idk...i had an accident in my truck last year in the winter (went around a sharp corner in a blizzard and went off a 10ft embankment) as i went over this embankment, i swiped a few trees and almost hit a tree head on (God had his hand in front of my truck on that one). the only thing that came of it was a busted power steering pump(with which i had to drive home another 250miles with NO power steering, good thing it was snowing lol) a dented front fender and door, broken turn signal lense, and broken mirror. and i'm still driving it dented up today haha. alls i have to say is thank God for drunk Pennsylvanians that are driving around through a blizzard in the middle of nowhere at 2am haha. they pulled me out with a durango btw haha

So i went and got it checked out and so far the min is 1500 bucks to fix it. Sounds as if its going to be more. So i may end up getting another dodge lol. Pics will be on sometime tonight.

stay under 75% and you will be fine. your truck probably worth aroun 3000-3200, so as long as you stay under...say 2200, you should be ok.

when i got rearended i got almost 2000...they didnt total it.

That should vary state to state. I believe in CA it's 50%.

my cousinn hit the dear in her durango , and they were going to total it , and insurance guy came down and just gave us the money to fix it ourselves ,gave us 4300 and saved labor and got after market bumper,hood,and halo lights , and had enough money left over to buy new tires and shocks and some extra play money , its a good idea to take the money and do it your self

So my plan is get some junk yard fenders(no major dents) have them painted. Install myself and then get a nice sized steel bumper=P
