Rebuilding a 2019 GMC Sierra Denali that even came with that new truck smell! Part 1

I've learned my lesson with jack stands, now I use a cut off from a timber, its 12x12x12 block, and then any other height needed I put some 2x6 cutoffs on top, doesn't matter if I'm on concrete or mud, it holds, and if the vehicle were to move there's a good chance the block is still holding it up

[@bobroberts2371]

On the left lower ball joint. Inspect the steering knuckle taper, it is common in this type of crash for the ball joint stud to stretch and oval out the steering knuckle taper. While things will tighten up, the stud isn't being held firmly and will flex / break after a while. Oval track racers don't seem to understand this leading to a second crash down the road.

It might not be a fancy & have all of the options on like all of these newer trucks, but you the more dependable truck. I have a newer GMC Denali Duramax Z71, it has every option you can get on one. I also a 1997 Chevrolet C2500 that I bought new in April of 1997. That truck has 464K miles on it, with a gooseneck trailer hooked behind it for over half of those miles. All original drivetrain, with none of it ever being rebuilt. I will literally kick rocks at that newer truck as I walk pass it to go get my old 1997 truck to go do something !!

I’ve seen trucks with way more damage than yours that didn’t total! Great deal there!👍

[@muskokamike127]

I know right? write off a $100,000 truck for $10K worth of damage? I suspect that many of these vehicles are written off because the rider "new replacement" when there's over x amount of damage. What happens is the value of the vehicle is diminished when it lists an accident on carfax so many insure their vehicle against that. I watch a LOT of car youtube videos and some have been written off with far less damage.

Me too. Definitely not a total by the numbers.
