Sorry to hear that. I went through the "Totaling out" process with mine. :ack: All I can say is be nice to their claims adjuster. I shot the crap with the guy, and kinda "fluffed" the recent lift, age of the engine, work I had done...etc... Nice guy. He ended up telling me they were going to total it, and he told me $1000. I kinda hum-hoed on the phone, and he told me to make up some recipts at work (I worked at a dealer at the time). He wanted to just have some papers, so his boss would be happy with upping the amount. Ended up with handwritten recipts from the parts dept, and turned them in.
Got $2,000 bucks, and he let me keep the title free and clear. :brows:
All it did was cave in the cab corner, but thats an expensive fix. Drove it for awhile, and sold it :fs1: .
Moral of the story, make friends with the adjuster. Most likely he is a car guy too. Let him know how you feel, and what your looking to get. Don't accept his first offer, they aren't fixed deals. Ask for more, and see about keeping a clean title.
