Sign In 1999 Ford F150 ex cab 4x4 5.7 V8 122000 miles To make a long story short, I bent the front end of the frame (no other body damage). Though the wreck did set off my airbags which cause a little damage in the cab. It's at a local repair shop and the estimate to get it fixed came out to around 6k. The insurance company gave the ok to replace the frame with a used one and fix the other problems. My question here is...should I be ok with a used frame? I've never had to deal with problems like this before and I'm just trying to get some outside advise. The truck is paid off and the estimate was about $1500 away from totaling it. My options here are...just let them fix it and deal with the used frame or have it totaled and collect the 5500 (6k - 500 deductible) and sell the truck? Thank you for any help!

Sign In The used frame is not a problem as long as it doesn't have any damage already. Get a wheel alignment done when your finished. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. mdfriend New User Nov 4, 2010, 3:36 PM Post #3 of 4 (3023 views) Re: Is repalcing a truck frame ok on a 99 F150? Sign In Not to bother with more questions, but should the wheel alignment be assumed? This is the first I've ever had to deal with a situation like this.

Sign In Not sure what your asking the way you worded that question but yes, the wheel alignment should be done automatically with that kind of repair. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
