This is a video i made while at work. Its about a brand new truck that was being delivered to the kenworth truck dealership i work at here in Denver Colorado.

It was piggy backing 2 other trucks and it had to be towed to our shop and it only has 1,300 miles on the odometer.

Holy molly. That's amazing the forces at work to deform and blow apart metal like that. Was that a result of defective material or the engine being pushed beyond its intended design? Good stuff Trapp!

Hey, Kp.
The wrist pin bushing in the end of the rod spun and blocked the oil flow to the wrist pin. The wrist pin seized and knocked the pin retainer out and the wrist pin slid out taking out the liner. The rest was history.

Lot's of momentum and all heck breaks loose and does alot of damage.
