Trust me guys When I get some pics I'll get them posted. Well if you want to give me your cell # JKM I'll get them to you if you PM it to me. New development today, I talked to the shop foreman at the dealership and where there puting it back together he told me the engine was fine and needed no repairs. Well today the boss was there and he was talkin to the mechanic who is fixing it, he told the boss the 2 of the main bearings were almost gone and some of the rod bearings were showing severe wear. Humm Kinda makes you wonder how legit some of the shops are.

A little over 20 years ago I drove for Waste Management in Chicago,Il. We hauled trash for city of Chicago to landfill on south side of city.If you come in from Indiana off of I-80 you will see it. Any way I was in landfill one day and a brand new bright RED R-model Mack with a brand new frameless dump was dumping. He got box up and stuff stuck to inside nose of trailer.Guess what happened next......
she went over on passenger side. It was a young inexperienced driver. I cried cause I love those old R-models and it was my favorite color RED. I also saw different Mack same color and trailer combo (rig just a few months old) get a spring mattress and trash wound around drive shaft. It some how caught fire and entire rig burnt to the ground. Aluminum makes a really big pile of metal when melted!!

I flipped our 79 GMC Brigadier 6 years ago. Doing 40 with a load of mud on a state highway. Lost the edge of the pavement. PennDOT paved it two months earlier and didn't build the shoulders up. Almost had to hook a pickup to the single axle we had to get it back on the pavement when my uncle went around the traffic to get the trailer and backhoe.
I still miss that truck.
