It's sad that's all the go for on insurance auctions. Go on Copart and IAA and see them sell all the time for 5 to 8k. Especially mechanical issued ones. Engines are super expensive and finding a crankshaft for one is nearly impossible that's not Chinese cast steel. My local Dodge dealer told me they won't even look at a trade in Ecodiesel.
My engine is got 105k miles. It runs great. Def system in deleted( looks like it’s there ) no regeneration ever. Regular oil changes and tire rotation.
What got me the most was when the insurance wanted to give me $200.00 for my brand new, less than 30 days old, $900+ tires. I bitched and they gave me another 250 on them. I told them to kick rocks. I saw an engine just like mine except this one had 93k miles..sold on eBay 3 weeks ago for 6k.

if anyone is going to make money off my truck….its going to be me. Truck can be fixed for 13k.
I came out of the deal with my salvage truck,(that is worth far more than the 5400) no money to buy another one and still owning on the loan. I am good with that. Progressive insurance……not recommended.

When everything was all final said and done, I came out with a wreck truck a loan payment still and no money to buy another truck or fix the one I got. That’s what I get for following the rules paying my loan on time paying my insurance on time taking care of things I get the shaft.

Unfortunately insurance is a crook no matter what level coverage you have. When the tree fell on mine, they paid 8k in repairs to fix it and the truck couldn’t have been worth more than double that. But they paid it none the less instead of total loss.
