Thanks for all the support. The frame is ok, but it ripped the spring mount off the frame. The rearend is tweaked......shock is gone, but everything else looks ok. Just mostly cosmetic. Its at 7997.00 right now, and still going. They appraised the truck at 15,500. Its close to being totalled. Its at my shop right now, so hopefully we can fudge stuff around so its not. This is right after we finished the converter, LT's and ypipe, fuel pump/filter, and wideband this weekend. Only had 2 days to enjoy it

Take all that frustration on the rent car you will be sporting while the truck is being fixed!!!! BTW reverse donuts are always fun in a FWD car....

Sorry about your truck and it's good that you were not hurt!

Nothing goes as fast or stops as quick as a rental car.

the newer genIII motors get the 243's

glad to hear you're okay, that sucks that you just got all that stuff installed and only ran it for 2 days and this happened.
