Im not really willing to buy another truck. My truck is exactly the way I wanted it. When I bought it it had a brand new vp, already had an intake, has a hd tcase special ordered from dodge, 3.55 gearing, and the tranny and diffs just has been service And a new clutch was put in. Technically i'm the 2nd owner of this truck too. The guy I got it from had Just bought it because he's a cummins nut and his wife said too many trucks and to sell it.

well my dad has a hood and might have fenders that would work for you. they will need painted to match. Just buy a billet grill as finding a good factory one is a waste.

Yeah considering my airbags didn't go off it could have been alot worse for me and the passengers. Me and the fiance are still hurting pretty bad and probably going to go back to get looked at again. My back has been killing me and my knees are feeling like sandpaper is inbetween the bones. She's having trouble with her back, knee and hip. Hopefully Just still really sore. Its no fun being a diesel tech with a bad back and knees haha

12 days after I first bought my truck I t-boned a guy at 45MPH. :s: Even after I hit him I was still doing 30MPH. These trucks are like tanks. Anyways I had the same damage you did and my frame was diamond shaped by a tiny bit. I was lucky my truck was almost totaled, but I was able to fix it. Still drive her every day. hopefully everything works out for ya :c:

You might ask the boys insurance about a small segment. All so the boy will have to pay for your truck. Most insurance will cut you a check that way you can not come back on them.

if you dont have full coverage your insurance wont pay you for your damages. if the accident was the other drivers fault then their insurance is responsible. as for fixing yours, think about buying a donor truck. thats is what i did, i bought a whole truck with a bad motor did a complete body change, saving a ton of spare parts for later, parting out what i dont need and scrapping whats left. scrap metal is around $200 a ton. i am actually going to make money on my body swap and end up with a really nice truck.

Well the insurance company called it totaled. Claiming over 8000 in damages. Now the little punk and his insurance need to get their shit together so I can start rebuilding.
