Ran over deer carcass

Chuy · 04-01-2015, 04:23 PM

I did the same thing Live in Colorado and was headed to Missouri. I went over the dear at 100MPH, huge thump. There was no change in anything oil temp and the sensors looked good so I kept cruising. I looked under neath and found hair and blood but that was it. I also had Z Speed under shroud

Sounds like that shroud saved your ***. But 100mph is fast enough that you wind up cutting through and don't absorb much of the impact (dependent of course on height, angle, density at point of impact..etc). Doesn't mean it'll save everyone.

OP, just like everyone else said and not that I really need to back anyone up but yes an inspection will be required. Whether it is safe or not for that trip? Hard to tell. Safety first. Have her get it inspected before she drives home.

I had the same thing happen to me in another car. The hair, blood, and guts stunk for a month as everytime I would drive the car, the exhaust would heat up and burn off more of the bloody mess.....

I've done this a couple of time.

I broke the secondary O2 sensor plugs that mount on the tranny.

Now I have them taped together.

Thanks a lot for your input. She called a Nissan dealer and they said since there are no leaks or engine alerts, it is okay to drive home. She took a look under the car and saw some deer parts hanging down

. Also, it started to stink pretty bad. I guess it could be worse as it happened while going 70 mph on a highway.

I did that in my Evo. It's like growing old,you'll find hair in places you never thought you would.
