  1. He said he tried to order a red one :dunno: and was told he needs a v.i.n. #. Maybe it was for color. His rear bumper was rolled. His truck was red but not victory red. I think he was legit. I was just wondering if you need a v.i.n. to buy parts and if will trace back to you.

  2. Somebody approached me in a parking lot and asked me if he could use my v.i.n. # to order a bumper cover for his Silverado. Caught off guard, I said I don't care. But I have a couple of issues with that. Will it be on my Carfax? Why would he need a v.i.n. # if anyone can buy one?

  3. um.. need a little more information.. ?

     

    like.. while your idling, driving, how fast, under throttle.. etc..

     

    were you able to tell kind of where its coming from ?? is it associated with turning any devices on in the cab ? ( radio, onstar, climate control, cruise etc etc..)

     

    if it smells like "belt" I would check your serp.. maybe a bad tensioner ?? yours could be slipping under throttle.. :dunno:

     

    Just a stab in the dark...

     

     

    Good luck

     

     

    Thanks, probably the tensioner. And my battery is borderline bad when load tested for 5 seconds. I'll get that checked out.

  4. I had severe grub problems for the past 5 years but this was my first year of lawn coming back. I used Grub-ex once and was not happy with the results (I know it takes time for it to work).

     

    Do you care to use chemicals?

    If not, just blast those bums with a load of Grub-ex like stated. Not only will it kill the grubs, but spread its chemicals all over the lawn and those Moles will get sick and die (depends on time; could be few weeks and their gone, could be a few years to develop cancer in their systems).

     

    I do not apply any chemicals to my lawn for my dogs sake.

     

    If you want to go the organic way, use Milky Spore. This is what I wished I had used a few years back.

    Good point. I have dogs.

  5. Sometimes I'll smell a burning smell and it will go away. Has anybody else experienced this? It smells like a supercharger belt but I don't have one. Vague description, but we all have the same trucks.

  6. post-15344-1254110143_thumb.jpg My church is decorating our trucks for a Halloween party. The truck is supposed to be church friendly and not scary to little ones, and engage the kids in some way. Someone else is doing a popcorn popper and movie theme. I wanted to do something Hawaiian because I like it and I already have Hawaiian carpets down. My wife wants to put sand in it and that's not going to happen. I'm looking for any ideas to trick this truck for Halloween. It's an '03 red SSS. This is going to be a fun project. I am open to any ideas. What ideas do you have?
  7. After reading about the truck thefts on the site, I decided it was time to upgrade my security. Ziebart installed the Pursuit that's made by Audiovox. The key fob arms and starts the truck from a quarter mile away, and lets you know it's armed or started or if the alarm is going off. They did a detail on it also. So I pick up the truck and it still has white specks on the driver's window that's been there for two weeks and I thought they would clean it off. The white specks turned out to be gouges in the glass. So I thought back to when I first noticed them, which was two weeks ago. Rewind two weeks ago Friday, I pull up to my house in my Neon at 11:30 p.m. My truck is parked out front. On the other side of the street where no one ever parks is a grey Taho, engine off, lights off, and a guy sitting in it. Thinking it was weird, I held my lights on him for a couple of seconds to see who he was. Small neighborhood. Everybody knows everybody. One way in and out. Did I keep going and turn around to get a plate number? No, I didn't. Now I think he was waiting for his buddy who was probably beating on my window before I pulled up. I have to buy a window and tint. It would have been nice to think about getting a plate number. What if I would have found my family tied up with no one to take my anger out on. If something looks weird, check it out.

  8. damn man that sucks, sorry to hear what happened. I think a security section is a great idea. We better make it so only members can see it though, whats the point of a security section if everyone can see it... Good luck with all the insurance co. hassle youre gonna have to go through now

     

     

    "Make it so only members can see." You got your thinking cap on.
