Yep, today was not a good day. I ran out of gas earlier today. I thought I smelled gas. I had my sister bring me some gas and i got to a station and filled up. I went and picked up the wife for lunch. On the way home smoke started coming in the vents, then there was a boom and flames coming from the passenger side. The brakes were gone, took me about 100 yards to get stopped(finally remembered the ebrake is under the dash. i jumped out and called 911. It took the fire dept about 20 minutes to go about 1.5 miles and actually get water on it.
Major suckage! Only had the new tires on a week. just got my re-7's today..

No idea. I will probably let them scrap it, unless I can buy it back for just a couple hundred.. then sell what I can. The airbag parts i have are gonna go up for sale

dude. that sucks man. im glad youre okay tho
like others have said, rebuild it. maybe not that one tho. the heat might have weakened the frame.
part out what you can, put that with the insurance money, and youll be back on your frame in no time.

thanks everyone for the comments. It was rough watching it burn. Luckily I had friends show up to make wise ass comments about my new flame job and it being hot :rolleyes:
Anyway, the insurance adjuster should be out in the next day or so. I had gap on it as well, so it will be paid off.
What will rise from the ashes? I dont know. I have a line on a couple trucks. A stock floored s-10 or a mazda... But I may just grab a gsxr1000.
A buddy wants all the steel parts I have for his truck. So I will probably list up my bags here.

It was definitely an experience.
Hopefully I will get my for sale ads approved on here soon so I can get the bag parts sold and recoup some money.
I have a feeling I am gonna have a hard time getting paid for my stereo, bed cover, wheels, etc. Only thing I have receipts for are the tires

Insurance adjuster was here at 8am. He said I should hear from them later today or tomorrow with an offer. I have a feeling i will do battle to get where I need to be.
The shitty part is that they will only issue one check to the bank and it will include all the parts, so my parts are taking up the gap instead of the gap insurance i got when i bought it.
WEAK!

Sounds like you need to remove the parts then, they're not reimbursing you for them. I'd even take the bed if it were me. put the original wheels back on or none at all. If the dealer didn't specify the bed cover, custom wheels, or custom stereo it wasn't paid for by the bank.

07-26-2009, 02:08 AM
Talked the the insurance company. I can buy the truck back for $525. I really dont think I would make that much back from it, so I am just gonna let everything go.
minitruckin4life
07-26-2009, 03:51 PM
you dont think u can make 525 from ur bed gate and wheels and bed cover? id buy it back for 525.

beaver720
07-26-2009, 07:26 PM
buy it back, u can clean the glass, front bumper to sumone who wants a pianted bumper, and the rest u can sell sooner or later, find someone with only 2 escalade rims and cut them a deal, the bed is in good shape, basicly dont let it go to the insurence ppl cuase all they are going to do is crush it, thats my :2: about the truck

come swap it out
i am off monday-wednesday
ScottXGTR
07-26-2009, 08:44 PM
if the bed is clean its worth 500. someone always has a curbed eskie they want to replace without buying one off ebay.
id say you could make 1000 off parts at least. if you want to do a little work and advertising.
beaver720
07-26-2009, 09:32 PM
true dat mr scottxgtr

07-27-2009, 01:10 AM
dude, you could easily get back 525 for that.
all the little shit adds up, and you never know whos truck you could help keep on the road, not to mention if you decide to buy another one.

Thats sucks bro, the fire department was probably a volunteer department due to the delayed response since it took 20 minutes for them to go a 1 1/2 miles. Alot of volunteer fire stations aren't staffed 24/7 so they had to wait for a couple of guys to meet at the station before they could make it on scene.
I bet you could make at least 1000 dollars back from parting it out, like scotty said

Havent been on here in awhile.. There was actually some stuff that I didnt get out before they came and towed it to the junkyard. I had a chain and floor jack in the bed, but I didnt care enough to drive all the way to St Louis to get the stuff back.
Now I'm rolling a 2000 S-10 thats bagged and bodydropped. This is from a photoshoot we did a couple weeks ago. I've got it for sale though
