Dude I am so sorry!!!!!! So you didnt have the drop kit on it? I can only imagine if you did the dealer would void it all!!
Good luck and let us know what they say.

Maui Life said:I hope you are getting all your damage sorted out with the dealer. Update to mine, turns out I also bent RR axel hub. Christ. Might be a good time to change the gearing. I did a perfect sideways, on the gas, on the throttle, power slide into the curb.
Hope you actually find all the damage the first time.

Big Asp said:Wow, Jeff! No one can say you don't do things in a big way! At least our trucks are spending quality time together. See you Saturday.

The only thing I know for sure is that I was leaving the dealership. Had just been to a Mopars of Utah club meeting and were going to go and get something to eat and do a cruz by club 90. There were about 4 cars in front of me and I not sure how many were following.
As I pulled out of the driveway, I gas'd it, like I've done a million times before. It hooked right, I traveled maybe 30-35 feet between the time I gas'd it and contact with the curb. Based on what I felt, couldn't see what was happening right at the wheel, I was still in my seat, it felt then if the wheel was gone, then I hit the bottom of a light pole and a speed limit sign, think it said 35. From there I drove it down the street and onto a side road, figured if the Nascar boys could do it, what the hell, its already bent up.
Wish I could say it was a dog, or some old lady in a Ford or I was racing an "L", anything would be great. But none of that was going on. As i've said, the only way I can explain it, "Weird".
And if I did everyting wrong, everything, how did I rip the front end of the truck and Maui Life did practically nothing in comaprison to his at 80mph, I was doing 25-30 maybe as high as 35, but I sure as hell didn't gas it till i came to a stop!
Anyway.
Got one more pic I still need to take. The sheered of portion of the ball joint. Maybe try an get it on the site sometime this evening. maybe there's a metelurgist out there who has knowledge of aluminum and forces and all that crap.
So to answer your question, "Good Question"
Either I was stupid
or
Something Broke
If there was a pole, I'm sure option A would win:dontknow:

MYuGiOh Motorsports said:The question really comes down to:
Did I break it while crashing
or
Did it break and then I crashed
The good part is the insurance company will pay for it and deal with the issues. I would sure hate to wait to find out all the answers before they fix the truck. It would be a classic before they come up with a conclusion and parts would be harder to get than a 71 SuperBee
