Dude,
Sorry to read about the wreck.

One thing that I would highly reccomend, is that when you do get your truck back from being repaired, is that you get someone to follow behind you while driving down a straight road or highway and look to see if your truck is tracking straight. You'll be able to tell because you be able to see more of one side of the body than the other. Frame could still be bent and/or rear end may be out of alignment.

I've been driving behind cars that look like the rear of it is slightly to one side or the other. You get up along side of the vehicle and everything looks great, but driving behind it and you know that it was in an accident.


Good luck. Hope it all works out.

Are you absolutely sure your back doesn't hurt? Maybe just a little bit?

Coryk4,

Being they fixed your truck and did not totalled it, I guess that it must be a new truck. Just make sure that the insurance company pays you for the Diminished value of your truck at todays prices and not some date 1-3 years from now. If they tell you that they will not pay for diminished value then get an Atty ASAP as you have suffered a $$$ loss being it has been wrecked. BTW hope your doing well and good luck.
