I couldn't find the right place for this thread so I just picked this one, if there's one where this should go please move it for me.
So we've been having a lot of rain out here and roads are bad. I was driving on the gravel on my way home, I hit a huge patch of mud, lost control and went in the ditch and hit the bank. It really didn't damage much, basically just the bumper got smashed, I wasn't going that fast, maybe 20-25 mph when I hit the ditch, but evidently it was fast enough to deploy the airbags. I managed to get the truck out of the ditch and drove it back 5 miles to our shop.
I'm gonna replace the bumper, but the real question is, what all do I need to replace besides the airbags? Would I need the front impact sensors too? Also, is there a certain procedure to follow like to reset the airbag dash light, etc? I know have the battery disconnected before I start anything, I know how to remove the one on the steering wheel since I've done it before to replace cruise control buttons, but I'm not sure about the passenger side. Any advice is appreciated, I'd like to know what all I need to buy before I go to the junkyard. Thanks guys..
