What's up guys. Got T Boned on Thursday. It's at the body shop now. Insurance company is coming out tomorrow. You guys think it's totaled? Guy got me at the frame rail too. c7a42cf08d78e9c4c87d4b2aab0c1aa4.jpgaef396d378cf3ff6ddeb6632a8fdcbd1.jpga3e45eceef48bb80a62ae22750e1d5e6.jpg6acbc5361b6bcc23c4784e81b28877b2.jpg6bd3ccd5bf9b91a8f5ca5a75c78255a3.jpg

I wouldn't trust that frame.

The structural integrity of the vehicle can be fixed but the chances of your insurance company to be will to pay out as much as the body shop will need is unlikely.

 

If it's going to be over 20 grand I bet they will write it off.

 

Also have to consider what got shifted, if the engine moved from its original position there could be more to fix then what you see.

 

How are you after the crash?

Thanks for the reply. I'm actually good. Walked away unharmed. Got lucky. Not a scratch on me.

That's good to hear. Have you gone to the doctor?

After you get in a car crash that you aren't at fault for the other persons insurance will cover for a bunch of benefits.

 

My parents got a orthopedic mattress for no cost. Their insurance covered it under cost of damages

 

I would get checked out, my grandmother got in a crash and said she was fine about 3 days later they found that she had Traumatic injury of the bladder.

Truck took the hit well, but even if Jesus ran a body shop, even after a good hit it will never be the same. You can replace bits, but metal stretches

Depends on year, and value. If it is 2014+ and only has that body work and replacing a frame, it won't be totaled. I hit a pole in a 2014 and had to have the frame replaced and it wasn't totaled. Best of luck.

You pleased with that?

I actually am happy only because I still owe on it. Have over a year of payments into her and really didn't want to start over.

That is a very good point, you never get your money back.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      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.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      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.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      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.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
