need some help on parts quickly plz

[coloradokid]

alright guys. my truck got rear-ended a few week back. yes i want to kill the guy that damaged my truck. not a happy camper anywho i need some real help on finding parts.

i don't want used parts, since insurance is paying for new equipment. oh yeah, forgot to mention, the dumb**** that hit me didnt have insurance so i get to take care of the deductible too. again not happy at all.

the body shop is getting parts in as we speak and the exhaust is not even close to correct. not the right size piping, tips are wrong, the muffler is for duel exhaust that come out of each side like a daytona piece of shit or something like that. does anyone know where or who might be able to help. the dodge dealer cant help at all. i need the piping to start from the other side of the cats and back. or cat back minus the cats if you know what i mean. i know the exhaust is special because i looked to upgrading it and was told that its pointless to mess with unless you spend big bucks. the exhaust dodge thinks goes on my truck was like 200 bucks. lol i knew that wasn't right, right away but let them just do there jobs first.

they are inspecting the bumps to make sure they match up too. and yes i said bumpers with a S. i got hit so hard it forced me into the car in front of me.

the car that hit me went under me for the most part. so the exhaust got hammered. i hope the cats forward are ok. they look ok but who knows. i am sure it wont ever be the same.

any information on this would be great and quick. since insurance is taking care of this, i get to do it right so i don't care how much it costs. the more the better, i don't care. just as long as its right.

and please don't tell me that the exhaust cant be replace with original parts. i enjoy the stock look.

Man, hate to sound like an ass but we'd need to know what kinda truck you have. Quad Cab or regular? And you can email the couple vendors of this site that are Mopar parts suppliers and they can tell you for sure. If it is a QC I do have a full stock exhaust with 2 of 4 cats.

Check w ramviper10 he had some stock exhaust stuff cheap at one time, you could piece it back together.Also just look in the buy sell section and send pms to the folks there they will get back soon. Good luck man and sorry about the accident.

has anyone else had problems with parts?

my vin didnt come up with the correct front bumper or exhaust. is something weird or is that normal on our trucks. tempted to use a buddys vin to see if his comes up with a different parts or not.

Sorry to hear about the Truck Sean. These guys should be able to hook you up. My bodyshop guy here has had problems getting SRT parts as well. But he was getting stuff for non SRT rides. And even the SRT ones sometimes he got the wrong ones. They would show up and look similar but it was not original. Even with a vin number from an SRT has caused him problems. He gets his stuff from Salt Lake and is the only one he trust to get the right SRT parts.

Getting parts for your truck might be a pretty long wait. Dodge has hardly no inventory for parts. I tried to get a rear wing and it was backordered with no delivery date. I waited over a 90 days and still did not get it. The really crappy thing was I located some in Texas(thanks to moparconnection he rocks!) But Dodge did not want to pay for the shipping. It was under warranty and I was not going to pay for anything. I shouldn't have too. But you will probably be in better shape getting parts. All the stuff I got came out of the Denver area.

That was back in June. Right now I have another Dodge in the shop and has been there almost a month waiting on parts. The dealer is waiting on one more part and they expect it to be in within the week.
