7250! Glad to hear your truck will be fixed as well! lol

 

Keep the guesses coming. I will say some of you are really close. And thanks for all the compliments. I do have to say , to my surprise both the insurance company and the dealership working this have been awesome!!! That being said...the manager at the place said that since they gotta tear apart the front suspension anyway to inspect it, if I wanted to swap out any parts for aftermarket ones I could do so without having to worry about labor costs!! So since we all know our front ends suck, I what would you all suggest for replacements? And where can I get them the cheapest?

 

Oh and on a side note, he also said that he couldn't believe that I had 108,000 miles on her. For an 05 that spent its whole life in Ohio he would have thought it had maybe 50k miles tops. Makes you feel good when professionals take the time to show you how impressed they are with how well you keep your vehicle. For the mechanics that love their job, it makes them take more pride in what they are doing for you because they know any extra little thing they do or effort they put in to making her perfect again not only won't go to waste but is very well appreciated. I'd love to give you more details on why they are doing, but it might give away the total cost. So I will leave you with this pic a buddy sent me the other day that I think most of you will get a laugh out of cuz you know it's true!!!

Rock auto, autoanything, etc. Go aftermarket for sway bar end links, ball joints, struts, heck control arms too if they are replacing.

 

If your getting a new set of taillights out of the deal I could really use the passenger side in Bermuda black! Let me know if your able to get a new pair ill buy the passenger side. Mines been cracked for years now just didn't want to spend 300 for a new set.

 

Ok I will say that they are replacing the tail lights, I'm pretty sure they can only be bought as a pair and I am making sure to keep anything that gets replaced, so yeah if I end up with a new set I'd be happy to sell you the one that comes off. Truth is, I put them on about 2 months ago, so it still like new. Shipping included, how much is it worth to ya? PM me. (Btw, this goes for anything that gets replaced that is still in good shape, and all proceeds will go to the "Save The Dak" or STD fund. Which will be covering the cost of my deductible and the fact that I'm paying for my rental out of pocket. )

 

Oh man, you have a busted up truck and an STD? That must have been one hell of a ride!

 

I've never been accused of not having a sense of humor

 

Wow, I finally got my baby back! i cannot begin to tell you what an amazing job the shop did on my truck. She is definitely looking better than ever! If any of you have any last-minute guesses on how much the total cost was now is your chance. I will be announcing the winner on Monday.
