Has your truck ever.....

[caminokid]

Removed its own dents?

I had a dent in my right door on my 87. I thought about it today went out to pull it out with a shop grade suction cup dent puller...and it was gone. Like it never had a dent. I called my nephew Jason and asked him if I was losing my mind. He said yeah there was a dent there. I told him it was gone and he said you sure didnt pull it already? I know I didnt...and there would have been a mark there if I did.

The trucks name now is Christine.

I'm hoping for a rust Genie.

[Flyin Sparkplug]

now if my truck would do that, we'd certainly be getting some where lol, a rust genie would be quite nice to...

[Country Cadillac]

It'd be nice if my truck put its own fuel pump in.

Never had that happen with a truck...did have it happen with our old 88 Chevy Caprice though. Dad backed into it with the tractor and blade, leaving a fair size dent in the passenger side door. About a month later the dent popped itself out. There was still some minor creasing and damaged paint, but the dent, for the most part, was gone.

id say it was a temp change.....that would be my educated guess ...if i was educated lol.....heck it s out and you didnt have to do it......yeeeeee haaaaaaawwww///or caminokid are you running a flux capacitor ?????? lol

[old Rusty C10]

i stopped by your place and did it you will get a bill later

[knightlife]

I wish my truck would drop itself!

[lurch115]

lol i wish my 327 out of the Massey combine would rebuild itself into an 8,000 rpm motor and jump in my shortbox!!


man that would be sweet!

That's self healing. Mine's slowly going the other way

[89 crew]

Mine did just the opposite! I pulled a dent out of the passenger rear door on the 90 burb. about a year later I'm walking past it and WTF!!! it's back! I finally get the time open the door up, push the door back out, 6 months later, it's back! I figure the burb must like the dent so I have left it alone since.

[manimal]

I'd have to agree with the temp change idea.????? But that would have to mean your truck seals very good!
Looks like a job for.................................

[rod86]

thats happend before to me - had a car come into work for a new doorskin - 2 days later i open up the workshop and get the cars out and start work on one car, bring the other in with dent in door to work on and the dent was gone??? so i asked the boss wtf is goin on an he just gave me a blank look of ummm wtf??? sure was strange...

[Rooster's82]

hasn't anyone told you that there is no such thing as a "rust fairy" "dent removal claus" or the "fuel pump bunny", you people are such children, grow up!

[rod86]

but it seriously did happen...

[Rooster's82]

Actually, i have heard that in the southern hemisphere dents pop out on there own, i think it has something to do with the water going down the drain in the opposite direction.

[Russell]

My 80's old boxside used to bow in or out depending on the weather. It was a significant dent too, you could hear it bang from inside the house when it got colder outside at night.

[babyJay]

Mine majically acquires dents when I'm at work. Patiently waiting for it to paint it's self tho....

[killthewabbit]

It was me. I'm a ninja.




You're welcome.

[andresco50]

Awesome that your truck can do that she doesn't want dents

[f.monroe]

Sounds like a NetFlix commercial to me ...........If a dent pops out of a door on a Chevy in Illinois .........a Ferd falls off a cliff in Arizona . I will be curious to see if it comes back next winter .

when i first got my truck the ds window would take forever to roll up. it really took some effort and pulling. i lithium greased the crank and regulator and it hasn't given me grief in months.

same deal with my 3 speed on the floor tranny. even the shortest trips would be stressful when the gears would lock up and buck and chuck down the road. i coated the linkage with lithium grease and that hasn't happened in months either. my truck had sat undriven for 8 mos before i had bought it. just lithium greasing her and driving her pretty regular has cured a lot of it's earlier ailments.

if i get a dent i think i'll just spray some lithium grease on it and watch it magically disappear.

I'll bet if you lightly push in where the dest 'was', it'll pop in and out....it's called "oil canning".
Metal has memory, so if a dent doesn't have any stressed areas around it (creases), they generally pop right back out and require no additional bodywork.
