wow bud -- just tell ya right now you rtruck is totalled (I'm an adjuster) and they likely won't give you anything for your receipts on things that the truck needs to run... basically, if it didn't ahve those things, it woudln't be worth NADA value or wahtever value they use..

good luck getting another truck! Hopefully you had full coverage insurance incase the other ladies insurance tries to deny the claim

good luck and hit me up if you have any questions about how they do a total loss ...

and the salvage will be decent if it runs and drives.. if not -- you should be able to get it back for pretty cheap

no it won't drive the right front wheel won't drive and I won't drive it because the intercooler is cracked as is the radiator. I can't believe they won't give you money for a new injector pump. Oh well.

It's easy to get attached to a truck. At some point they seem like a family member. It's never easy losing one for any reason when they get to that status. I'm glad you're OK.
