Hey guys i hit a deer in my 2016 ram.1500 the dealer wants 6k to fix the insurance gave me 2k to take to dealer and pay my deductible but i think maybe i could fix it with the 2k and save my deductible these are the parts i need

Passenger headlight
Recovery tank
Grill
Rad support
Ac condensor

FYI aftermarket headlights are not as good as the OEM. I hit a deer and they installed a TYC headlight. It looked nothing like the stock one on the other side of the truck. I have the projector headlights. the signal flasher we a different brightness, the overall look as way different. I ******* up a storm and they gave in a bought me a OEM head light. The truck was only 6 months old with 4k miles. I wouldnt settle for aftermarket parts.

looks like you also need the active grill shutter
shop ebay
its full of good used low mile parts for these trucks OEM ....
you can definitely build that truck back for under 2k

You can remove the module and screw it to the lower radiator support and do a trick to it , to fool the computer. like they are working , if not you will get a constant check engine light on
Theres a good video on you tube how to do it

That should explain my check engine light

Wow, looks great! Did you end up doing it yourself or taking it to a shop? I can not believe the disparity between what the insurance gave you and the what the dealer wanted to repair.
