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.....

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      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.

      cam upgrade in CA

      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.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

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

      286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔
