I had a bad day!

Feces happens...even to the best.

As long as you walked away in one piece, you still won that round.

You might get the ins co to pay more if you can provide the receipts for the motor & show it was in better than average shape.

 

I had that happen to me a long time ago. There were fairly new shoulders and an all night rain,I was easing onto the shoulder to help a uncle of mine. He was broke down and pulled into an old road, which was solid. I was empty and started easing over and that was all she wrote. The right front steer went down instantly and I was along for the ride. 2 wreckers and a hundred bucks later I was back on the road. That was the good ol days.Im glad you weren't hurt Brick.

 

Man that will ruin your day. Bet your pucker factor was off the charts. Good thing you didn't have a load of new lexus or Mercedes on there. At least your ok that's all that really matters. Well it's done and there is always tomorrow. Good luck!

 

Awww Brickman I feel for you!!! I'm so glad you're ok. How scary!!
Etosha's right it's a wake up call for all of us so grateful you posted it.

I'm praying for a dry season here. Those ditches on the dirt (solid mud) roads we took last year were deep enough to lose a truck in. My hands were soaked from sweat! All you could do once you made your turn was go between 7-12 MPH and constantly fight the arse end from swinging up around front for 8 miles of that stuff. Difference being not the speed you had to deal with!! Again, I'm grateful you're ok and saying a prayer for ya to not get taken to the cleaners at every turn to come these next couple of days

 

I like it too lol!!!

 

The bridge motors were used in the 02-03 models, but I have seen a bunch of '00 listed with C15's, which would be a Bridge.

Odds are that the Yellow hunk under the hood is an 'E' CAT.

 

Yeah, I wouldn't worry about the difference; it could be an 'E' with a C15 sticker. And the turbo stuff, you're right, but none of that makes any sense! Oh well, good luck with the truck search, that is one sweet looking ride!
