Thanks,

My moms blazer is has a chunk of paint off the rear bumper.
Bad thing i seen it happen
I didnt see the dent until i took a closer look cause the rear is covered in mud
What a nice day &*^$^&%#%$#%*##%$#&
Have your made the arrangements yet?
I can't imagine how you feel, though I have experienced comparable loss.
When will the services be?
If there is anything I can do, please let me know.
It's tough to lose your dad, especially when you strangle him yourself! LOL
Think I'll go cry in a beer.

No problem....info is free....not same for those dam manuals....
Meant to ask you... what do you do for a living in Hawaii?
txyank1 where can I get that? And only 20 bucks? How does it work and is it easy to install?
add body filler. Unfortunately they will have to paint it for the scratch.
I had a the same thing done on my 2001 and my old 1997 truck. The results were nothing
short of amazing.

Here is the blazers damage (pic didnt come out good sorry). Also the tail light and some of the paint under the tail light is messed up
Heres my truck right under the tail light. Dont think wax will get that out. Also my tail light is messed up (wish i had the tail light guards on)
Heres the rear quarter panel. The black plastic part of the bumper is also all scraped and scuffed up but you cant tell. I dont care to much about that

Drop me an email...it's in my profile.
I put the 3M invisible bra where you have the dent. It wouldn't have helped, but no stone damage either.
Anyway...good luck.
Tom
good luck on this on now!
.....BTW check email. )
Oh well monday or tuesday ill let you know what the scoop is from the bodyshop.
yeah right, it was more like a 1.5" gash.
I had some stone chips as well, so I had both sides quoted.
Ryan,
My condolences buddy... hope you make out OK at the body shop this week.

May look into some of the other stuff they sell. BTW, the build quality is no comparison. Sure wished I'd heard of these guys sooner....would have saved myself $150.00.
How did the search turn out for Hunter dealers in your area?

The search for the GSP turned out to be good. There is actually quite a few within 4-10 miles from my home. Thanks much for the link.
buy your pappy a pair of glasses.......LOL
Cost - $??....Can't remember....
Hi beams.....why spend the $$ for new bulbs that are not burned out?....if must spend money on Beam...make it Jim..
Good Luck on this one now!

Deduct the damage from your room & board ! What, you say, your folks are still feeding and housing you for free ? (just kidding...no offense).
Seriously, you may want to consider explaining what happened to your insurance agent & asking if it makes sense to file a claim or not. No harm in asking (don't just automatically assume that your insurance will go up - the agent should tell you).
And most important, be happy that your Dad is still around & hopefully will be so long enough for you both to look back on this some day & laugh about it (I bet he feels worse about it than you do).
Good Luck

.....in this case there may be 2 premiums that go up....both in the same house!
I know when I ordered my 2001 I found a lot of info on build weeks, phone #s to call, etc. The way the board is set up now I can't find these posts.
Can someone sort of summarize how he can go about finding out when and where and the build week. Thanks.

$258 to repair the dent and scratches. They have to remove the bumper and fender flare. They are only painting from the crease (under the z71 sticker) down. Not a bad price. Also they will have my truck for a day and a half. Probably take it in thursday
My dad took my moms into the chevy dealer they want $409 :0
They found a dent we didnt see and the bumper needs to be painted. I am taking it to the place i took my truck tomorrow. Hopefully they can paint the bumper and do paintless dent removal under the tail light unlike the chevy dealer they were gonna pound it out and paint :0
Oh well itll be fixed soon!
oh yea as far as insurance the deductable is $250 so its not being claimed. My dad talked to insurance this morning dont know the details except they (dad) are paying for the damage.
"And most important, be happy that your Dad is still around & hopefully will be so long enough for you both to look back on this some day & laugh about it (I bet he feels worse about it than you do). "
Im not mad about it or angry with him. I actually did laugh the day it happened.

My other Silverado's parking brake pedal goes 1/2 way down and holds much better. But, it is a 2500 and has different brakes.

What does this translate to power wise? Is the lower number more power or vice versa?
What would be the best for normal driving most of the time?
Thanks for the help/
The 3.42's are fine for all around driving. Especially with the 5.3 engine. 3.73's give slightly better off the line acceleration, better to get under way with a load or when towing, better in hilly terrain with only slightly lower mpg. 4.10 for serious work. My opinion. I don't haul or tow and have always had the 3.42's.
