My SRT......accident.

Sorry to hear about this, hopefully it will work out in your favor...

Got pics?
 
Can I put the truck on lay-a-way till you can get the title out of the safety deposit box ;) :)

Something funny here about that brakes. Even if one wheel, rotor, and caliper is gone, the two opposite corners should have worked. That is why there is two system on the vehicles. Been this way for years.

I can assure you that with the left rear caliper removed, torn off actually, our trucks have no hydraulic brakes. All I managed to do is coat the underside of the truck and wheel with brake fluid with my two attempts to apply brake pressure.

Interesting... this may be an important find... or it may indicate other issues with your braking system.
 
I'm sorry to hear your bad news Chuck, I hope you get everything taken care of soon.

Bill.
 
Does no one read anymore?
Let's try this again....

That's what's cool about the "hat-in-rotor" design of our rear brakes: Even if the caliper is gone, the parking brake still works.
In order for the parking brake to fail, you'd have to either cut the cable (which would require some type of sharp object to intersect the cable on the inside of the frame) or remove the rotor entirely (somehow).
If enough force is applied to remove a 14.1" cast iron rotor, stopping is the least of your worries. :)

With one line cut the master cylnider would never build any pressure, so although the other circuit is still fine, there would be no way to build pressure. Sickness has it right weith the e-brake, it uses the inside of the rotor with a mini drum set-up, unless the whole rotor comes off the e[r]bake will still work...

Damn dude. You must really not like me....confusing me with the Sickness.
That's mean as hell.


Silverback- Our braking circuit uses 2 lines out, but only a single power booster (and resevoir) for those lines.

REMEMBER: If your brake pedal goes to the floor, use the *other* brake pedal....the one on the FAR left.
 
Glad to hear you are OK...yes the last paragraph had me laughing. can't believe so many people didn't pick up on it!

Heading down to get tear offs before heading out for the last dirtbike race of the season I managed to get in an accident with my SRT. I was approaching an intersection doing 50-55mph. I had a Harley in front of me indicating a right turn. Had a truck a bit close behind me and another Harley in the lane next to me but about 2 lengths back. Light turns yellow and HD in front stops quickly rather than making the turn. Split sec decision I decide to change lanes and enter the intersection on the yellow. I was more concerned that if I braked hard, would have had to, the truck behind me might not have been alert or unable to stop as fast as me and I'd have taken the Harley guy out when he hit me from behind.

It was still yellow as I entered the intersection but at that instant an Acura MDX, who was in the opposing left lane waiting to go, decided, well, to go. I swerved but she still hit me on my back left side. Truck spun sideways from the impact but managed to straighten it out. Went for the brakes and nothing. Pumped them for a second time and still nothing. Downshifted through the gears then killed the engine and used the clutch to come to a stop.

I took a quick glance as I got out and looked back up the street and saw the MDX in the middle with car parts scattered all over. Just as I was about to jog back to the intersection Police pulled up so I waited.

Luckily, no injuries to anyone. Police were unable to determine fault so that leaves me working with her insurance to make that determination. I don't carry collision on my vehicles. Her comment to the police officer was classic....I thought he would stop.

Hind site I should have stopped but felt certain that Harley guy would have suffered the worse if anything went wrong. I'll take bent metal and broken plastic any day. Why no brakes? Most of the impact was to my rear tire. It appears the impact sheared the positioning pin for the axle/spring as the axle was approx 1" further back and somehow my caliper snapped at the mount cutting my brake line.

Regardless, my SRT is now worthless to me. I will not drive a damaged vehicle nor will I fix it. I don't want anything to do with it. As far as I'm concerned, when the flatbed loaded it and drove off I never want to see it again. That being said, anyone willing to give me $14,000 cash its yours. While the title is free and clear as well as in my name I did accidentally deposit my title in the wrong safety deposit box. This particular box can only be opened 2X a year. My wife recently opened the box to get something for herself but forgot to pull the title out (damn forgetful women!) thus I would not be able to transfer title for 5 months, 7 days and 14hrs......:eek:

Stay safe out there!

Sorry Chuck:(
 
I would be happy to purchase this truck.!!! Except, my money is tied up in offshore accounts by an unfriendly socialist government. If you help me recover these funds by sending me 5000 dollars I will gladly pay you 25000 for your truck and your additional help. Thank you in advance! :p
 
Glad your ok!

Specific reason not carry collision insurance (just curious?)...I know its the state law here.

Most states require min liability. Only time full coverage is required is when financial institution holds title. I own my vehicle outright so full coverage is voluntary for me. I don't have automobile liability insurance per say. Az requires a min amount or you must post a bond. I posted a bond and have an umbrella policy that far better covers me regarding liability concerns. I have a separate policy for uninsured and under insured. Only time I pay is if I'm at fault. Its a gamble for sure but so far its been in my favor, however, I learned today that her insurance has decided its my fault. I guess I'll see how far they want to fight this. In the mean time I'll have to pay to fix my vehicle out of my pocket. My lawyer/insurance (umbrella) will play hard ball for me towards her carrier.

As far as I'm concerned, no personal injuries and I'll have my SRT back on the road shortly. Already talked to my paint guy about shaved handles, refurbed front fascia (lots of rock chips) as well as a few extra coats of clear all over. I want something I can wet sand and polish without too much fear of getting into the color coat.
