Truck was stolen in Knoxville, tn

[CClements]

Ive been out of the country and away from the forums for a while, but I know you guys can feel my pain. My truck was stolen last night from my friends driveway in Knoxville Tn.



I have not started the new job yet so I'll probably buy used. What is considered the sweet spot in third gen 5. 9 models?



Any Advice in dealing with the insurance would be most appreciated.

Sorry about the loss, what a bummer.

I'm curious if your '03 had the Sentry anti-theft keys in it? If it did, it would be the first one I've ever heard of being stolen (without using a flatbed).

As far as the sweetest 3rd gen, if I had to do it again I'd look for an early '04 305/555 QC truck. Great power, no emissions junk, rear headrests.

Man, sorry to hear about that. Just out of curiousity, what part of Knoxville was that? That's hitting a little close to home! --Eric

It was in old North Knoxville, not far from 4th and Gill.

Sorry to hear that. Mine is in the shop as we speak. The sorry scum tried last night. Broke out the window & tore the steering column apart. Luckily the sentry key worked. Neighbor came over & said your truck is in the middle of the street. Sure enough they had got it started with a screwdriver or whatever & it quit on them. Wish I could have caught them.

I feel for you as I have gone through this a while back also. got the truck back about 3 weeks later, wrecked. Insurance Co. was great except for replacing tools I lost. Had to talk to my Homeowners ins. which was a waste of time. Most of the tools were work related and they wouldn't cover those. I lost about 9 grand worth of work tools.
