Good bye powerstroke

well after being a month and a half without my truck waiting for the ATS tranny to be installed i finally got it back last ngiht. i got back into town and the roads were a little snowy and was ****ign aorund with my buddies and ofcourse on 1 of the turn there was ice under the snow and i lost it, it a curb sideways, and rolled it and landed on the roof. no 1 was hurt but the truck is totaled. im gunan try and upload some pictures in the next day or so but i cant belive it happened so quickly. and when you see the pictures you guys will want to buy a back rack because i can honestly say that it saved me and my friends lifes because it kept the entire roof from crushign in on us,the front by the windshield was completely crushed in but the back window and back section of the cab roof isnt even caved in... just thought id let you guys know...

Sorry to hear, but glad your ok. Was the truck a crew-cab or a supercab with the half doors? The crew cabs do alot beter in roll overs since they have a center post.

I'm glad to hear that you're all okay. I'll let my dad know that the racks came in handy because he loves for trucks to have racks on them.....I can't stand them. They've saved the drivers in 3 of his trucks that have rolled over in the past years.

On a side note, I have a truck that your ATS tranny should fit nicely into!

Glad to hear no one got hurt, when I rolled my supercab the roof crushed all the way down level with the hood and the bed rails. Got to say you guys are lucky.

Well, all I can say is that sucks! At least you're okay. A truck can be replaced. Your health/life can't.
