1. Calm down a skosh. This won't get resolved anytime soon.
2. Keep in your back pocket that you can potentially accuse the adjuster of anything, including wanting to total your vehicle so he can get his hands on it. Be careful, be wise. He's done his/her job rather poorly thusfar.
3. Repair estimates are free from major collision repair centers. For starters, get your truck home ASAP. Keep it in your possession at all costs until you decide a course of action. If you have the time, drive it to a major collision repair center and get an accurate estimate for cost to fix using OEM parts. Beg the shop to verify that all OEM parts are available and stated on the estimate.
4. Have your OWN insurance company give you a current replacement cost of your vehicle pre-accident. With any luck, this number will be more than that from #3.
At that point, you've got the other insurance company dead to rights and armed with good data. Alternative facts are unacceptable going forward.
