ordered this option <<<

:lol: But seriously that sucks. Make sure you videotape the revenge.

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.

 

People have a lot of guts to do that. I had a cover on my truck so I didn't happen to me. But I did have chewing tobacco thrown on my truck. One guy i knew had a milkshake thrown on his truck, the guy then poured brake fluid on his vehicle.

Thats exactly what i would do. Much better option then throwing a hissy fit and doing somethign you can get charged for.

well the first thing i would do is laugh and joke about it to people acting like it is no big deal. Then maybe it will get back to them that you don't really care and someone will tell ya who did it thinking you really don't care then WHAMMY superglue every lock on there car hoping they don't have keyless entry get there email and address and have all kinds of shit sent to there house.

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