still waiting on a full estimate.. first report says its repairable, but the shop doesn't do chassis or engine work, subs out ..
hit in right front corner, oil filter chopped off.. the shop says the oilpan was hit too... (no picture)..
the engine was not running when I came to rest..
how far down does the crank hang below the block? how far is that below the oil filter mating surface?
Very sorry to hear Sam.... Hope they get you sorted and back on the road quickly... or into a 2019....
Am I reading your other thread right and your ex wife was the other driver? What happened?
thx.. i am trying to get educated on what potential damage may have been done to the lower part of the engine.
know any good sources of measurement info?
not ex.. some other lady..
one of us misread the traffic lights. I saw left arrow, other driver('she') doesn't remember any lights, person behind me reported lights were solid green..
traffic camera will show the facts.. I never saw the other car, until the hood was folding up over the dually hood.
the truck protected me, the air bags protected the other driver. their ford sedan was destroyed.. <3000 lb vs 8500!..
I don't think this is repairable but maybe, frame is bent pretty good.
I have no idea on the crank question.
The bend in the pic is the right radius arm
I did not get a pic up the chassis from further back.
Found a pic of the oilpan change w filter. Might have cracked the lower block. Crank isn't down this low.
In the prior pic the top of the filter is pulled away from the mounting surface
Sorry to see the truck damaged Sam, but glad to see you were not. Was the RV on the truck at the time, or still at a park?
RV was still at park.. I was site seeing in Albuquerque, next to last stop on 7 week trip to Badlands, Glacier National Park, Yellowstone, Tetons, and lots of beautiful rock formations in Utah and Arizona.. Lower Antelope Canyon, Page, Arizona
All of that stinks, but I’m glad it went as well as it did - all things considered.
Are you new truck shopping, or just going to get this one back when it’s fixed and keep driving it?
