Ok so some may remember my idea to part out the rover because the driveshaft broke and ruined the transmission.... well all is fixed for $500 dollars out of my pocket!

Now some may ask WHAT!!!!

The answer is AWESOME insurance. The rover just hit the 140,000 mile mark and a pot hole was struck causing the driveshaft to break. So, the bill was $4000 and all we paid was the $500 dollar deductible.

So to check things off the High Milage Maintenance List: For $500

Replace non-serviceable drive shaft X
Change Transmission Fluid X
Oil Change X
Change Transfer-case Oil X
Reseal Leaking T-case X
Alignment X
Change Differential Oil X

That is what I call a deal. Thanks insurance.

 

Sounds like a great deal. But what about the damage to the tranny you thought had happened?

 

Dont worry your ins will go up......Just wait till renewal time...

 

Should have mentioned they replaced the transmission with a used one.

You are very likely right. I hope it doesn't go up too much.

 

worth it..

 

Heck of a pot hole.....

 

If they do raise your rates, move to another company.
