Ok had a guy go hunting with me and His 12ga "Mysteriously" Went off sending a #4 shot pheasant load through the passenger floor board. From what I can tell one pellet stuck in the sidewall of the Tire. BRand new Huercules Trail digger MT I might add, but isn't flat. YET.. Seperated the ABS line that made the dash light come on I am guessing this is the electrical line. I can't tell for sure yet without pulling the wheel off but I beleive it got my CV boot and maybe the rubber boot on the tie rod I think. There was greese flung on my fender well after going a short distance. I would like to think I am pretty mechanicaly inclined But I will be ohnest here, Never touched the front end of a Vehicle other than brakes. What do I need to do to fix this myself and what should I look for? Are these rubber groments and boots a tough chore to change and the ABS line? Should I just take it to a shop and get it over with or do it myself? Thanks for any opinons other than Getting a new hunting buddy...

All I know is that if my hunting buddy(who is my dad so this doesn't usually apply) but they'd be paying for all repairs and would get a hell of an ear full from me about it. I'd take it in to a shop and send him the bill. Who puts a loaded 12gauge in their hands in the passenger seat of a pickup? That's breaking some safety rules, in my book.

 

As far as doing it yourself, I'm not too sure. The front end scares me a lot but I don't think it's too bad. I helped a buddy replace one of his CV boots on a Ford Explorer and it wasn't awful. I'm unsure about the ABS line/sensor.

Let alone had this guy ever heard of a safety?? I wouldnt ever hunt with him again and he would be paying for it or this would be in court!

Sorry to hear about your luck but I think I would have to agree with Jason. I'd let your friend know you planned on taking it to the shop to get fixed correctly and that he'll be picking up the bill. I'm sure he's already probably offered to pay for it but with as much potential damage as you have going on it's best to take it to someone who can fix everything all at once. I can't imagine you have endless hours to be diagnosing and fixing all of this.

Did you shoot him back?

 

Damn. He might have been the unwilling and unfortunate victim of an accidental shooting here.

Is he also going to pay to clean the poop off of the drivers seat? :lol:

 

Like everyone else said, I'd take it to a shop and make him foot the bill for being an idiot.

The thought off shooting him did cross my mind, but I was just so dumb founded at first I din't even know what to think. at first I was just looking for blood, and after not seeing any I tried to get an idea of the damage. Still Dumb founded by the whole damn thing.

Yea, I would say next time he should keep it in the gun case. I don't know where you are, but IL requires guns to be cased or dismantled to transport, even on a four-wheeler. So not only is he being unbelievably unsafe, he's probably breaking laws too. I would never find myself wanting to hunt with this guy ever again.

I would definitely get it checked out by professional shop.

 

Oh and tell him the only way he's allowed back in your truck with a gun is if it's one of these:

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By newdude · Posted

      HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.

      2021 vs 2026 handling (1500 X31 Sierra)

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it.

      frustrating P0446 code

      By Old Bay · Posted

      So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29.
