I'll see you guys around. I ended up trading in the 05 to get an 09. The 05 was a great rig up until 92,000, than the trans dropped. I replaced it with a junkyard one(37,000miles) and it was about time for rotors and pads all around, the plugs needed a change I didn't want to deal with and the shocks were shot. I got into an 09XLT for a lower payment than my 05. Too bad I only had a nice truck for about 10hrs. I'll show some nice pics first and than the pics of what happened the first day I drove it to work. The damage pics are of the rig less than 10hrs old and 60 miles on the ticker.....I shoulda kept the 05 for 1 more day.

 

Nice new ride, but what happened?

 

Nice trucck, hope it was someone else who caused that damage, if it was you get rid of the truck its bad luck haha

 

damn!

 

Nice truck dude. And that sux about the damage on your brand new truck. What happened?

 

Wow, nice truck! But that damage is a tear jerker!

 

Bondo is your friend, especially with white paint.

 

Congrats on the upgrade, but that damage sux.

 

A dump truck was trying to back into the jobsite to dump some gravel and the guy wasn't too good at driving. I saw it all happen and managed to keep my cool, sure a couple choice words came out but the guy knew he was in the wrong. At one point he said he was going to walgreens to get a camera. I said I'm riding on the step of this rig or you're staying right here. He stayed and I have a full police report and the trucking companies insurance info. I've gotten 2 estimates $5200-$3200. The rig will be in the shop for atleast 10 days. I'm telling them that I need a comparable rental otherwise they are going to be sorry. If I get a Neon I'll be loading it up with 950lbs of concrete this weekend.

 

Congrats on the truck but not the damage... That sucks it wasnt even a day after.. Ill go to walgreens to get a camera nice try

 

That's a beautiful truck, but man that sucks, hope my trans doesn't drop at 92k

 

Dude, do NOT say that! I hope your trans lasts to at least 92k!

 

That sucks, you have some control my friend.

 

I think I would of killed that guy!

 

Try to file a diminished value claim.
What company is it? Thats a brand new truck.

I can tell you everything you need to do. heh
Pretty much its getting extra money on top of the repairs cause now your vehicle isnt worth as much due to the amount of damages. AKA, if you were to ever trade it in, that accident is on the carfax.
