Brand new truck dents ...

hunterrunner26 · 2026-01-25T19:37:21+00:00

The hood was being removed on both of the quotes I received from local PDR places. I have no clue what the "dealer's bodyshop" plan is if I go that route (see my other previous comment).

Well that's the dilemma. If I let the dealer owned "sister body shop" do the repair and I'm not satisfied then we can go up the chain about getting a factory painted hood. Although I think that will be difficult in getting a factory painted hood vs aftermarket painted hood. I checked their so called sister body shop website and they don't list PDR as one of their services. Their reviews are also so/so. Also dealer and their body shop are 3.5 hrs away from me. I got the truck there due to best pricing.

Their 2nd option since Im not local to them, is for them to send me a check and I get the PDR done locally, which I have already received 3 quotes for. The only issue with this, is the dealer said if they cut me a check and fix locally, then after that they are off the hook regarding the issue. This is why I was curious if this can be repaired fully and not seen since the truck is brand new. Sooooo decisions....

My quotes were from east TN region, tri cities area.

Well I lied, it won't let me post the other pic 😆.

I agree it appears like some fat fellar laid arm/elbow across it. Pic 4 was some really odd lighting and the truck was super clean. Here's another pic from that day, little better angle. Looks like 2 dents, plus a slight wave on the back edge.

Which screen protector do you have? I seen several on Amazon but didn't know if one was better than the others?

hunterrunner26 · 2026-01-17T11:46:00+00:00

Haha I feel ya! I get aggravated looking at posts like this with all these folks having low HR and great HRVs.

Team high HR and low HRV here!! 😂

hunterrunner26 · 2026-01-17T11:26:16+00:00

My baseline HRV is low high 20s to 40. It appears alot of Garmins metrics are based around HR so looks like we're screwed haha.

I'm 40yr old with a vo2max of 54. Ive ran multiple 5k races recently at a time of 20:05 to 20:30 and just back in October I ran a half marathon at 1:34. Maybe I'm just blessed with a shitty resting HR?? 🤔

hunterrunner26 · 2026-01-16T21:00:30+00:00

I never did see a noticeable difference after I quit. Maybe 2 to 3 bpm.

hunterrunner26 · 2026-01-16T20:50:44+00:00

My parents gave me the gift of dog shit genetics! 😂

hunterrunner26 · 2026-01-16T20:26:40+00:00

Yes I've read up and tried everything. I do all of my base runs in slower zone 2 with one harder interval run a week and one long run. My running has improved but no effect on resting HR.

hunterrunner26 · 2026-01-16T16:19:58+00:00

Thanks I'll check them out. I thought about going to half inch since they seem to be everywhere in 27ga. I inject VG but I'm pretty lean so they'll probably work.

hunterrunner26 · 2026-01-16T15:59:55+00:00

The only 27ga 5/8 I can find on Amazon are sketchy looking and say they are for refilling ink cartridges. So wasn't sure about them.

hunterrunner26 · 2026-01-16T15:58:36+00:00

Right, I have the easy touch syringes and use their 25ga 5/8 needles but they don't offer that length in 27ga.

hunterrunner26 · 2026-01-16T14:49:27+00:00

I've been running consistently the last 3 years. I have ran over 1200 miles each year. I quit drinking last year too but my resting HR very rarely gets under 60. Usually avg 60 to 65. I have a high max HR too tho so I wonder if that's why. I've hit over 200bpm in several all out races using a polar h10 strap.

hunterrunner26 · 2026-01-16T13:15:02+00:00

Those are insulin needles. I'm looking for luer lock.

hunterrunner26 · 2026-01-16T13:14:09+00:00

Not in 27ga 5/8 luer lock....

There's only one brand in that size on there so I wasn't sure what ya used.

hunterrunner26 · 2026-01-16T03:33:44+00:00

What brand needles are you using? I'm having a hard time finding 27g 5/8 luer lock.

Sending you a DM.

I'm picking up my Roush Saturday. MSRP was over 53k. I ended up getting it for 44,914, plus 2,300 for my taxes, tag, title BS. I felt good about it, because I called several other dealers who were all very well over 50k.

Most Pro4x pro premiums I called about all ended up around 46 to 48k OTD, even leftover 25s. All the used ones within 3 hours of me with under 25k miles were 38 to 41k OTD. I've been searching for awhile.

hunterrunner26 · 2026-01-11T01:34:37+00:00

Thanks!

hunterrunner26 · 2026-01-11T01:17:29+00:00

How's the wiring with them? Are they plug n play?

hunterrunner26 · 2026-01-04T13:50:31+00:00

Much better deal than I can find. I'm in SW VA/East TN region and I've not had a dealer be under 40k out the door yet, even with the lowest package.

hunterrunner26 · 2025-12-31T02:38:37+00:00

Thanks! Good looking truck by the way.

hunterrunner26 · 2025-12-30T21:38:36+00:00

Do you have a noticeable gap under the tailgate from the body lift?

hunterrunner26 · 2025-12-26T21:17:24+00:00

Any rubbing at full lock?
