Hi All, this is where I’m at. A rod went through the engine. Why or how is yet to be determined. The coolant was at around 196 when the oil pressure dropped. I guess they call this hill 4 mile hill. I’d like to rename it 60 series ROD Killer Hill.
I pulled the coach off the interstate one mile to the off ramp with my ford Raptor. Very very slowly.
I have found an engine that has less than 80,000 on a remand about 400 miles from me for $14,000.
Tow will be about $650-$800 going 20 miles to the Peterbilt shop that is going to install the newer engine for $5,000 to $6,000. The manager has already came out to look at it and is happy it is on a slide rail.
Hopefully tomorrow we will be at the shop and on our way to purchase the new engine. They will start the install on Wednesday. I’ll keep you guys posted how things turn out.
