Look again, it isn't the frame, the alternator is wider and still inside the frame.

[Joey Mack]

Yeah i see it now, sorry,  not so bad then.  Compared to tjc s story.. 

[Geoff Weeks]

I read a story in the news where a EMD shucked a piston into a house, now that is dramatic!

[Joey Mack]

Oh hell, for sure.  I have been near a hand full of runaway engines, but never one that popped. Those came in on a hook. one E-6 we got would actually run. I was a new guy so therefore i was a witness as it was driven into the shop by a pro.  Yes, i was on speedy dry duty.

I had an ASET throw a rod once. Left a gaping whole in my checking account.

Me and the guy help'n change it cut the rod off with a torch. Then we started it like that. We got bored wait'n for it to sieze up.

I had a F600 ford with a 361 that blew a rod out the side and it ran for a long time. I drove it a couple of miles home. And then moved it around the yard a whole bunch of times before I sold it to some kid that went to school with my brother

That truck seems too good to part out
