Wrecked my 05 Dakota (165k mi) and don't have the funds to repair it.

THE BAD:
Lost the driver's headlight, front bumper, power steering pump pulley, and slightly bent the radiator. The hood is dented, but opens and closes securely. Driver's side door doesn't open enough to get inside due to the bent fender. Starts with no issues.

THE GOOD:
2 new tires, new front end suspension, Dakota bedliner included.

Fix it. Trucks are expensive even used ones. You will also have to pour money into the used ones. By the way have you replaced the transmission cooling line? I am having a hard time installing the return line.
