Love your tractor videos. Saw this one and it inspired me to perhaps buy back my truck from insurance company and fix it. The wrote it off. 2008 gmc 3500 dually diesel. $31,000 damage. Front corner like yours but didn’t impact the wheel or steering. A driver hit my rear duals. Knocked the differential off the springs. Spun me around and I hit another vehicle. A couple of friends have told me to keep the truck. My truck was in mint condition and 112,000 km in it. Diesel engine 4X4. I don’t think the rear end is damaged. The springs aren’t broken either.

I wonder how many vehicles get junked every year just because of cosmetic damage that looks worse than it really is. A good vehicle with a dent or a scratch, is still a good vehicle. Buying a different vehicle is like gambling. You don't know what you are in for. Great video. 👍

Hey JT, about six years ago my wife hit the back of a heavy truck perfectly in the trucks hitch and the left front frame horn of my rendezvous. The hood , grill and fender were untouched but the bumper cover a sub bumper were destroyed. The frame horn did what it was supposed to do and accordianed about eight inches taking the radiator support with it. After about half an hour of making no progress I cut the frame horn and damaged radiator support out of the car. I drilled out the spot welds and pounded everything straight and then welded it back in place. Picked up a salvage bumper and a new bumper cover. The car was black as was the replacement bumper cover so there was no paint involved. $350 in parts and about a day's work. The insurance check was $4300. Not too bad. We traded the car about two years later and told the dealer of the damage and repairs. After they checked it out and checked the "car fax" ( there's a lesson here) they gave me $4600 trade in. It pays to be handy!:)

FLUFFY is your accountant,, huh? "Over budget..." (claws out)! And now for some arm chair critique. Should have got that rotten fender out of the way before the mechanical repairs. No headaches! Then while the fender is off tackle the exhaust gaskets, oil cooler tubes, and other common leaks on these trucks. Now you're 500 over budget rather than 8! 😀 thanks for sharing your projects with us.

Very nice! this makes me miss My 04 i just sold. Sucker had 336k on it and very minimal rust i had bought it from the original owner, it was a garage-stored truck. Went out and bought a '91 K2500 Light duty 6 Lug, 5.7/7004. I was looking for a 6.2/6.5 diesel but no luck. Btw i stole that '91 for a damn good price, Got it in a bundle with a Newer $6000 Boss Hydro-Turn plow. A friend down the road has a 96-98 Ext cab 1500? with a 6.5TD in it, needs some srs TLC though. Still may buy it. Could we see a video on the JD Sled?

Those 90’s chevys are some great trucks. Hard to beat the ease and reliability of the 5.7. Won’t get the mileage of the 6.2 but it’ll keep working! I’ve considered a video on the Deere’s, just need some snow to stick 😉
