Got rear ended. Need a list for the shop
- Thread starter oscyjack
- Start date
I'd be a dick and make them pay to have the transfer disassembled and inspected. Does it look like anything is cracked?
Just spoke with cops, they found the ****er or at least his boss. Registered commercial so insurance coverage is hopefully a given.
today is my first good daytime look at her while parked on flat ground, bed isn't square, pushed towards cab on drivers side and doesn't line up with cab. I'll keep y'all posted on how things pan out. If they do total it I'll let you know cuz short of these issues it would be worth a buy back with everything I put into it

Not sure on cracks. I haven't had the time to give a proper look yet.
I'm glad y'all do t think I'm crazy for worrying about the t case in addition to the rest of the list items. I'm going to have them disassemble from t-case back. If they won't due to labor, great reason for a replacement. I'm no pushover, so if it's fixable it will be back to 100% on someone else's dime. Might be a good time for a rear end build

You can fight with them to pay you for the mods since you weren't at fault, or do like I did and take it off. I left my motor and trans and gauges in, wish I would have gotten the gauges now.
That's why I've pinched pennies on mine and just bought what I needed, nothing makes you more sick than totaling something you have 3x the money in than what it's worth.
You can buy extra coverage for mods done to the truck but it obviously raises your premium. I have my trans and front end covered just in case.

New symptom noted. Brake pedal going much further to floor. When pushed past the normal area of resistance there is a groan. Not sure if HB or ps, kinda rattles the dash a litttle. Fluid levels all normal and I can't watch and duplicate at the same time haha
I can't keep one in my truck, my third is on it's way out, got a new psc pump in the garage but I've been two days just changing wheel bearings and pitman/idler again, bouncing back and forth between that and the house and baby room.
Still waiting on your psc review haha.
Who would you guys recommend I order an axle from? I won't have the time to do it myself and no one local to me who I'd trust to do a better job than me. Looking for a new or remanned that I can spray and install without much fuss. Want a truetrac. Stock for the rest should be sufficient unless there are other recommendations. Same question for driveshaft, u joints and slip yoke. Or just OEM for all and find a time later to swap in a truetrac

Something like this with a truetrac would be cool

Still waiting on the truck to be completed. As of now the tailgate is being refinished and squared, bed is getting realiagned, replaced OEM bumper with ICI magnum rear bumper.
Frame was tweaked 6mm, spec is within 3mm. They say it'll straighten up no problem.
Insurance is declining my mechanical part of the claim. Cuz surely frame damage wouldn't indicate enough force to fubar something mechanically. Idiots. Looks like a few arguments will be on the horizon, but at least she'll look sexy til I can take on the insurance company

OP, just reading about the accident in the Traction thread. You have had pretty bad luck the past couple of months with trucks.
yyyip lol. at least it wasn't my truck today and just a rental. I'm starting to hate other drivers, actual hate. The stupidity today is out of hand. "Hey a cloud of drifting snow! I should totally pull out into it right now" If I'd been in my own truck I'd be really pissed, lady was real apologetic though and took the blame so that's good at least.
Within one month btw hahaha.

Distracted driving is a huge problem. Its like everyone is a drunk driver nowadays, and avoiding them is a 24hr job.
Seriously. I think drunk drivers are actually safer because at least they try to drive.
I drove by a dot officer the other day driving with his elbows texting with both hands. I swear I almost laid an egg.

I called our county sheriff office when I saw a deputy texting while driving. Their office told me that they could. I asked them, "Since when were the police above the law?" They didnt especially like that.
I got pulled over by a PA trooper a few months back, he passed me doing 90, I said **** it I'm in a hurry too, I followed him for a few miles then he pulled me over and asked why I was going so fast. I told him he wasn't the only one in a hurry and I didn't see his blue lights on like he had anywhere to be, just figured you were the pace car for those of us that had shit to do.
Somehow I got off with a warning and he said they're not required to use their lights unless in dense traffic or in a high population area.
