well i got my dream truck on monday at the ripe age of 20 and i managed to accumulate 317 miles, traveling back from a dealership near the house a guy in a van made a left in front of me and needless to say the bastard wasnt as invincible as he thought..... the truck is probably totaled and the guys van was bad, i was goin about 35 at the time

its a good thing because it was developing a squeek in the cab and i wouldnt have been able to stand it for long

WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Sorry to hear that,I hate squeaks too ....

thats sucks....any pics?

no pics, ill try to get some if i can find the truck, i do have the left headlight and winter cover though

Sorry to hear about your misfortune, are you okay? Physically I mean?


Bummer deal on the whole. Hope you don't have too many problems with the insurance companies. Let us know how things go.

OUCH, http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Cry.gif That would hurt no matter when, but at 317 miles, that's gonna leave a mark . . . .


Good luck with the insurance part and all

Can I have your air filter and filter box?http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif Oooops, I meanhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Stern Smile.gif. Hope you are OK and hope insurance treats you right. Best if it is totalled, who wants a patched truck while paying "new" payments? Good Luck. SPICER

Really on the insurance .... Hope you had some Gap insurance and didn't come out of pocket all the much on the purchase ...





Mac

That is just terriblehttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Cry.gif. Hey, the good part is your still with us and that's worth loosing a truck. Hope it all works out for you.

Totaled going just 35, Was that van carrying a brick wall? Glad to hear you are ok, I hit a guy in my truck with the plow on going 35, Guess the plow helps out ALOT.


If I got into an accident when I was 20...you bet your arse it was my fault. I was a bit wild back then


Do us a favor though. If your truck is totaled, Ask your insurance company how much it would be to buy it "back". You could sell that LLY for a pretty good penny...the Ally too.


Bill

With only 317 miles the insurance co should give you ALL your money back minus the deductable if it's totaled.Don't let them give you any BS if they try to haggle about price.


Diesel Dragon

ouch indeed http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Confused.gif couple of years back one of our sons totaled my wife's car the day she made the first payment ... from that experience, I strongly recommend you stick to your guns when it comes to a settlement, the insurance rep. is there to save his company as much money as possible, not to help you in any way


Jim

in a nutshell it is my dads company vehicle that im not allowed to drive according to gm policy, and the truck is still gm's property and insured by gm

That is far from a total.

remember that it is general motors property and it is going to cost them money to put a brand new wrecked truck back on the road, ill let you know what ends up happening with it

I'd have to agree with Dieselfumes. That's not a totaled vehicle, especially considering the age and mileage on it.

Very, very Far from a total loss. Notice that the cab body is still pretty straight, doors look consistent, etc.


Maybe 15 to 18k damge, with out looking under it, hard to tell. Let us know what the estimates are...

Holy cow, http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Shocked.gif


Just read your post. I remembered you telling me you were waiting on your truck when you got the tires! Did you put them on? Sorry to hear about the wreck. I'll bet it made you wanna http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Throw Up.gif. Glad to hear your ok. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Thumbs Up.gif





Mike

if the frame is bent, most companies will consider it a total.





Least last time I had anyone I knew run into something that bad.

That doesn't look too bad (relatively speaking). When mine was totaled, my agent (AAA Insurance) told me that they pay off 100% on anything that is totaled within 6 months of purchase.


Maybe there's a spot in truck heaven next to my old '03

Turbocharge,


THAT is a Totalled Truck! Big Difference between the 2 damage wise. BIG DIFFERENCE!

So 95geo...Was Dad in the truck with you at the time of the accident or were you soloing it? Glad to hear you were allright. That is what matters most.

Takes a lot to total them cause they cost so much to begin with.

This came to just over $11,000.....
