How does it hurt the engine or transmission? What do you think happens to the engines and transmissions taken out of cars that are totaled?

From these pics this is what looks like the truck will need. Hood, Hood Release, Fender, Headlight Assembly, Grille, Bumper, Upper & Lower Bumper Trim, Radiator, AC Condenser, Trans. Cooler, Door Skin, Fan Shroud, Radiator Support, Fog Light, Light Wiring Harness, Inner Fender Panel, Chrome F-150 Emblem, Front End Alignment, MISC. Brackets, Reinstall Paint & Labor.. And maybe put on a frame machine & straighten if needed. Tho it’s a lot of parts, It really looks worse than it is. Correct me if I’m wrong but to total a vehicle the damages has to be 70% the of the vehicle’s value. I suck at math but if the truck’s value is lets say $32,000 for the truck to be a total loss the damages would have to be $22,400 or more. So unless you have a roll over, flood or a fire it’s gonna be hard to total one nowadays. Which sucks I know, but all ya can do is get it fixed & get rid of it. Cause it’s never gonna be right again! Makes me wanna invest in a brush guard every time I see this truck!!

My latest mod, Wrecked! (Update!)
Finally got to look at my truck today. The adjuster is going back tomorrow to re-evaluate the damage. So far the estimate has gone up 50% from the original one, and they were still adding the additional damage they found! The shop states it is close to a total loss but the adjuster makes the final call. They also stated that if the motor is damaged it will definately push it over the limit. Here are some pictures I took. Also check out my gallery under the 'Accident' catagory to see a description of each of these photos. Thanks for all the help/comments again. Chat soon!
