Some dumbass hit my truck this morning in the school parking lot while I was in class. When I approached it I noticed the plastic was popped up in the corner and pushed down just back and left of the license plate. The left side of the bumper is now pushed in some, the paint behind the bumper is scratched, and it is no longer flush around the tail light. It doesn't look like any damage was done to the bumper itself though. I wonder how fast he/she/it/bastard were going? You'd think it would take more than a slow backing in to it to do any damage. I've backed into two cars going really slow and didn't do any damage to either of them or my truck. I hate this amount of damage because its too small to get fixed and then you have to live with it forever...

Ah man, that stinks! We had somebody catch the bumper on our brand new Honda Accord a few years ago leaving several foot long, black stripes down on the corner. This actually happened twice, on both sides. Some people just have no regard for other people or their property. Sorry about your trouble man. Stuff like that is never fun!

Most schools now have cameras in a lot of areas. Go to the office and see if they have a tape of it. Make the guilty one pay!

Is Ross Hyden paying you to advertise for them? If not a hot air gun will take that free ad off.

 

And that's not too small to get fixed, that's something you'll spot every time you walk by your truck that's brand new. Plus in my area scratched paint equals rust, especially that area.

I had someone open their door and hit my fuel door. I found out who it was and busted their windows, grill, stabbed their hood, and shoved the crowbar through the roof.

I'm going to probably get it fixed after noticing that the tail gate won't open. As for rust, not much of a worry, that requires some form of moisture and we don't get any here.

 

I just got back from the police station, they don't have cameras in that parking lot and I waited for 30 minutes so that they can give me a report to fill out myself.

 

I just haven't gotten around to removing the dealership badge, infact I still have the dealership license plate cover over the license plate. Just too lazy and don't care enough. I doubt anyone here is going to drive 3 hours to go buy a truck from them.

Sorry to hear about your truck. Dumbass people are every where, and they don't give a shit about anybody but themselve's. I had to do a lot of running today, and apparently, I had a "please pull out in front of me" sign on the front of my truck.

i had a video on youtube of me ACCIDENTALLY running in to a Pontiac Aztec doing 5mph with my old truck...

 

i bent the bumper a little bit and broke one of my headlights.. but i was able to pull the bumper out with a come-a-long and bought 2 brand new headlights :cheers: and the Aztec she needed a new door shell and a mirror and new glass...

 

but the cop said it was her fault and the headlights were only 100 bucks for the pair so i didnt make her pay anything.....

      Thrust bearing is a very small window.  But nice try.   Turbo oil filter?  Haven't seen any failures.  Change your oil more frequently.  Use a better oil than the factory oil.

      There is a p/n called out in the one PI that GM has.  Curt 57003 inline load adapter that is used for LED trailers that are having trouble with these newer trucks.  No cutting, no splicing, etc.  GM did update the lighting module around 2023 to better pick up trailers with LED lighting, but it still can happen.     Here's the link to the Curt site for it - 7-Way RV Blade LED Electrical Adapter (Not a Wiring Extension) SKU #57003 by CURT   The PI I am referencing - MC-10208985-9999.pdf   Its not just a GM deal either.  Newer Fords and Rams have this same problem.       In another PI, they recommend that the trailer has a Pollock brand 7 way on it as that is who makes the truck sides for the OEMs.  GM is also big on making sure the trailer is trouble free.  So no wiring issues, all lights are functional, better quality 7 way plug, etc.     The other PI I am referencing - MC-10178359-9999.pdf   The model year range is older but it is the current PI for 2014-2026.  It calls out the Pollock RV HD 7 way they recommend.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      That's part of the problem...the EGR has already been replaced, and I've already had the complete intake assembly removed, and the EGR passages were clear at that time. That leaves wiring, PCM, or another variable that I wasn't expecting. Best I can tell, it's not wiring or the PCM, so I'm grasping for straws.   The PCM uses the MAP reading to confirm the requisite loss of vacuum in the manifold when the EGR activates. Since that's vacuum related, it involves a lot of other systems which could play a role.   The overall diagnosis has to be considered too. The fuel lines in the intake had rubbed through and were dumping fuel into the intake, drowning the cylinders in fuel, and putting raw fuel into the sump and cat converter. The fuel system has been fixed but the complete path of damage may not be. If the cat was damaged and melted the internals, it could be partially obstructed and also playing into the EGR issue.   I'm retracing my steps; trying to go back to thinking thinking Horses not Zebras based on the clues I've been given. These engines aren't *that* complex.   Could it be, now that the truck is running well, that carbon and crud from being run with the fuel system in disarray is now dislodging and clogged my clean EGR passages where I can't see?  That's what the code is actually saying. The flow is restricted, dummy. Retrace step 1.   I may just need to remove the lower intake again. Before I do that I'm going to try removing the EGR and running the engine for a few seconds to see if it will blow anything lodged in the egr passages out through the open ports.     That's been helpful in the past. For the spider injector, there's no guarantee I'll get a working one. The spider I have seems fine now that the high pressure fuel line isn't making an early delivery via large hole. SO at least I'm not marooned and looking for one of those.   Row52 (dot com) is also a good one for watching for vehicles at local yards.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Disassembly may be Required!   Every blender makes claims but do  you ponder those claims? What was really said? Was it true?  Motive for saying it? What does in infer?  Is that inference true?    Let's do one.    Claim: Made from shear stable base oils.    What was said: Base Oils are shear proof.   Was it true: Yes.  ALL base oils are Newtonian.    Motive / Inference: To imply the fully formulated product is Shear Proof.    Is the Inference true?: Most fully formulated multigrade oils contain Viscosity Modifiers or VM's, sometimes called VII or Viscosity Index Improvers. There are four types. One is in fact shear proof but it also has a bad effect on extreme cold flow and is restricted to use in specialty oils. A second has limited shear called a 0-5 SSI polymer. Meaning its shear is limited to a range of zero to five percent as reported by the ASTM D6278 Shear Stability Index test. A few high end oils, like Torco SR-5, use them and brag about it profusely. Actually all that use it point it out. The last two shear dramatically and are often marketed as a 'feature' of the product aiding the oil to meet fuel standard requirements of ever stricter rules. One shears more than 5% and the other up to 20%. As you make guess, cost is directly linked to shear down and as such the majority of oils use the cheapest organic polymers sold to make grade and pass stringent tests.    PPD's or Pour Point Depressants also shear a bit, only a few percent and hide inside the 0-5 SSI capabilities.    The blender knows he can not out engineer Stribeck. Physics is not a suggestion. But he can wordcraft the unsuspecting toward believing a false claims INFERENCE. This is LEGAL. It is COMMON, and it is EFFECTIVE.

      I don't recall ever dealing with one on an '06 and back. It may not even exist on that. I can't remember for sure.   Any kind of ice in or after the evaporator is normally due to low charge with both a clutch-cycling orifice tube system, and a TXV system.
