sorry to see that hopefully they don't try and claim total loss on it another thing you could to if touu wanna replace with aftermarket is find your parts you want and bring them in save you the mark up anyways. shops hate it but when it comes right down to it the customer is always right

Why does it matter how much it costs if you have insurance? Pay your deductible and get the best parts your insurance will pay for. If you want some aftermarket stuff...like everyone else said, let them know now.

If your lucky it will be totaled out, and then you can get a nicer truck.

Thanks man. I'm looking into finding body parts cheaper so i can get a ram air hood or at least the scoop like you and a few other have. The body shop I have it at is awesome.

I've been buggin the **** out of my adjuster and insurance company, the auto body guys are great. He pretty much doesn't care what I want to do with it.

Got a call from my auto body guy. He told me the adjuster says he wants to total it out and call it 60% dmg because if they do that my insurance company will be able to make their money back parting it out....they can kiss my ***. As soon as I called my insurance company I told them I refuse to total it, and they are never going to part it out. We'll see where it goes from here.
