    Deer Strike
    Truck of my dreams. 250 miles in and a deer has become part of the hood. Shit happens but really? Any advice for someone reconstructing everything north of the radiator? I'm worried about this dropping the value on a very expensive truck.

    That said, it took the hit remarkably well. A lot of compression in that engineering and seemingly no damage to the hard parts.

    as long as its not totaled out by the insurance company its not going to diminish the value as much as you are thinking. as for the replacement parts shoot for an oem core support, go with an aftermarket full aluminum radiator (if it was cracked) and hoods are pretty interchangeable as long as you get a 16 and newer one that goes with out saying. can you post a picture of the damage it would help better offer insight.
