Some New Mods Delivered While I Was on Vacation

[svtfocus2cobra]

I wonder if the impact push the sensors downward and that's why they didn't go off. But man hard enough to crack the LCD screen that's crazy

The impact sensors should trigger so quickly that the neccessary bags blow before the sensors get shifted in any one direction to where they vould be taken out of commission.

Pretty sure the NHTSA conducts this very scenario and maybe even at a lower speed to test the quality of the airbags and structural integrity of the vehicle. I actually remember them noting that the F150 Crew Cab's cabin holds up extremely well but the extended cab is not as good. That's kind of the obvious first sign of concern though.

Hopefully they dont try to conclude that your tune interfered with safety equipment and sensors.

As far as repairs go if it doesn't total, as long as the rails are okay, everything else can be swapped easily on these trucks. If you play your cards right with the shop who repairs it you could come out with some money to spare. Just looking at it, my guess is it is going to be about an $9k repair but could top $11-12k if there is more hidden damage or suspension damage. Those screens are like $1800 I believe.

The 2015 crew cab was designed after the extended cab and the changes in crash safety testing happened somewhere in between. The crew cab got extra bracing and the extended cab didn't as it was too late in the development cycle. I don't remember when or if the extended cab ever got it.

Hopeful for a fast recovery for your wife. Impacts like that can affect muscle groups weeks later. Keep aware of yourself as well.

Wow, that wicked sucks!!
Good luck going forward and I hope your wife gets well soon!

@Sonic605hp sorry it took me so long to get with you, I've been fighting internet issues all day after a big storm last night.

To be completely honest, I'm not exactly sure what can be done, or what will be done.

I would start with your insurance company, and possibly consult an attorney.

 

[2k2leenin]

That's a garbage answer. Change in velocity means nothing without the change in time over which it occurred.

True, but we're talking about a crash which last on average .2 seconds... Also, a second vehicle that ran a red light (assuming ~35 to 40 MPH)... And a change in velocity of 5 MPH.

To clarify a statement made several posts back, I think OP mentioned the screen was broken because OP was trying to hold back his wife after impact, and in the process his hand/forearm was forced into the screen. The impact itself didn't break the screen.

Buddy you're lucky your shoulder is ok - but that's a completely normal reflex. As was mentioned, you should get checked out if you haven't already. It can take days or longer for issues to show themselves with soft tissue injuries as swelling goes down and things stiffen up. Well wishes to the wife and you also.

That's the thread I remember seeing. That F100 is awesome!

Didn't the extended cab get crash bars in 2016, or was that for side impact.

As far as talking to you, It's all lawyers for you now. I work for an OEM that's subject to NHTSA (not relevant but interesting) and of course consumer lawsuits, your a rep of the company so anything said can be pulled in to a lawsuit and is so we can't talk about anything. The way internal communication about things like accidents and recalls are handled is insane, all subject to attorney client privilege as protection.

Hope your both OK and suffer no long term injuries. Best of luck.

 

[Shifty Powers]

I would still get checked out in your case. Just to be sure. But I really hope the issues with your wife normalise and she gets better with no long lasting side effects. Sorry to hear what she is dealing with now.

Keep us posted on the Ford end of it. You said they were sending out a Rep to look at the truck right?

 

[CobraBob]

Thanks man. Luckily Mass has stringent laws about coverage plus the truck is owned by a business, he was a working for them. The Wife is still very sore and having issues. The impact caused a hiatal hernia (her stomach was pushed upward through the top of her diaphragm and part of her stomach remained that way) which has resulted in reflux, trouble keeping food down, difficulty breathing, and general discomfort. She may have to have surgery at some point as a result. She has several hematomas on her waist, chest, lower leg, and back. Her T9 which was originally thought to be fractured suffered damage to the surrounding tissue and is causing her pain as well. The pain in her chest is worse than it would be as well be cause she got bolt-ons in February.

I pray that she has a fast recovery. Those are some serious injuries. Thank God it wasn't worse. You have to be so careful nowadays, with so many drivers distracted while driving. Not saying the other driver was distracted, but it happens way too often, resulting in unnecessary and often very serious accidents.

It probably did. I just know there wasn't enough time to add it on the 2015.

 

[Riddla]

^^ they did get them starting in 2016.
Only the regular cab and Raptor dont have the crash bars.

 

[Sonic605hp]

Thanks Bob. Yea, I'm not sure what the hell he was thinking. I could see him looking straight ahead and not texting or anything that I noticed. Maybe he was just having a shit day.

How did the driver side mirror get broken? From the force of the collision? I sure hope your wife recovers fully.

My wife hit a big concrete barrier in her new Jeep Grand Cherokee recently. From the front third of the front bumper back to the driver side door was smashed. Split the rim in half and even the engine bucket had to be replaced. Her head hit the steering wheel and no air bags deployed.

Over $9K in damages and 2 bulging disks now needing treatments or surgery. No one knows why the bags didnt deploy. Sensors were even damaged.

 

[Sonic605hp]

^^When it hit the folding mirrors slapped forward, only one broke though.

 

[Sonic605hp]

Welp, it looks like the truck is going to be totaled, the frame was damaged and in order to repair it correctly the motor, fenders, cab, and bed would have to be pulled making the repair cost astronomical. The good news I guess is that I found a '17 platinum 3.5EB with the new 10 speed that was a demo for an absolute steal. It's not the color I would pick if I were to have another one built but it will do and I'll feel better about it knowing that I saved $17k vs ordering a brand new '18 which I would have configured almost identically. Let the mods begin. (Again)

 

[AustinSN]

Nice truck.

Sorry to hear about your wife, hopefully she makes a full recovery.

 

[Sonic605hp]

Thanks man! Luckily I kept most of my stock parts and my insurance company is allowing me to swap a lot of the aftermarket stuff that I have on the truck and it'll transfer over to the '17, it's especially nice because my Mother just got me new Infinity Kappa Perfect speakers and a Kicker woofer and amp enclosure for the rear. Now I just have to have 5startuning unlock my SCT x4 tuner once the truck is delivered. But my first mod will be to powder the rims black, paint the rear 'platinum' panel (that I hate) body color as well as the chrome door handles (which I also hate). Like I said I wouldn't have ordered a truck that way or in that color but the price was too good.

Nice truck.

Sorry to hear about your wife, hopefully she makes a full recovery.

 

[DSG2003Mach1]

hope the wife will be feeling better soon. The new truck looks great

Did 17s get the 2nd gen 3.5 in addition to the 10sp?

Feel stronger than yours was stock, or has that been too long to recall?
