Finally got my truck back

[sleepin-sport]

I was involved in an accident on March 29 and I just got my truck back yesterday. To make a long story short, the factory intercooler is on national back order and I got tired of waiting (3 months).
The insurace company was paying $860 for the factory IC so I paid the difference for a Spearco.
The accident wasn't my fault and the truck has just been painted two weeks prior (avatar pic) to the accident. Here are some before and after pics:

Did they get a new grill and bumper through LMC or did they scrounge one from a junk yard?

They had a hard time with the bumper because it's a sport model, so that's OEM. The grill was an aftermarket company. Junk Yard parts: Hood and headlights.

A similar thing happened to my brother with his PSD. His accident took out the intercooler and radiator. The shop that the insurance company took it to replaced everything, but that truck was a 6-speed, and I guess they have a trans cooler in the radiator, which they replaced, however they didn't add any tranny fluid. They took it for a test drive and the tranny locked up at 55mph. Not only destroyed a trans with less than 10k on it, but put bald spots on the back tires which were 1 week old.

That definitely sucks.... In my accident, it took out the: a/c condenser, trans cooler, intercooler, radiator, fan/fan clutch, the pulley and gear that goes on the front of the engine next to the timing cover. The impact was mostly concentrated in the middle.

I hit the passenger side rear corner of a Focus while it was still changing into my lane. The person in the Focus was lost and going 20 mph (in a 60 mph speed limit) and decided to change into my lane, while I was going 60.

yeah.... I didn't know either but that's what they were quoted by the dealer. To be honest, I would rather spend the 400$ difference on another mod but I guess it's going to help the high EGT's while I'm towing the boat around with the SB this summer.
