Either way it would have hit guard rail. For some reason, coming off that overpass the guard rail goes into the left lane about 6-12 inches.

 

Here are some crappy night pics of the damage

Im more pissed than anything. I was going to take a back road because of construction in the area. I didnt do it because I thought that it wouldnt be bad on a Saturday night. Looking at $800 in parts before prep/paint/install and cab body work. It will be a while before ita back to being nice and shiny. Im glad it hit on the left instead of the truck hitting the right because I had a passenger.

What a dick! Any chance your insurance will cover it

Most likely, but I am not going to use my insurance. I am going to piece it together slowly.

After having tow mirrors for a couple years, the DL8's suck. They are so small. But, I have working mirrors again

Got my Zone 2" blocks installed on the front. I'll do the back next weekend.

Trying to get the second row screen work when the truck starts. Audio only from the dvd. Head over to

To read full issue. Its odd.

 

Puttin around branson. Got 14 mpg from SE of tulsa, east through arkansas ozarks on 412 then north up to branson on E85. Seems decent?

FYI....not really anything to do with twin 1 year olds Branson.

Chris, just confirm you and your passenger were uninjured, (not counting pride). That this was strictly PDO (property damage only???). Sorry to hear it happening to the world's best/most modified truck. I know you'll bounce back better than ever from it. Hang in there! Glad you're OK!

    • This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.
    • I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps. 
    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.
