Back on November 17th I bought an '03 Crew Cab 4x4 from a private seller.
Four days later a guy ran a red light and messed up the front end:

The guy held up the works for a couple of weeks by not calling his insurance company (in KY he has 30 days to call in before they'll accept liability) but yesterday I finally got it back from the body shop:

I like it, it has leather seats and remote start. (And a new front end)

The steering wheel doesn't seem to be centered anymore - is there a quick fix for that or should I take it back to the shop once I return from the holidays?
I also have some pulley or belt noise. It used to be intermittent but I had the shop go ahead and replace belts since the front was going to be wide open anyhow. They did and now there's a more constant whine that I'll have to sort out.
I wonder if it could be the power steering pulley - the steering is a bit heavy and I think there's a leak, so maybe that whole assembly needs some attention.
