This Kenworth had just one trailer on, but halfway up the hill, the dream ended in an oily, sudden, smoky shutdown.
The truck shut down — pulled up as safely as he could and got out to check. What he saw would make any one’s heart sink: a river of engine oil running down the hill behind him.
And then came the real kicker — the unmistakable sight of a conrod hanging out the side of his block. It had thrown a leg out of bed.
Game over.
Towed, Assessed, and Changed Out.
The Kenworth was towed straight to Webbie’s Mechanical. As soon as it hit the bay, our team knew this wasn’t a patch job. This was a full-blown heart transplant.
Throwing a rod like means there’s a gaping hole in the side of the block. Not just something you can weld up.
We pulled the engine, checked every mount, and installed a brand-new block .
A New Heart and a Second Chance
By the time this Kenworth rolled back out of the workshop, it wasn’t limping. It was roaring.
The hill that broke it was now just another memory in the mirrors.
