Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Turning red and mad

[Truckie]

:{ Well just this evening when I got finished with work and was walking to my truck I was looking at the grill and saw where some one had punched a whole right through it, on the lower passenger side. It looks like they used a tree branch because I saw what looked like some bark around the whole. I looked and pooped the hood and it don't look like they did any other damage but it still got me pi$$ed to no end. I hope they did not do any other damage I cant see to the rad, or the inner cooler, or AC condenser I did not see any damage so I'm hopeing there is none. I know this is probley not going to be enought to trun in to the insurance company, but can i just replace one lower quarter or dose the whole grill need replaced and if so dose anybody know how much I'm looking at. If to much I may try gluing it back to gather with some JB Weld, that should work.

I think this is where I was supposed to post this if I'm sorry.

Thanks MIKE.

I understand exactly how you feel. Went out to my truck on a store parking lot one day and thought the front looked a little stange. Got up to it and saw a piece of grill on top of the bumper. Some a Hole had backed into the frontend and it took a new grill, bumper cover, bumper, both headlights, and corner lights to fix it. should have put on a new hood as it is bowed out a little. You can't do that much damage and not know you hit something.

Mike, He did you a favor. Call me tonight and we will throw a new billet grill in its place. Think of this as an opportunity to BOMB away.
