This particular suburban is 2 wheel drive, which is perfect. (2 wheel drive truck it’s going into.) It hit an elk going 80. Luckily, it went mostly under the vehicle. The front drive is beyond repair, the driver side body damage is fairly extensive. The nice thing is it didn’t touch the engine compartment.
I’m sure with those kind of miles, both engine and tranny are going to need rebuilt. I was kind of thinking $400-$600. I just don’t know how to value something with this much damage.
On a side note, for those of you who have done it, how much appox is it going to cost to rebuild a 5.3 ls?
