towing specifications for 2006 Silverado 4x4 lift repo problem ?
Without going into a much longer story, I started to talk
to neighbors who saw a tow truck hooking up to the back end
of my 4x4 Silverado and tow it away, then later bring it
back and leave it where I found it. I have not found out
the reasons for any of this yet, but one neighbor suggested
they took the wrong pickup and hadn't realized it right
away. I cannot adequately describe the feelings I had
about all this. It was pouring down rain, as it has been
doing for several days here, and I could not get underneath
it to check if there were any damage to the new dual
exhaust I'd just put on it, and I was so sick because of it
all, I missed Thanksgiving dinner too. Not to mention being
afraid to even drive it.
I took pictures of the position of the truck. It's front
wheels were turned to about 30 degrees. They would have
been straight when I parked it. It was also left in auto
four wheel drive by me, as I'd been driving it in that
range due to the street water collection here. It was
still in that range when I drove it to the store to get
medicine for my headache. I did not hear or feel any
noticable difference when I drove that short distance, and
thats all I've driven it.
My concern is that with todays astounding incompetence
levels that some $8 and hour tow truck driver may have
really damaged this vehicle by towing it improperly.
Wouldn't they have had to disconnect the transfer case at
least, if leaving the front wheels on the ground and towing
from the rear? Wouldn't they have had to get inside the
vehicle to take it out of gear? It was still locked when I
went to use it. Would they have used an air bag to pry
open the door far enough to get inside?
-It may not have been the apartment management at all. It could have been a
repo company that hooked up to the wrong truck!
-The repo guys I know don't contract with anyone. They have there own tow
rigs. Some of them are VERY unique. Like a Caddy
