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

Thanks. It's disturbing that Dice was on the same side!

 

None of this truck story makes sense..

I spent some time today talking with my kw salesperson . Who said point blank you can get a tag or pusher axle on a single frame. I know some local dump guys with the 11-5/8 x 3/8 single frame with a factory installed pusher with a lift...doing 4 axle dump work.

So 1/2 double framing a freight truck doesn't add up...

 

I think the problem was the wheelbase was so long. 260 in tandem would be close to 300 single drive axle, set up for pusher.

 

The plot thickens...

On the FB page, the owners posted some more bearing pics. Notably a pair of the used main bearings next to a new one treated with Microblue. Dice gets the award for being the first out of about 20+ posts to observe that the old bearings appear not to have been Microblue coated to begin with due to the lack of evidence in the oil groove, which would never have been in contact with anything to rub/abrade the coating off. Well, that and the appearance of a dry first start.

Looking like the final assembly was "dirtier" than just some crud between a rod cap and bearing. In addition to the careless build, it appears they also didn't get the premium parts they paid extra for.

 

Most of them have been banned from the site because if you don't think exactly like them they won't stop arguing and like to stir up trouble.

Strangely similar to their leader isn't it?

 

I hope they have the guts to stand up to the other parties involved and stop believing every word they tell them. Also, I hope those attending MATS keep Bruce's booth very busy all 3 days of the show

 

I guess we got our answer. Unless it was never micro-blued at all. Spells trouble for somebody.

 

Bad head from corrosion, bad cylinder packs, bad liner protrusion, bad rod bearings, bad main bearings, bad injectors, bad rear engine seal, bad clutch, no grease fittings on cross shafts, front of trans leaking, bad ECM programming, and on and on and on......There is no excuse for this. Plus, I wouldn't have that block no matter what anyone says.

 

As bad as Kevin is, pitching turbo 3000d, he doesn't come out looking worse, except he teamed up with PP, who I think will take a hit on this.
