“Body frame has rot holes throughout undercarriage. New frame needed. While driving, I went over a speed bump and heard a loud boom from underneath the truck. Upon investigating, it was determined that the driveshaft broke off n was lying on the axel. Aaa was called and immediately towed the truch 1 mile to our mechanic. After a thorough inspection, it was determined that a new driveshaft was needed and upon further inspection, the mechanic spotted numerous pitting rusted holes throughout the frame. Determined that said truck was a total loss.”
