With the motor running wide open I doubt he couldve gotten it into any gear. They don't shift anything like a car.Originally posted by line-em-up View PostComment

That's a $40,000 problem.
I quoted a 60 series detroit the other day at 32k just for the engine, and it didn't come with everything. You'll have some gaskets, labor and miscellaneous parts to add to that.
The transmissions have what's called a stop brake on the input shaft, when you push in the clutch it stops the input shaft from spinning to make it easier to go into gear. I'm not sure if it would've helped in this instance, but it could.Originally posted by JP135 View PostComment

Battery cut off and clamp/disconnect the fuel line?!Comment

How would the battery cutoff help? There are no spark plugs.Originally posted by diablo rojo View PostComment

Glad that shit never happened to me! 14 liter Cummins?Comment

I'm thinking more of closing the supply of fuel. Not sure if the fuel pump would be affected by a battery cut off.
I'm curious about solutions on this since I'm a OTR driver myself.Comment
