Ok need some advice, I have a 2016 Ram 2500 4X4 diesel that was loaded (67K sticker bought 6 months ago) and only has 6100 miles. The insurance company is sending me the title which will be salvage, I would think parts wise the truck is worth a lot of money as I have sold some interior parts on eBay and here on the forum. The 6.7 Cummins and tranny would be worth a pretty penny but that requires time and patience.

Any advice on companies that buy vehicles for parts? Should I just take the time and sell off piece by piece? Anyone done this before?

Thanks

The truck slide down a hill after being cut off at low speed about 25 feet and rolled one time at the bottom off the hill to passenger side and then roof.

That sucks! I know a buddy that did that to a car, the big things went fast, the rest of it sat and was worthless. It sat in his garage for 4 years before he finally had it towed away and got $400 for it at a scrap yard.


Do you have the door panels available?
Cluster?

I'd be willing to trade if you don't sell it - before insurance takes it. (plus some cash for you)

Insurance isn't taken, its mine just waiting on title in the mail.

OK--Have a friend in Colo that has a 4x4 shop that works on a lot of Ram diesels and thought it might be of some use to him for parts but I think you're to far away.

You wouldn't happen to have the LED 3rd brake light with the cargo cam?

So it rolled over and crushed the cab? Did it mess up the drivetrain any or bend the axles or anything? If it's still able to crank up and drive as is, I'd be taking off the cab and making me a giant dune buggy with a roll cage and some sheet metal panel riveted on. Go all Mad Max on that bad boy.

Nothing is bent and while I haven't driven it it starts up and would drive but the front windshield is shattered in sagging badly obviously

why didn't the insurance company keep it. In MD, they keep them and just give you money.. Does it not work that way in GA????
