For those that are new to the "scene", my BRAND NEW two-tone was involved in an accident at 6 days old...
Here's an update...
see the pictures
The insurance company isn't totalling the truck. As you can see in the updated gallery, the truck's front end is fully disassembled. The forward body member between the engine compartment and the bumper has been cut off and will be replaced with a factory new piece. I don't have a list of all the damaged parts but here are most of them...
power steering pump
coolant reservior
super charger cooler
super charger fan, fan clutch
airbox
radiator
abs miscellaneous parts
battery support
hood
both front quarter panels
bumper
bumper mount, driver's side
lower valence
both airbags
passenger and driver seat-belt assemblies
there's a lot more I'm forgetting... The shop hasn't tested the rear differential or the transmission yet. The health of these are yet to be determined. My truck came to a sudden and violent stop from 50 miles an hour... When I got out of the truck, it was still in gear and NOT MOVING. For good reason, I'm concerned...
I'll have the full total tomorrow AM. The truck will be for sale immediately. I will use the offers from people and maybe an appraisal or two to negotiate the proper diminished value settlement with the insurance company. With that $$, I should be back to square one with the new two-tone truck the dealership ordered to replace this one since they promised me the same "deal" as last time (which was only two weeks ago, mind you...)
Take it easy...
