2008 Yukon XL bent frame

[dturfmeister]

The Denali has been totaled by insurance after wife hit a culvert and bent the frame to the point 3 shops have tried to straighten it. Any suggestions on repairs? Not ready to give up on this ride yet. Thanks!

I'd say if 3 shops have tried and failed to straighten the frame, the only other option is to replace the frame. I've seen shops do that on a $60-$70,000 truck but I highly doubt it's worth it on an 08 Denali.

Thanks Rocket. Talked to a guy today that said he has the equipment and the guy to do it. Of course, I still have to see what insurance will sell it to me for and take it to him. Looking for a frame currently also.

frames are "relatively" easy to swap out. is the body of the vehicle damaged or did it stay in the frame?
