same customer, he has 5 that he wants done,  I tried to load a video of the last one 'running' but it was too big..  I finished 2, and the first one is mounted and pumping water on a dust control truck..  I also did the engine in the truck too,, so far all is good..  jojo

I love it Bob,   cars today all look the same no matter the brand,,  No chrome bumpers, no style,,, just 'cut cookies'...  bring it,,, jojo

Yes I drive a 2014 mustang but for the most part everything looks the same people movers there’s no class to most of them now and people don’t really care what they look like Hah Hah

he got lucky, a lot of times they are sucking engine oil  and running on it...  its a scary time when it goes off...  takes a set of Ball's to jump in and try to shut it down, before the boom...  jojo

yrs back at Mack a customer truck (KW coe ??) towed in for bad driveshaft. repairs were made, truck sat 2-3 weeks waiting for $$$ bill to be paid. customer comes in one night = i had the night shift. he climbs in - hits the key = ole DD went to wide open. emergency stop didn't work ; i climbed on back kicked out the wire mesh grate  ; laid between engine and cab to manually flip emer stop. pulled valve covers later on- parts all over inside. only once saw/ heard a mack engine run away.

Too bad about all the damage I have never seen one do that either except for a broken throttle spring but I was able to pull the stop lever … And I had already been driving it about six hours I was in the middle of changing gears when it broke off::: bob

i left mack went to Baskin Robbins ; they had a fleet of 318's and 350DD. number one priority  ==pull all the intake housing and repair/ never seize the emergency flippers .everyone had to be working or truck is parked.  originally they had a small 1500gal fuel tank, always fuel problems. fortunately they upgraded to two 10k tanks ,
