Thats such a crime, they should have just sold the truck instead of trashing it,or at least part it out, what a waste.

If they followed the guidelines for the cash for clunker program then they would have put some type of stuff in the crankcase that causes the engine to seize. It will completely destroy the block so it cannot be reused.

the sad thing about all that is that, that truck probably got better mpg than whatever they traded it in on

it is sodium silicate that is used to ruin the entire engine.

they do it s it's harder to keep your car on the road. And no chance of getting the engine for a replacement. It's BS.

I know it kind of PI$$e$ me off, they are destroying perfectly good trucks and cars for nothing why dont they instead of completely wasteing them give them to the pepole on welfare who cant afford a car to drive. It would be better than just ruining them for no good reason !
That really just rubbs me wrong big time!
