That sucks. Probably the fault of a badly worn wheel bearing. At least you have full coverage.

Lets see some pics!

....And make sure they use factory Mopar parts!

Glad to hear you weren't hurt. Did you have to throw both your pants and underwear away?

1+++ And make sure you fight hard to make sure that your truck goes to a body shop that knows their way our trucks.
Happened to me when I had my wreck in mine. I took it to a Chebby dealership. When i got it back, I had nothing but problems out of it for a year.
Half the wiring harness was left unplugged, blown A/C compressor, and many more.
