First post but longtime lurker. I bought a twice totaled 13 ram and I'm fixing it up to keep (for 10 years) and thought i'd keep the progress organized here. Quick back story on the truck: When it was a brand new truck it was severely damaged in a hail storm that hit Woodhouse Dodge in Omaha. The broken glass was replaced and it was driven damaged for 3 years and 60k miles until it was wrecked in the front and totaled again. I bought it on an insurance salvage auction and got to work. I paid 8k for the truck sight unseen, based on 10 pics and the vehicle options list I printed from the VIN. Its a sobering moment when you show up and buy the truck in the front office without seeing it, and then they bring it around the building for you using a front end loader and leave it on your trailer (despite the fact that it ran and drove.) At that point, it's yours. Good, bad, or ugly including any possible damage from the loader (though I'll give the operator credit for not only picking it up carefully but also setting it perfectly where it needed to be on the trailer.)
