Not the way I wanted to start out my day today, Looks like the damage is confined to the bumper minus a couple scrapes on the grill. A lady in a minivan started to go at the yield sign as it was clear I yielded next thing I know she slammed on the brakes.

That sucks, but very easy to replace... drop the lower wheel liners, unplug the harness to the parking sensors, and remove the three bolts on each side. Hopefully you can find a cheap replacement and just swap it out.

Yes it should be easy although I hit a minivan and her hole back window exploded on my hood and now that the sun is out I seen tons of scratches, may have to have it resprayed.

Got the truck back, looks like new, had them put the tow hooks on while they had it. I do have an issue with the headlight they replaced, has a slight flicker not when it's on but when it's off. Will have to take it back Monday to get that addressed.

GLAD U* got repaired. I did that once, in a Govt truck, responding to a "call" at an intersection I have gone through a lot, I mean a lot of times. No traffic, I knew the light pattern, LADY friggin slammed on her brakes when I started to go in a Tahoe, popped her with that Govt Vehicle. YUP, that brought me a lil grief for as while... Only thing saved me I was responding to a call and Local PD did not give a ticket, as there was no reason to yield... Though they tried to slam me $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$, took a lot of stuff to keep outta that hole...
