Trucks and property can be replaced.
That topic made me think we had lost
a close friend.

Yes it is sad, BUT no one is dead.
Well till Anthony gets his hands on them that is.

I am just happy that it was not a person that we care for.

I hope that you have cameras up.

I have had trucks broken into 3 times.
I have had friends steal from me. That is
one that really hurts. Loss of trust. The
same thing goes for when someone takes
something from you. You take some time
to get over the violation that you feel.

MAN So So Sorry Anthony and Julie , I sure hope the Cam's got some pics for you I think It's time for us FTEers to go Hunting Lil Basterdsbreath deep and call Insurance

 

Regrettably, I was unable to join you guys at the rally. I would've LOVED that getaway. Looking at the pictures, I have LOTS of questions. Anthony, great minds think alike so I'm pretty sure you know what those questions will be. Beyond that......

WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT??????!!!!!!!!!

 

i was lucky enough to be there in May, and I fell the pain from those pictures.

Praying they find something nice to replace it, and the perps get what they deserve.. soon!

 

I know I made the thread name sound bad,,, I did that to get your alls attention. It worked huh. Lol. But this truck didn't get taken from us or from our possession,,, it was taken from the American Royal. I felt like someone died when I saw the pics. I have personal relationships with all of our customers,, and I get down n dirty with the trucks too. That truck was immaculate!!!! The low-life thieves tool the mirrors,, tailgate,, and it appeared to have been stripped of the dash. Morons didn't take the big $$$$ parts,, like the engine or trans. Cool thing is the owner said he's comfortable and knowledgable of the 6.0 n he's thinking about going with an 07.

If that would ever happen to my truck,, is bury it in the shop lot!!!! Lol

 

What the heck is wrong with people. Stealing is bad enough but to destroy the things people work hard to buy and keep nice is just ridiculous.

 

I've had seven cars stolen and only recovered one - and I found it, a month later walking to school because I didn't want to tell my dad another car had been stolen.

 

So did you go steel a car that Matched and give it back to dad just have to make sure the Cigar marks on the window are the same

 

No, LOL, but let's just say that I learned my lesson about karma way back then.

 

Unfortunately, Our trucks are pretty easy to break into and steal.

A co-worker of mine had his 2000 F250 stolen from our company lot and driven across town so they could steel the wheels and fairly worn out tires. They left it sitting on the brake discs!!

They ripped up the interior and sprayed the inside with WD-40.

It was found within a couple of days and he's back driving it. (After the insurance co replaced the wheels, tires, interior, and repainted it!!)


I guess I am going to revisit a hidden FICM KILL switch!!


Cheers,


Rick

 

I actually took that truck apart yesterday. I couldn't believe the injector harnesses were ok!!!! Got the heads off last night. How fast can I lift a cab??? Lol. The chassis is gonna live again,,, someday. But I'm scrapping the cab. That was a dirty freakin job tho. My hot tank to the rescue. I talked Julie into us rebuilding it and doin some paint. It's gonna be another colorful engine. Not like mine tho, gonna be the power for our loaner truck. Do it's gotta be shop colors,, red blue n silver. Here's some pics.

Here's where it was dropped



Thankfully I had a steering column that I could bolt in to steer it in!! Lol







The transmission doesn't even need cleaning. A lil heat tho







The top of the oil filter and stand pipe was melted,, but the bottom was fine



Couldn't believe they were ok





IPR heat shield did its job. Not all trucks have them,, but it's a foil wrap with a snap to lock on and completely cover the IPR



Looks like the gen 2 can be reused.



Good thing we didn't waste any time to get it done. The engine was full of water from the firefighters.

 

Double post

 

That's impressive, I figured it would be a total loss. Good deal

 

Well, it likleyWAS a "Total Loss" in the eyes of the insurance company!

Now it's a Salvage!

 

not a total, 4 good tires on there too
