  1. I had the same thing happen to me. I also had a 06 W900 and about 5 o'clock one morning I was driving along and all the lights went out,

    headlights, running lights, and the dash. Luckily I was coming up on a gas station and swung in there to check it out. I checked all my

    battery cable connections and everything seemed fine, so I started it up and everything came back on. I don't know if that actually fixed

    it or if it was just a fluke. It did it one more time after that momentarily but never again. All I can say is check batteries, connections and

    fuses. Electrical is always a pain, usually something simple that causes major problems.

  2. A friend passed this picture along to me of this supertrucker award winner. I guess this guy fell asleep? and ran off I-39 just

    south of Rockford IL and hit the sign for the next exit and had it knifed into the trailer. Very custom!

  3. Sycamore? Tenah said they were gonna get a new one but was prob gonna be a Pete.

    Yes. They got a Granite. The DM was in the corner under a pile of snow. The DM also needed help, Tina said it wouldn't shift

    into the high side any more, and had a few other issues. Also if you head in there in the spring there are some new changes.

    They put in a new scale, scale house, and wheel wash. The haul road will head due west from the entrance. The barns and

    house will be demolished for the new road. I've heard they might go to a badge system like McCook and Bartlett, but none of

    it is up and running just yet, might be a month or two yet. Good news is the wheel wash is supposed to be like Lisbon's and

    Boughton's where it just gets the tires and not all over the truck. Should be interesting.

  4. Boy we can't even get our '90's Oshkosh 6X6 up on the hill, to water for us! That's a fairly new Granite, like you said.........must be nice! The "Out of Service" tag on it could mean several things as they are regularly inspected by MSHA (Mine Safety Health Administration). Could be as simple as a light out that could prompt them to tag it out. Either that or the said driver has not been tasked trained(often done by a dealer rep) on that certain vehicle. Who knows. Al

    It dropped the driveshaft in the yard. I guess it came from another pit in TN and it sounds like they beat the sh-t out of it and sent it north,

    so now the truck is in the shop getting patched back together.

  5. Does anyone remember this yellow B75, this picture was taken at the Waupan Wisconsin 1991 showattachicon.gifYellow B model at Waupan Wisconsin 1991.jpg

    That must have been the first time they refurbished that truck. I have a picture of it from Walcott, late 90's early 2000's.

    In my picture it has alum budds on the rear and a 48" Pete bunk instead of a 36". I think I like it with the 36" a little

    more, seems to fit the look of the truck a little better in my opinion. Was a sharp looking truck though.

  6. I hope when every one of those P'sOS gets to where they're going their 72 virgins turns out to be the male actors that were turned down for parts in "Revenge of the Nerds".

    Family Guy had their own version of that a couple years ago.

  7. I like the new thread idea. All makes and model included. There are several trucks from my area that just disappeared.

    Got to wonder if they get wrecked, redone, or just parked in a garage never to see the light of day again. I have seen a

    couple show trucks get totaled in bad wrecks in the past couple years. There was a cool W900 A model by me that

    disappeared a couple years ago and I ran across some pictures of it in Canada pulling a 3 axle Landoll type trailer for

    a land clearing service. The guy had it all shined up. At least some go on to a new life. I know my Dads first three Macks

    all got destroyed after they were sold, and I would need a whole new thread to tell the rough life his first Pete had after

    he sold it.
