    Wrecked my truck today :(

    He never told me I had to replace it. I took responsibility for it. I feel it's the right thing to do because it was my fault. After talking with the attorney it turns out I am legally obligated to replace it anyway. I am not his direct employee, I'm more of a sub contactor. I own my own...

    Wrecked my truck today :(

    I wouldn't think I could get into any trouble? I never stated who my insurance provider actually is. I'm not taking them to court, but if I was i definitely wouldn't post anything about it online.

    Wrecked my truck today :(

    I've hauled a lot of stuff on a trailer including large equipment for the farm I use to work at. I've never experienced anything like that in my life. It got out of control so fast I didn't realize what was happening until it was too late. I don't think some people realize how serious it is...

    Wrecked my truck today :(

    The good news is the turbo kit was already on the truck when I bought it. My biggest expense on it was taking it to the transmission shop and getting a new clutch, flywheel, reverse, and fifth. Unfortunately that was only a few months ago. As much as I would like to keep the truck for its heart...

    Wrecked my truck today :(

    They do look at the market in the area. Trucks like mine go for about 6 or 7k around here. That's my only hope that they'll give me a decent pay out.

    Wrecked my truck today :(

    Twisted the hitch, both axles are bent. Fenders are crushed. It's not worth my time messing with. It was about 3k brand new.

    It has definitely changed my view on adding aftermarket parts or accessories to a vehicle.

    Wrecked my truck today :(

    Update: I've been on the phone all day. I contacted several different attorneys. They all came to the conlusion i am liable for the trailer since im the one at fault. It didn't help that I got a citation for "too fast for conditions". One very helpful guy I talked to said it wouldn't be worth me...

    I'm also getting stuck with the towing and storage fees on the trailer.

    Wrecked my truck today :(

    That's what I'm questioning now. I specified that they were bolted to the truck. I misunderstood about the type of business policy I had. Apparently it was insured as a personal vehicle with "business use" not a full commercial policy. I'm pretty upset about this whole thing. Not exactly what...

    Wrecked my truck today :(

    Hopefully this information will help someone. I knew you were suppose to balance your trailer load, but obviously I didn't take it seriously enough to slow down for a minute and fix it. And make sure if you borrow a trailer that the owner has it insured otherwise you're stuck with it. I would...

    Wrecked my truck today :(

    It definitely rolled. That's one of the few parts of the wreck I can remember. You should have seen the looks on people's faces that saw it happen. I think they were expecting me to be dead or something. That ladder rack was all aluminum, but It did cantilever over the cab. There was a 5 gallon...

    Wrecked my truck today :(

    I was doing about 60. I think I hit a big bump in the road and that's what started it swaying. It got away from me pretty quick. I was trying to slow down without slamming on the brakes. Obviously that didn't do much good. I've heard about hitting the break controller, but I didn't didn't have...

    An expensive lesson to say the least.

    Wrecked my truck today :(

    Yup the block was too far back. I had the front loaded with a whole display from a big contractor convention. I was on the way to return the pallet of wall block. I didn't bother to move it forward because the Bobcat wouldn't reach far enough. I knew better. Just goes to show sometimes it pays...

    Wrecked my truck today :(

    Just wanted to say thank you to everyone that's helped me with my truck. I enjoyed finding this forum. Today while towing a trailer on I 85 I lost control and rolled it over 3 lanes of traffic. Poor truck. It still fired up and drove to the side though :Thumbs Up. It's a shame it only had 145 on...

    Custom Intake Hat for Banks Turbo

    Thanks for the info. An intercooler may be something I look into in the future. I've got to save my cash right now. I'm due for a new injection pump and injectors, I need to finish getting my gauges together, and I haven't payed uncle sam yet this year either. :puke:

    Custom Intake Hat for Banks Turbo

    That's a nice set up you have. I was referring to the post in the hyperlink i added. I guess my post doesn't line up with what i was trying to say. The guy in the link used a custom hat that is a mirror image of the ats hat. The inlet on the ats hat is on the opposite side that i need it to be...

    Custom Intake Hat for Banks Turbo

    I'm wanting to eliminate my giant banks filter box to make it easier to access things. Where can I get one of the intake hats like the one here <---Link to post. I think he mentioned type4 makes them. I would try to make one myself, but i don't have access to a welder anymore . I tried...

    How much oil is normal in intake

    I have a banks kit with the relocated cdr. It makes a real mess of my intake. Is that pretty normal, or should I replace it? For all I care I'd run a draft pipe, but people get upset when a work truck dripps oil on their driveway. I have to keep these leaks chased down :frustrate

    Wiring questions

    I have a couple issues I'd like to try and figure out so I'll just post them all here. 1. This past weekend I went after my rear abs light that's been on since I bogot the truck. I replaced the wheelast speed sensor on the rear diff. The light went out, but now it's back on. Any ideas? 2. My...

    4x4 Front Springs Sagging

    I'm not really wanting to do an axle swap. I'd rather just use the 50. It works fine. I live in sc. My truck is 100% rust free. I'll look into the bushings this weekend and see what I have going on under there.

    Original Banks Turbo Kit Instrucions

    When I bought my truck a few months ago I got all the paperwork that came with it. It was a 2 owner family truck. They kept every receipt from anything that was purchased for it. I even have the window sticker from the dealership from 1990. I have a complete Banks Sidewinder installation booklet...
