Kevin Rutherfrauds $200000 Signature glider truck has complete engine failure!!!

After reading all that tech stuff I believe there are more engineers driving trucks than ex Special forces.

 

I was just thinking about that trailer. Anyone know what happened or did he just pull his usual trick and ignore another failure?

Whatever the source of heat is, KR and Evans says heat= 3-4/10ths better fuel mileage at 200°+ vs a truck running 180°.... so this tells me why they used Evans in the first place.
Then later with the extended life coolant went back in the signature truck, it still wasnt getting mpg's like they thought it was capable of.
I think KR had it in his head that this motor should run hotter to take advantage of the 'heat mpgs' so thats why they choked it out with low rpms, turbo and increased timing

 

Con-Way manufacturing (formerly Road Systems) makes it -- they're the trailer making division of Con-Way Freight, Con-Way Truckload, & Menlo logistics. I looked into buying one, but they weren't interested in making them onesy twosey, & they have no dealer network to place bulk orders.

I called Kevin to tell him about it and he cut me off saying he'd gone over it before and that Conway gets busy. I don't listen every day, but do listen more than most and I hadn't heard anything bad about the signature trailer before...

Met a number. I studied but never worked in engineering, but imagine the draw to get out of the cubicle is strong -- especially if you worked with a lot of bright folks with minimal people skills...

 

Yeah for sure lol. I guess I'll keep following this thread it's entertaining.

 

Way more entertaining &informative then KR ever been....

Isn't that the truth!
...........There are those, because they are lucky in life, always blames the poor guy who has had a little too much bad luck....
Sometimes it is just about the "luck or the lack of it".....

 

DANG!
Is that real story????
