    Best of luck Op. that is horrible. I hope i never have to go thru what you are dealing with right now.

    A word of advice....when you either get it back or buy a new one, install a hidden kill switch. Not battery kill, that’s easy to find, run it off the fuel pump or ecm.

    Try to look on the bright side. I see in the pics that it looks like there's an epu so Im guessing its a Maxxforce engine.

    If I were you Id thank whoever stole it before that truck bankrupt you in repair bills.

    Did it have a trailer hooked up with cargo in it? Is it an International Prostar with Maxxforce?

    What a horrible thing to happen to you! You have my deepest sympathy. Maybe the guys are right though...everything happens for a reason. Hang on to that..and choke the insurance guys til they pay up!
     
    Grubby and Woodys Thank this.

    They did you a favor on that Nostar Prostar... just write it off on taxes as a favor and go buy a real truck with a C15 in it

    Im not financial expert here but I would replace my lost income asap driving something, somewhere, for someone. While the rest of that hopefully resolves itself at least you've got some bread going your way.
