Get all of your stuff off of the truck before the insurance co gets it. Go to where they towed it and start un-modding

You may want to leave out that a relative was driving it unless they are on the policy.

Sounds like a part out thread is in the works.

The person driving is on the same policy so I think it will be ok. Also no mods on the truck, just a daily driver I got only 2 months ago :-( If they offer to sell it back to me I'll let you guys know.

Looks like they are lucky to escape with no injuries. Good luck with the ins. co.

We drive GMC vans with boxes at work. 2 months after we got it, 2 summers ago, another crew drove it into a flooded street, not realizing it was a 3 foot deep flooded street. It got towed out, brought to the dealership for a few fixes, and given back to us.

The truck, needless to say,has gotten the nick-name Sh*t-box, since it takes forever to start, the electrical is all screwy, and nothing works anymore: A/C (or any climate control for that matter), steering is all messed up, brakes are junk even after being fixed countless times. Meanwhile, it's twin brother, bought with the Sh*t-box still runs like a champ...

Needless to say is: Water is the real enemy, and you're only going to get screwed (like i am with my truck) if you don't fight to the death to get it totaled (assuming they don't do it on their own).
