Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
You know the TV show, " Highway To Hell".....
The dangerous incline on Hwy1, British Columbia, Canada......
I went down that 11% grade, west bound..... Just a mile down from the top, my diesel engine through a rod..... Immediately lost all air brakes.
..... I was going for a ride...... I drove next to the right-hand cement barrier, turned my tire against the concrete and in about 200 yards, came to a stop.
It had no jake or even an electric brake on drive shaft......
Scared me to death, but saved the cargo ( & Me )
I was towed down to N. Vancouver for the fix.
( After driving from S. California, to St Louis , Saskatoon Canada.... I figured finally what that silly knock was !! )
