    Tell your insurance agent about the snorkel... maybe it will qualify for a rates discount.

    You guys crack me up I am currently shopping around for another Commander. Slim pickings though as mine was pretty well loaded and I'm (going to say the wife is) a bit picky about getting one as close to the previous as possible. I tried talking the insurance company into fixing ours but, no dice. Thinking again, I can see where they wouldn't want to risk prolonged repairs, though it was only in the water for 3-4 minutes, It took them two weeks to get an appraiser out to start making decisions. That's plenty of time for any water that may have gotten into the transfer case, transmission, differentials to start causing problems. Also, if I keep it, I'd still owe $4k after the payoff and still $10k in repairs that may not be as simple as a motor swap. Totaling it out, the payoff offer was enough to pay it off without using GAP insurance and a little bit of money coming back to apply to a down for a replacement. I really miss that car The rental for the last week has been a Yukon and it just doesn't measure up.
