I'm going to test my battery, seems as though my cranking amps are low. last I checked it's the GM battery in there... 4 years with only 40,000 km's on it, the truck sat alot IMO and may not have helped the battery any.

I'll grab a video tomorrow lol.
I hear ya on that one! Mine builds up magical amounts of backpressure overnight in the cold. When command starting I've seen it lurch forward close to 4 inches then roll back again. Remind me not to park close to someone. lol.

X2 to that. The annoying squeaking of my suspension from my add-a-leafs has been replaced by "BANG BANG" when going over bumps...

Well just now I broke something

I have one of those white FM Ipod adapters and it stopped working all of a sudden. I unplugged it, and when I did it took a piece of the outlet with it.

The other piece of the outlet fell back behind where it should be (I'm talking about the one in the fold down ash tray/storage place. So I'm not really sure how I'm going to fix this. Might have to take the whole dash off and get that tray off somehow. Siiiiggghhhh

Will inspect the damage in the morning. Only good thing: apparently there is a light that lights up that ash tray thing. Until now it has never worked. It just came on when the outlet broke. !?!? Ughhh, weird.

Happy Holidays/Merry Christmas everyone!!

Got in a crash yesterday. Happy birthday me!

Came up no an unmarked intersection doing about 35kph and another driver doing about the same speed came from the right and we collided. Only thing, she was coming out of a parking lot, and I was on a marked street. Should be her at fault and her insurance to fix it.

I hit front right to her front left. Would have hit straight on but I turned before impact. The bushguard headlight guard got slammed into the fender and dented it bad. The impact caused the hood to bend on the opposite side. My bumper is wrecked and the bushguard brackets are bent. The bushguard and corner of my painted grille is scratched.

The headlight guard did save the headlights and grille from getting any damage. Would have surely been mangled without it.

I'll try to get a picture later. -20 and blizzarding right now, over a foot of snow today.

Glad you're ok though. Maybe you can make it better than ever with the insurance money. I know if someone trashed my hood, I'd be eying a cowl hood
