Is this fixable or totaled?

    For the first time, I hit a deer this morning heading to work. It happened on ramp and I was going roughly 60-65 mph to merge on to highway. So I have front end damage and some to my fender flares. Filed a report. As I wait for my insurance claim, I’m just wondering what you guys think. The truck still starts/runs, airbags didn’t deploy. Can’t get the hood to open. I’m sure by it being 18 years old and having over 260k miles it may not be worth as much. I know on my last appraisal value it’s roughly $7k.

    100% fixable..unsure of what insurance will say. Buy it back and fix for under 1k, if they decide to salvage it.

    Does the transmission fluid have a separate cooler on these trucks , or does it go through the radiator? If it goes through the rad , a hairline crack could allow coolant into the trans and destroy
    it quickly , seen it happen. Need to get that hood open to inspect things, but you still wouldn't know if the rad was intact and not a danger to what could be happening.
