Western Star 6900XD Haul Truck

Paystar said: What I'm wondering is if it ran while it was on it's side and with that breather under water. Click to expand... If the shut down was able as soon as it lost oil pressure it shut down. A truck with specifications like that one with a replacement cost of around {WAG} $280,000 U.S. it will get a replacement cab. At todays replacement costs insurance will repair to $100,000 easily.

Don't know of any at 500K yet but could be, a day cab tri-axle here with 18,000 lb front is running $235,000. But you have to remember your talking about a KW, Freightliner and Star are always under. If it has a KW badge it will cost the next newborn. A full blown KW T990 with condo sleeper and factory installed drop axle with every option is $250,000.

The new one that is same specs as that was $750,000 Canadian last summer.

I'm sure a complete one is.

The misfits are at it again. That's a buried wiggle wagon in front of the D6T in the tailings pond. They GOTTA be working for free because I can't understand how our mine keeps these clowns around.

So which went in first, the dozer or the truck?

My story and I'm sticking to it: The truck backed way in there and floated/stuck. Dozer called to the rescue!! < fanfare of trumpets> NOOObody wanted to set a choker, so the dozer went round back, and Got high centered on the truck poop pile. That is so hard on transmission seals and drivelines. Ask me how I know
