    They never do lol. I've asked to have a couple of threads I created to be deleted and they're still there. You'd think there would be some kind of alarm to alert the driver that the dump is vertical.

    Actually its pretty easy to do. Its just a lever in the cab. If a piece of clothing is droped over it, and you lift the clothing you will engage the lift. Then its only a matter of time till the engine has pumped enough oil into that cylinder.

    Sounds like a major design flaw to me. That happens more than it should.

    did anyone else see the guy on the bridge, just before the truck hit it stop and watch the truck hit the bridge, I would of run like my butt was on fire the other way.
