I zoom therefore I am.
It would not be hard at all to find out what truck it was... those animal control officers have specific areas they patrol. Call them up and send them a bill

How important are those braces? one is right behind the catalytic converter, the other is farther back by the resonator. Am I dealing with a frame issue, or are they there just to keep the exhaust system from falling out?

I'm not so sure if that's under comp. My insurance said if I hit anything at all, it's collision (Oh, I know. And they gave me $50 more than the max payout w/o affect my rate, so they can jack me $400 over the next 3 years. Aholes). Comprehensive will cover hit and run though, so unless you file it as the dog hit you and die
Come to think of it, my brother did hit a deer and it was covered under comp, so I guess it depends on your insurance company.

as long as IT HIT YOU, it was un avoidable . . it is comp
and since the dog was still moving when we met . . it is comp. . . I hope
still no word ofrom the animal control in that city.

so animal services claims it was a coyote.
uh . . . okay
but the 2 cross members are off now. I am hunting them down. The cat is thrashed where the O2 sensor goes in to it. I am hoping the cat is not bad.
Hopefully a little welding . . .a couple new cross members . . and a new O2 sensor and I am good.
Or my insurance company said I could make a claim, pay my $100 deductable and get a whole new exhaust system . everything behind the headers

That dog didn't leave a pair of shoes behind, right?
Vinegar rinse followed by soap and water wash will reduce burnt puppy smell
