Little things create big problems...... I had a clamp let go on one of my air to air boots a while back while in a hard pull, anyone that has knows that sound.

Thought for sure I lost another one tonight while pulling on a grade, got over the top and had to go about a mile or so to find a decent place to get on the shoulder. I jumped out and tilted the hood and as I did I heard the rpm’s increase and keep increasing..... long story short.... turbo let go and pumped oil into the intake and she went for a moonshot, knowing the potential end results “cast iron shower” I got away from it after I hit close to 3000 rpms! Needless to say it pumped the oil pan dry and eventually slowed to a total stop as the crank seized up...... time for a out of frame if the block is usable. Setting on 79 waiting for a tractor to get my trailer, wrecker be here in the morning for my truck.....

Ah crap.

I got one that you're more than welcome to use in the meantime. Long ways away, and no sleeper, but the a/c works!

Seriously, it's just sitting!

You don’t know how much I truly appreciate that!!! To be honest, I’ve had another truck in the works for a while, time to go it now lol....... not going to say what it is or where it is, but I think you will greatly appreciate it, especially when I’m done lol.

Sorry to see that old schooler. I put a ball valve in my turbo oil feed and a section of rubber in the drainpipe when i rebuilt my 466. I dont know id have the nerve during a runaway but the idea was shut the ball valve and cut the rubber part of the drainline with pocket knife if she gets goin. I keep a basketball in that truck to plug the air cleaner housing and buy some time if it happens.

Can't wait to see what's up your sleeve. You didn't finagle your way into an old Monfort Amodel did ya?

My fear would be loosing work and contracts while down. I suspect the people you haul for will be glad when you're back in the game!
