So this 82 year old lady hit me today. Her fault, ticket given... But wondering what cost and the extent of damage they will fix before total. I'm not worried about the bed, already had that replaced from another lady backing into the same spot, but more wondering about the damage to the cab. Any experience out there? 2017 Z71 5.3 Double Cab.839ebd713b70297fd7b89a0a1fa9ae2e.jpg00ab36f2c805130b270a3fa08bdc0d9f.jpgf6bd31dab63f599259636fe0e6ca1668.jpg

Mine from a few years ago. Originally, this still didn't even total the truck. It wasn't until they realized the transmission was burnt up from the fluid loss and the engine running trying to keep warm in the winter until help arrived.8c32fd04298e90f8bb6b69f424ad0f8f.jpgd94f50c668c14c3b53efe40bcfae4399.jpgfbea23c60f2bfcf56bbbdaf999f51c92.jpg23099c9f86948fbef279e283d29ee61a.jpg7c223269c5a92ea0a420032c0f64a865.jpg5d4eefbeb4f1bd715fa626856d37b2bb.jpga198d65f40dff4baef1382e7d8c3eeb3.jpgeba9f38ad46314736397ac9fa3317462.jpg06045acdd2fac56f622636c44da3d730.jpg4b1dc6fecfd69d8a56eca013ad817caf.jpg

You should be fine as long as the frame isn’t bent. This was mine from a few years ago and they fixed it like newfa50324b59fd295e36bc3a75d8052099.jpg

Like I said though if the frame is bent they will total it. This was from last November so now I’m in a 2018 1debf3821dc263dfedab2fbe7a289803.jpgecd7f20453cb38b30a29c5b70a458bbb.jpgbdcc368cba8c7b04034c6b97140d9e29.jpg

Not always true, it will depend on the insurance company. I was involved in an accident last year, and they completely replaced my frame with a brand new one which cost them a great deal of money to replace.

Hope they also ticketed her for driving with her handicap permit hanging from the rear view... 

 

Sure wish states would make those permits a little bit bigger so there would be no chance of the driver accidentally seeing something around them...

Looks close to be called "totaled," but if not, make sure that you get your frame straightened.  My '15 was totaled because there was no way to repair the damage done to the front left suspension and frame.  Axle, A-Arm, strut, were all still in the wheel/tire, under my truck.  Left fender was accordion-ed into the driver's door jam.  Door hinges had to be opened beyond their range, to get me out.  I think even the left engine mount(s) were broken.

Sorry, but I think 82 is old enough for her to turn in her keys.
I agree, she was confused when telling the officer where she was coming from. Telling him she was making a right on red, really want comprehending.

I hope you're joking. Unless you're confusing some of the replies' pics with the OP's. OP's looks like maybe $5k in body work? Definitely not totaled on a $30k 2 yr old truck...

3-5k in body work at the most. Nothing a few tubs of Bondo and a little sheet metal work can't patch up. A good body guy should be able to blend that so only a good eye can tell it has been patched up.

I agree, I think some people are mixing up the OP's damage and some others'...I would say $2k-$3k tops (depending on your labor). I am in NC and labor isn't that expensive (yet). My wife swiped a drive-thru post in almost the same spot. It only caused about 1/3 of the damage of yours but mine was only $700 to fix. Was she parking or backing out of a parking space?

Man, you need to find better parking spaces...........

 

Shakey

This is why I always park at the farthest away parking spot not near ant other cars. If the lot is full I park somewhere else and hoof it.

I'm very adamant about this to the point of avoiding lots if I can. I'll walk a block before I park by other cars. Way too many inconsiderate assholes out there that couldn't care less about your nice truck and bang into it then drive away. Really pisses me off.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Here's a starter kit:    CC Jensen, a Danish oil testing Concern gives us the following guidelines:   ISO 14/12/10 Very Clean Oil ISO 16/14/11 Clean Oil ISO 17/15/12 Lightly Contaminated ISO 19/17/14 New Oil ISO 22/20/17 Very Contaminated and not suitable for any service.   In addition CC Jensen gives a table showing how engine life is increased by cleaning up the oil. For example cleaning the oil from 19/17/14 to 13/11/8 will extend motor life by a factor of 6X.   But even cleaning it two “Life Extension Classes” will double motor life. So perhaps giving those classes would be useful:   21/19/16 20/18/15 19/17/14 18/16/13 17/15/12 16/14/11 15/13/10 14/12/9 13/11/8   *************************************   https://testoil.com/program-management/setting-iso-cleanliness-targets/   Third paragraph from the bottom will give a starting point.    Your next question should be, okay 10um at what Beta ratio and the answer is in the graph Beta 75.   Then the next question is what is your chosen filters profile? (Purolator PL series below) The red dot is Beta 75. This was the information I obtained from MANN a few years ago. So the best filters, Purolator One, AMSOIL EA, FRAM Ultra, Royal Purple, Bosch Premium should get a doubling engine life over filters like Purolator L, any service filter from any quick lube, WIX, NAPA, STP, Mobil 1, Purolator BOSS.    And as noted by CC Jensen a 2-5 micron @ Beta 200 bypass system has the capability of a six fold improvement. AMSOIL has such a system as does Donaldson.       Now having said all that testing is the touchstone. Test the oil NEW and test it with your chosen filter. Then test over milage. Do the work, get the result. But understand this in NOT absolute BECAUSE this is one factor in isolation.   Example:    A valve spring supplier can state that with cam X and a valve train of Y grams the valves will not float to 7K rpm. is that true if the builder choose a system 20 grams over limit? Common sense must be used and limits understood.

      This doesn't look like a GM truck. Not needed on a HD truck

      It varies a ton around me. Some places are still at $5.00 or higher and others are way down into the $4's.   Offroad diesel was $4.02 at the one station I passed today.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Hdwrguy · Posted

      So after reading the reveal from Chevrolet, I kept asking myself...why did the trim levels change?   Here are the official ones:   Work Truck (WT): The quintessential fleet truck, built with durable, easy-to-clean interiors for commercial or utilitarian use. Custom: A stylish, road-oriented trim that adds a more refined appearance, standard dual exhaust, and modern exterior styling. Custom Trail Boss: An entry-level off-roader featuring a 2-inch factory suspension lift and 34-inch mud-terrain tires on a budget. Silverado: Serving as the new base consumer truck (replacing the previous LT trim), it comes standard with the Z71 off-road package when equipped with 4WD. Trail Boss: Steps up the off-road hardware with the 2-inch lift, 34-inch tires, monotube shocks, an exclusive off-road hood, and more premium interior options. ZR2: The flagship off-roader. It boasts 35-inch mud-terrain tires, Multimatic DSSV dampers, front and rear electronic lockers, forged carbon-fiber interior accents, and an available hardcore Bison Edition (co-developed with AEV). High Country: The pinnacle of luxury. It replaces bright chrome with modern satin chrome, 22-inch wheels, premium leather, real wood interior trim, a panoramic sunroof, and an exclusive front-passenger touchscreen. As others have stated, why would you want a Silverado - 'Silverado' - wth?? LT needs to remain!!!   Also, there will no longer be a dedicated Z71 model.  All 4x4 trucks will have the Z71 package. Carplay is also something that cannot be removed.  Hopefully it will remain.     I am excited about the 5.7L V8 (350 C.I.D.)  Old school Chevy power.  My only concern is whatever version of AFM/DFM cylinder deactivation.  Too bad that isn't an option a buyer can choose to have or not.   I will definitely be stopping by my local dealership when these trucks start showing up.
