Hi,

How hard was it hit? Can you hear the fuel pump prime when you first turn the key? I ask because the ground for the fuel pump is on the left rear of the frame rail. It may have been damaged.

If you don't hear it, see if it starts with starting fluid and then it stalls. If it does, then we know it's fuel related.

Let me know what you find.

Take care,

Joe
