    Truckers, lets see your rigs!

    If the lower bars look like this you have a turd. Sitting on level ground if you release the brakes you can probably walk between the axles and push them apart. Someone thought bushings were a bad idea and put metal on metal. Pretty sure that engineer was fired and went back to Europe to...

    Straight pipes and people that use the jakes in all the gears on level ground usually have the rest of the super trucker starter kit. Got one here now fully equipped. Probably has a big 'ole CB handle too. Lol

    Your right, the V8 Scania is the best engine on the planet and it's just a conspiracy as to they aren't just taking this country by storm. The US is just such a small truck market and they wouldn't want to waste time focusing on this tiny place when they have all of Europe.

    Turbo3000D....... Lol hot tune/charger but when it shows its full ISX colors and spits a rod out the side. It will be replaced with something that doesn't drop valves, crack Pistons or get the crank tangled up in the front axle. He's asked about doing this... But I'm afraid it will be...

    8.3L Cummins Transplant

    Oh come on Hill Billy! You can't farmer fix that little issue? Even a truckdriver can come up with a solution to a slight coolant overflow problem. Was delighted when I opened the hood on a truck that was towed in to find only the best drugstore vodka catch can!

    More Cummins fun! 871 with 180k miles #2 and #6 piston cracked. 870 with 30k on overhaul with cracked block. Bravo Cummins, you have one job and that's to build engines. Let's not try to be the best, let's just try to be a fraction better than the other junk available. Idiotic

    8.3L Cummins Transplant

    After talking to more people it seems it's quite common. Pete dealer in TX overhauled one and it puked it's guts out at the traffic light in front of the dealership when the owner was leaving with it. Shop in New England has seen 5 broke. This 871 is new, and I mean brand new. Was started...

    8.3L Cummins Transplant

    The question you should be asking is why the fuk build a truck that NEEDS a doghouse. Owner decided to overhaul it, easier to pull the DH than to pull liners while working in a cave. Oh and I still hate Cummins! In the lot right now, one 870 with a broken crank, one 871 with a broken crank...

    Wasn't dropped, just broke. Had a rash of broken trailers here a few years ago and 1/2 were Reitnouer. One chaparral, 2-3 Ravens, and one old ass steel one that broke at the neck. This one was dropped These just broke.

    Here's how a Western Express mouth breather lined up for a back in door. Oh and he's not even trying to fix it. That's him on the trailer.

    An acert is doable I know, I'm not a fan of the 2pc pistons of the others for HP and this is why. . Not saying they can't do it because there are plenty that do. BUT the one piece steel Pistons can take a punch and keep going.
