So I went off roading today, and for WHATEVER reason I wasn't paying attention to where I was going, and I was heading into a puddle, and I came to an IMMEDIATE stop. I gouged my frame in the front, and there were about 4 guys that said all I really have to worry about is possibly an alignment issue.

..... please say it's nothing bad.....

anytime you damage structural components you should probably take it in and have it checked. just to be sure.

 

i agree with everything nightrider said, but beware, because i dunno if dodge will cover that, especially since they will KNOW you were "abusing" your truck

 

Meh, I'm not looking for them to cover it. I just want to know how bad it is... :-\

 

your front end suspenision is connected directly to the part of the frame that was damaged. it the frame is distorted it could effect how it lines up with the suspension pieces thus effecting the geometry of you suspension. that is no good. but the damage might not have effected the suspension at all. get an alignment check and go from there.

 

proly have to replace that crossmember.

 

How much would something like that prolly cost? :-\

Have ANY idea?

 

no idea on price, sorry.

 

What is that word "prolly"? Do you mean "probably"? Sorry, don't mean to nit pick on spelling, but I see a lot of misspellings and errors in grammar in different forums and am just trying to be helpful. Also, a sentence should always start with a capital letter.

 

I haven't mispelled anything. What I type is what I mean. And yes, prolly = probably... but when I'm in a hurry I really don't give a **** what I type.
