Default Crashed my truck on Thursday

Lady ran the intersection on Thursday and Bruticus plowed into her pretty hard. Truck is driveabe and USAA will have it towed to their shop this week. My question is what are some of the key things to have them look for, apart from frame or structure damage. I want the truck gone over with a fine tooth comb, since it has to make trips from SC to FL and I don't want it puking an injector or turbo.

They should look the truck over very well, the more they find the more they get paid to fix it from the insurance company. Where was the truck hit?
