  1. They got her... Stolen

    Nothing good to report. Insurance paid her out. I feel a I got a fair settlement. I wish I could say I am going to replace her with another one. But I will most likely jump over to another SS just not a truck. This situation left me sour when it comes to trucks especially in H town. Maybe in the future when I retire and move. I will be putting up a few parts I had collected for sale soon.

    My beautiful 06 Intimidator SS was stolen today. Worst part I know exactly where it's at ( due to a Dronemobile GPS alarm) but the police say they can not go onto the property unless they or I can physically see it. It was all stock with factory model correct rims. This feeling sucks.

    I do see some questionable things like why is the air bag dark gray instead of matching the interior color?  Why is it sitting on stocker wheels with no center caps?  If it was a theft recovery you'd think they woulda swiped the leather seats, etc.

    I say the truck was in an accident by the last owner. Front bumper looks tweaked and the front airbag might have activated. Stocker wheels where replacements for rims the truck had before it was traded in.

    they said they were already selling it at a loss at 10K. Claimed they had 10,800 in it already. No way right.

    I can guarantee you, if that truck was taken in as a trade. They have no more than $2500 into it.

     

    It is an okay price. But I would not offer more than 7.5k honestly

    I think a List should be started!!!

     

    I am down for a rear set. truck already has a factory front and other manufactures make a front one that works, if someone wanted to change it out. It's the rear one that is difficult to make work with girdles and certain exhaust setups.

    The guy I spoke with at Hotchkis said he would call me Monday/Tuesday with more accurate information on what is available and what he can do for us.

    That's what I'm talking about. I am definitely in if they can produce a set. The rear bar is the same as the Tahoe/Suburban one, so it shouldn't be difficult to piece together a rear set. It is just if Hotchkis wants too.

    It was Tonys (NorcalSS) DJM kit with Belltech shocks and DJM upper control arms. Was shooting for a 2/3 and see what it looked like.

     

    To start off they didn't measure the truck before they started to have baseline measurements. They didn't mark the torsion bar adjust bolt,before they removed the torsion bar. So when the truck was dropped they just put the bolt back to whatever they believe it was. They didn't use all the parts included in the kit ie washers on the upper ball joint, said stuff wasn't needed. Many many bolts and nuts either way to tight or not tight enough. Used impact wrench where they shouldn't have. Didn't torque down anything. Control arm bolts super tight.

     

    Was told that they couldn't align the truck properly due to the DJM upper control arms. Who knows if that's even the problem
