    Hill Country Customs out of New Braunfels. Bryan was my POC, he was solid.

    Got sideswiped, any advice or a pick me up?

    Wanted to provide closure to my saga for any folks that may find themselves in this situation down the line. My diminished value claim has been resolved. My attorney engaged and we settled. Before hiring an attorney the company at faults insurance initially offered $600 diminished value. I...

    Gen 1 as the daily?

    I DD my low mileage 13. Bought it in Vegas Jan 23 and drove it home to TX no prob. Only issue I've had not related to being hit in an accident last Dec was the sunroof drain. These trucks are more than solid in my opinion, take care of it and it'll take care of you. Enjoy it!

    Got sideswiped, any advice or a pick me up?

    Not sure I called the 4's specifically, I may have, but I did call several attorneys. Don't get me started on the legal profession either, they are neck and neck with insurance for being a scourge on society in my opinion. First question out of most every attorney's office was if I was hurt...

    Got sideswiped, any advice or a pick me up?

    Appreciate all the support on here, it's been a trying few months but here's the update. I picked up my truck from the body shop yesterday. All told it was a little over 6 months after the accident when I took possession. I've put maybe 100 miles on it in the past day, it feels solid, possibly...

    Totalled

    Glad both of y'all are ok. If it helps I heard the same thing about an auto total if airbags are deployed a month ago when I was sideswiped. Not true for me so far, I'm not out of the woods yet but it's looking positive it won't be totaled. It's literally a dollar amount of damage versus the...

    Got sideswiped, any advice or a pick me up?

    Appreciate the response. I'm doing the same, have spoken to diminished value and demanding OEM in every conversation I've had with the companies insurance. Haven't decided on a body shop yet, but the two I'm leaning towards both said they'd communicate with me if insurance is saying one thing...

    Right back at you brother, hope your beast is handed back to you better than the day it rolled off the lot. Good luck avoiding the crazies!

    Great thought, after what happened yesterday I think I'll stick with steel if at all possible! Too many distracted drivers around here.

    Got sideswiped, any advice or a pick me up?

    Hate that happened to your son, but thank you so much for responding. Outside of a splitting headache the past 20 or so hours I seem to be ok. If I can get my truck back to where it was I think I may be on the same boat with the fun factor. Come to find out the accident was caught on a security...

    Got sideswiped, any advice or a pick me up?

    You know, I thought about that after I posted it and I had my phone connected through bluetooth. It's probably how the call was automatically made. When I was talking to dispatch immediately afterwards I didn't know where the phone was, I was just talking to them through the trucks speakers/mic...

    Never say never, I don't see it happening though. Beautiful trucks, not really for me.

    Got sideswiped, any advice or a pick me up?

    Thank you for the reminder, definitely could have been a lot worse. I am aware of "the 4's," I don't watch much live TV but I feel like it's burned into my brain. I have to imagine a lot of folks around here feel the same lol....dang annoying advertising works evidently.

    Got sideswiped, any advice or a pick me up?

    Exactly what I needed to read, very much appreciate your response! The rear passenger door opened and closed like the truck wasn't even hit. I'm trying to get jazzed up by telling myself maybe I'll get the body shop to fix a couple of other minor issues, I wasn't in love with the wheels so why...

    Oof....fingers crossed it's not totaled. I did a quick check on Auto Trader and there was only 3/4 gen 1's under 30k miles.

    Got sideswiped, any advice or a pick me up?

    Was sideswiped this morning at a relatively low speed by a Chevy 3500 work truck pulling a large trailer. Long story short I had the right of way, believe he did a rolling stop and hit my passenger side. He is clearly at fault, he had the stop sign and there was no stop sign for me. Got the...

    New Gen1 owner TX

    Thanks for the welcome everyone. I did run into my first issue which is water pooling in the passenger side floorboard. Wasn't egregious, I'm thinking it's the evaporator issue that a lot of folks have. It's rained several times since I brought the truck home, but that hasn't been an issue with...
