    Who can say Maybe new to the Truck?

    Had no idea what things should feel like driving the truck.

    I am sure they had no idea the cab was bouncing just more then it should be.

    Then again How can all the bolts fail or fall out Bolts to short only about1/2 the nut holding

    I could mention nasty divorces but I won`t.

    I wonder if it could be the result of overtightening. It would be easy to get overzealous with a cheater on those.

    Somewhere in GA. I see GSP tags on the patrol car. The cab coming off in a crash isn't always a bad thing. That could have saved the passengers life.

    Right up until the battery connections came off

    Then the ECM would go into hibernation and forget it ever happened.

    Sometimes you just need to be thrown clear of the accident.

    Crazy how both accidents pictures had the same basic resting places. Both frames upside down, both cabs dislodged in front of the truck.
