Depressing day!

When I bought it.

After cosmetic upgrade and usual performance upgrades.

After yesterday!

Pretty sure it's totaled!

Had the truck for just over a month, and was coming along nicely. Luckily I didn't install the lift and wheels/tires. Every one is okay luckily, but I really loved this truck, it was about as good as it gets to me as far as color scheme, and the black leather interior and only had 37k miles.

The $700 tow fee to get it from bloomington, IL back to Indianapolis wasn't fun either. I will more than likely buy a new truck, so if anyone knows of a 2008+ 6.4 or 6.7 for sale in the 30k range. CCSB 4x4 with black leather and low miles please let me know.

Efffff! Sorry to here man, was a great looking truck. Glad to hear everyone was OK though

Sent from a Cummins plant, driving a TDI, wishing it was a Powerstroke

Only took a quick look at it after the crash and this morning before it got towed back to Indiana.

Frame is bent back to coil bucket on passenger side, will need whole new front clip, radiator, intercooler etc, rear bumper, bedside, and air bags went off.

Body shop owner, said at first look he is pretty sure insurance will total it. Those parts and paint will add up quickly. That is just small list of up front things before really getting in to it. Maybe they won't, but I don't think it would ever be right again. Took it to best collision repair shop in Indianapolis, so if he says he can fix it and make it look and drive like it did before the accident then I may consider keeping it.

Makes me sick Matt, first wreck ever and just had to happen with this truck.

Was going 60-65 on interstate and hit black ice on a bridge and truck went straight side ways fish tailing and ended up hitting concrete barrier around 20-30 mph range. Was on a 3 hour drive and was no ice the whole drive, and only had another 20 minutes to go on the trip.

tough loss. good lookin truck. very unique.

Sorry to hear about this. That is really sh#tty luck. I know how I felt when my truck got hit last year and my damage was cosmetic so I can't imagine how you feel.

boggerr · Feb 2, 2014

Sorry to hear, that was a nice looking truck. Thank god everybody is ok, truck can be replaced. Unfortunately they will probably total it, mine was close to 7 grand just from hitting a deer.

See what the buy back is, maybe part it out or find a clean high mileage truck and swap drivetrains.
