Sorry to hear about your truck & that you are ok Dave. That don't look like what I meant to say. Glad your ok & sorry about the truck that's better. A little late to the party but it took me 3 days to read all the posts, now I'm cross eyed. Anyway strip it at night that'll make you feel better. Good luck with your new adventure.

Thanks Larry! The guys at the body shop have been really great so I'm going there in the morning to get everything. The truck is at the back of their lot and they could care less what I'm doing back there.

Mike, Thanks for being there and listening throughout all this!!!

Sorry but the damper is going on the new one for sure. It has 32,000 miles on it and I need to prove this will out last any 10R80 transmission out there. ?

Hey @AzScorpion! Here's my assessment of your subject post. No, I don't think it will buff out but with some JB Weld, a couple of jacks from Harbor Freight to straighten things out and some Dr. Colorchip you would have been good to go. Then again a sweet deal on a new Tremor doesn't totally suck either. Enjoy!

Thanks Rob! She did say I could take the tires off as long as I had something to replace them with. lol

I just made a deal on the one I showed you in Spokane, WA. It just arrived at the Spokane rail yard so hopefully it won't take long to get to the dealer. They were super to deal with! No mark ups, no add ons and only a $200 Doc fee. It's a little farther than I'd like to go but they were so nice and no BS. I just need something to go smooth from here on out.

Nice replacement Dave! Great point on the replacement value of the truck, will be calling my agent tomorrow! Happy you are ok (& back!) and were able to hold the wheel with the atrophied arms!

Thanks Scott! yes it's really cheap insurance for what you (potentially) get back out of it. So many rely on GAP Insurance which costs more and you get less out of it. As far as the atrophy goes, it's been 4 weeks with no Ranger and I think I'm starting to build some muscle mass back up.

Dave, @AzScorpion Sorry to hear about this whole fiasco. Great looking new Tremor to replace the old one. Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the sky!

Did anyone claim the transmission yet? Mine is getting close to 4k miles so I’m starting to look for a back up.

Glad you and the driver at fault were not injured in this accident.
Sad end to your great looking truck. It did its job and kept you safe.
You will enjoy your new Tremor. Great truck with a factory suspension that won't need any modifications.

Jeff, you're welcome to meet me tomorrow and grab the transmission before they tow it out of there. ?

Thanks Walt. I wanted the Tremor so I didn't need to do suspension and tires right off the bat. After changing mine out from the Fx4 there's no way I could drive on those pogo sticks again. lol

Ouch Dave. Sucks that this is what brought you back.

I thought you has dash cams? No clear view I assume?

Oh it would've been a straight on clear view, if the cam was working. It died a couple moths ago of course right after the warranty was up. Darn heat out here destroys everything.

Sorry to read she’s gone but everything has its end. You had good times together.
I’ve been in some accidents and every time what made me a lot calmer was the fact I was driving alone without passengers.

About side airbags:

The airbag is not designed to deploy during a minor lateral or frontal crash, rear crash or a vehicle rollover.

According to Ford OM it was ok to shake you a little.

Thanks Kristina! While I'm upset and sad as I really loved the Saber color I'm ready for a new one and it'll fun (and expensive) modding it out again.

The owners manual huh, who'd have thought to read that? ?
