39 Baby Mack Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 The rod looks like it's whole, what in the hell does the crank and block look like??!!Probably never made one little noise right up to the time this happened and the oil pressure was normal too!!Ron Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38182-grenading-60/#findComment-271417 Share on other sites More sharing options...
220cummins Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I've seen some 60 Series do some crazy things. The first one I worked on; I had to burn (oxy/acetylene) the piston out of the liner because it was wedged. The rod was flopping around in there.

Ezrider Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 im guessing the motor ran away before it went boom.i have a rod sitting on one of my shelves out of a car engine that i blew, i picked the rod up off the ground. it was a lot more mangled than that one though.

ranchhopper Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 A friend of mine had that happen with a cat engine said all he could do is get out of the way and let her go it did the same thing no way of shutting it down.

theakerstwo Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Back around maybe 01 or 02 DD had a batch of bad pistons to get in some engines. The crown or top of the piston would debond from the frame of the piston or the part that goes around the wrist pin.If the driver in most cases shut it down when it happened it would not be a total lose.But many would drive on to the next exit and some times the top of the piston would wedge in the top of the liner side ways and the rod will go some were else.Most all other engines had same problem to some degree. I think the C12 cat was more often. 1 Quote glenn akers Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38182-grenading-60/#findComment-271459 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigdogtrucker Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Guy with a new Volvo tri axle (Volvo power) had an engine do that in my area few years back.Truck was near new and had low miles,wasn't even going fast at the time!

Phase 1 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 A friend of mine had that happen with a cat engine said all he could do is get out of the way and let her go it did the same thing no way of shutting it down.Snub it off by putting it in high gear and let the clutch out while holding the brake. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38182-grenading-60/#findComment-271469 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmerrill0516 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Looks like the wrist pin or maybe the crank journal is in the middle picture of to the side...UGLY mess of parts. It is hard to believe that is even possible but the laws of physics always prevail. Congress can't even repeal them! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38182-grenading-60/#findComment-271471 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MACKTRUCKS4 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Snub it off by putting it in high gear and let the clutch out while holding the brake.When they run away, you can't get it into any gear. Had a friend loose a motor in an Rd a few years ago, could not get it into any gear. Ended up losing the motor. The only hope you have is to take away the air, block the air cleaner. 1 Quote Live every day like it's your last, because one of these days, it will be.

gearhead204 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 don't know about the 4 stroke d.d. but the 2 stroke would accelerate at 2 grand / sec. so you almost have 2 seconds to get a phone book (bigun) over tubo/blower, coveralls clipboard what ever. So if any thing to snuff the intake is more than 2 seconds away from the intake, run for your life.......you will have lots of time to spread the floor dry after a bref 4-6 second last screaming of the demon Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38182-grenading-60/#findComment-271562 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Mack Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 this was unfortunately a common event on the 4cyl version, the series 50 with the balance shafts in the oilpan..... we were losing them at about 700,000km on our Orion highway coaches... left part numbers and oil/coolant down our local highways... dot had words with the management and they started to pull at 650km...on teardown it was discovered in many cases it was #2 piston seizing and there were some known issues about cracks developing in the crank which eventually gave way. Crazy to see an ejected conrod complete with the crank segment still attached and correctly torqued. Worse one I saw had the complete block and crank at #2 cleaned off, block integrity front to rear was maintained by the head, should have taken a photo...BC Mack Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38182-grenading-60/#findComment-271830 Share on other sites More sharing options...
