    Do you remember the days when cabs were actually bolted onto a frame? You’d maybe see one out of a hundred severe enough to shear the bolts or mounts but now it seems like every truck wreck involves a cab decapitation and a bonus engine ejection.

    And as of late a lot of the engine ejections involves trucks equipped with Cummins engines!lol

    That's because nobody has managed to make a motor mount strong enough to contain the mighty Cummins!!!

    Or the Cummins is just unhappy with a modern ugly hood over it and looking for any opportunity to make an escape.

    Funny enough you never see a Detroit hardly ever be ejected they are bolted in tight in the narrow cascadia hood...

    Take a look that the Pete that became an impromptu hood ornament on a BNSF train in Leeds,North Dakota. That Paccar engine stayed put between the frame rails even though the truck was taken for a ride!
