*NEW* TBSS stall...need to pay an insurance deductible :/
$160 shipped + PP fees (if used). That'll almost exactly get my the money back that I spent on it several weeks back.
Had a piece of aluminum that was ripped off of a semi trailer end up on the road, and IT ended up in my windshield
. There was a guy in another pickup pulling a trailer doing about 70 on the interstate in the right lane; I was doing about 75 in the left lane just about to overtake the guy, and his tire kicked this lovely chunk of metal into my truck. 
It's no one's fault that was directly involved; hoping to recover the loss from whoever owns that piece of aluminum. About 6 inches to the left (from the front), and I probably wouldn't know my *** from a hole in the ground, LMAO. So until then, I get to un-*** $500 to get my truck out of the shop. 
Long story, my apologies...but I had to throw in an explanation for the pics.

Sorry to hear about the crap luck man. I hope you're okay. Stuff like that on the road always freaks me out. I was driving along the other day and saw a framing hammer in the road. About an hour or so after that I saw a jackstand in the middle of a fairly busy highway. I've had vehicles in front of me kick **** up and have it land on my truck. Sucks.

That's what we lightly keep referring to, lol. Insurance company was given all info about the tag that the DPS officer gave me. If they don't somehow recover the damages, I'm going to sue for damages to the truck. I don't want to deal with that crap though.

Frik that could have been worse. How will this compare to a regular old Trailblazer stall convertor? Higher stall since it's from a faster truck? Lower since it comes from a vehicle with more torque? Cash in hand...
