Well, when I came out from work, there is a indention on the passenger side of my truck where it looks like someone bumped into it and ran. I was really pissed after that, but I was wondering if there was something I can do to "pop" the dent out. Someone told me to use a plunger. Hopefully I can get thing thing fixed. Thanks for any help.

Look in your telephone book for the phone number of "Dent Wizard" or a similar outfit. I have to give them credit for their ability to remove dents. Bill in NY

I had a body shop do paintless dent removal on a similar dent on my Dak. They only charged like $65, and I couldn't find any evidence after they were done. IF you're not a body specialist, I wouldn't advise trying to do it yourself. That has always cost me more in the long run.

I have seen a plunger work on a large dent on an older K5 Blazer on the center of one of the doors. Pulled it right out and you couldn't even tell it was there. Thats my 2 cents.

I've used plungers before to take dents out on vehicles with some success but it will only work if the dent is bigger than the plunger, good luck.

You can use a cheapo toilet plunger to pull the dent if the dent is not on a body crease, but is on a relatively flat panel.
Ensure the plunger size is smaller than the dented area. Clean the area with soap and water to make sure there is no dirt that will scratch your paint. Spray some water on the panel to help seal the plunger for maximum suction. Center the plunger in the dented area. Pull the pluger quickly, but not with tons of force. You don't want to pull so hard you make change the dented area to a bumped out area.
Good Luck!
