cut the cross member or scrap the truck ,thats the choice ,other wise the repair far exceeds the value of the vehicle .
we are talking about 15 year old trucks here not a just out of warrenty car.
The motors are "million mile motors" which means 400k-600k on then is quite likely, if you do the upkeep and maintenance.
The more important value to me is that I couldn't replace it with a new truck for less than $60,000. That makes it invaluable. Even better, I don't have to deal with DEF or DPF or SCR or super finicky Bosch fuel pumps that grenade themselves. As long as I don't mind going deaf on the highway and slowing down a bit on steep hills, I'm okay!
