Topper with kennel and two big dogs in back. Couldn't see too well to notice. I don't use any one method I've never backed into anything before like this but too late. Oops is all I can say
I know I almost put the receiver I had in straight onto the pole. I'd have been happier. Wasn't going fast at all but using mirrors not camera.... damn park sensors didn't go off till it hit.
No it's gonna get fixed. But I had high deductible when it's my fault. I'm sure like a 3k insurance job.
Priced out parts it's not bad at all. I expected much worse. Only 270 for a painted bumper from Dodge, 479 for a painted to match tailgate from eBay, new emblems and a tailgate cap probably...
I can't believe I just did this.
Backing up to get into a drive through at the bank, old telephone pole I completely didn't see. And well F***
Almost hit the pole dead on with the hitch which would've taken the entire hit. But no just to the side.
Exactly how I felt finding it. But I'd rather see a small torquey diesel in an offroad styled truck which is why the Colorado zr concept actually appealed to me. Unfortunately that's still not a reality either

Everyone needs to reference this page to understand the mechanical limitations of the Turbo and the GDE tune dynamics.
The hardware section features Turbo size limitations
But that's because GDE actually took the time to understand mechanical limitations of the motor for power. The Turbo is too small for significant gains. Hence why their focus is clean economical and well sounded with slight power and mileage gains vs advertising huge power gains they cannot deliver.
The reference about too much fuel and not being burned off until reaching the exhaust is more so in reference to piggyback tunes like banks where they are only increasing fuel rail pressures to provide excess fuel and in turn power. That's when there is secondary combustion after the cylinder...
That's because diesel Burns hotter and longer than gasoline.
The Ecodiesel is a higher temperature and totally different dynamic engine than the Ecoboost. Hence why your kids never see those temps.
