<p>[QUOTE="ironeagle2006, post: 9928409, member: 15710"]The worse one that did NOT put me on the side of the road with was when I had a transmission go wonky down in Alabama. I was driving a 88 KW T600 that I swear was built for a tanker outfit. Why try all Aluminum parts on the freaking thing including the freaking frame and one 125 gallon tank. Tare weight was under 15K pounds with everything in it. Well the transmission refused to range shift into Low and I called in. The boss said limp it home if you can empty. I was 900 miles out I brought her home empty. They pulled the transmission on Monday after I got in on Saturday. What did they find in the transmission. Try a freaking broken Main shaft that had snapped in half. Boss was ready to dispatch a recovery truck if I had not been able to limp home. Needless to say that one was fun.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
