If you guys followed my paint thread "Painting my truck with pics", then you know what I went through to build this truck. Well, this morning on my way to work...MY TRUCK WENT TO CRAP! Maybe the hood wasn't completely latched? I don't know? But this sucks!!!!!:soap:

that's horrible, I watched your thread the whole time you redid your truck

madhat 08-09-2010 08:41 PM

Man, that is terrible... I've seen that happen before, I was in a truck one time when it did it, I almost loaded my drawers.

Really sorry to see this happen to your sweet truck.

Man that SUCKS!!

Just FYI Dodge did have a recall to replace the hood latches...

OldDodgeOwner 08-09-2010 08:52 PM

Man, that hurts just lookin at it...

You got lucky - only the hood & glass are messed up. Paint can be matched since it is recent.

I screwed up 4 panels when my old Mercedes hood flew up.

**** sorry to hear that but at least you didn't wreck and hurt your self (besides your blood pressure) when it went up.

Jay that is painful to look at i know all time and work you had put into that truck and the outcome was a very nice job.

I feel for you and Know that you are [tapdshut][verymad] and very bumed out as well right now about the only thing else i can say is Monday's suck.

Good that you are ok and it did not turn out worse. Does that aftermarket hood not have the secondary (safety latch) on it ??

J Lent 08-09-2010 10:26 PM

I've been meaning to put the 2nd latch on. LOL Build it better this time! Windshield gets replaced tomorrow. I went to the junkyard & got hinges today. I'm gonna sell this hood and get something new. Change it up a bit. This one could be fixed in a hour.

If it wasn't for bad luck, we would all have no luck at all. Hope you get er fixed back up!

Diesel Dave2 08-10-2010 12:21 AM

Ouch....:(

J Lent 08-11-2010 06:42 PM

Got the windshield fixed yesterday. I was able to get the hinges bent back & the hood now shuts. I went sledpulling last night & got 1st place. LOL. Estimate came back from the body shop, $1900 in damage. Ouch is right! But I'm having the body shop do it this time, i'm tired of painting. LOL

i guess insurance is a good idea, my truck has what the law requires plus 100.00 dollars deductible comprehensive for things like that. i just got a check for some damage done to my dakota by a mad deer[laugh][coffee].....and am waiting for payment for hail damage on my 3500

J Lent 08-12-2010 12:38 AM

My insurance company will do the appraisal Friday, then write a check on the spot.
