They did a great job fixing it!

Glad things worked out the way they did.

Seems we usually hear only the horror stories about insurance companies not paying out etc,.

What insurance company was this if you don't mind me asking?

 

My insurance paid for all repairs, but even if they didn't I would have! I think it went sideways due to multiple factors:


1. It was very heavy rainfall to where the highway was pooling on the road surface.
2. My tread was at about 25%.
3. When I hydroplaned, I could feel the truck get hit with a gust of wind.
4. I over corrected.


It was a bad spot on the road, shortly after the trooper arrived to do the report, 3 cars spent out in the exact spot. One after another maybe 10 seconds apart! It was a wild night!

 

GEICO! They were very pleasant.

 

Glad you were safe, and it's sad that others had the same fate as you in the same area but I would consider a lawsuit against the DOT for not maintaining the roads.

 

Surprised too that it went so badly. It's not easy to get a 4 ton truck to hydroplane. Were you going pretty fast?

 

This is good to know.

 

Doing the speed limit (70mph).

 

Looks great. Glad your insurance decided to save it......although, Im more of a state fan....the EX makes up for it.

 

LOL Go Blue!

 

I think it was that awful front licence plate that made you crash.

Truly though, glad to hear everyone came out alright and that you got your truck all fixed up.

 

If only I had the extra $3,000 to get her painted Maize and Blue! LOL

 

Why would you want to paint your truck like a target?

 

Both of those options are horrid but the pink would be the better choice IMO

 

I think it was the sticker. You said November...maybe right after Thanksgiving?

 

Anything can hydroplane, the water really doesn't care how heavy you are.........so to speak.
With that many miles they must have flipped a coin on saving it.
