Truck hits overpass, drags roof for 3 miles


Looks like @retiredTxfeeder got lost in Philly last night....

Maybe you know... my Sprinter has had a problem for a week or so. When accelerating from a stand still, especially going up a hill, it all the sudden looses power almost as if it’s starving for gas. Feels like it might shut off. Mechanic replaced fuel and air filters and something else. Still the same problem. It’s not as bad if I ease into it. Any ideas?

target practice?

Sounds like a throttle position sensor issue or a boost sensor issue (if it's a diesel).

 

[1BROWNWRENCH]

Ups ditched Sprinters a while ago. Too fragile and expensive.

About all they were good for is air drivers.

Transmissions and rear axles were not up to the stop and go. Outrageously expensive to replace and service in general.

Had one forced on me a few years ago. It did not last long as it was already on its last legs enginewise.

Nothing better on a 280 mile a day route

It is diesel.

I’m sure they’re not up to all the miles and the driving on dirt roads.

Good for him. It IS discrimination since there is no law limiting the sale to 21 and up.

I believe there is a law against age discrimination.

I’m pretty sure a business reserves the right to not serve someone as long as it is a universal application of refusal. “No shoes, no shirt, no service”.

They have some around here.

Yeah. I realized I was wrong when I looked up the age discrimination law. Who knows though what may come from this?

Well, glad you know you were wrong!








Lmao, just kidding.

Lol. I don’t like to be wrong but I have no problem admitting when I am.

Don't know where this low clearance overpass is, but it has a camera, youtube channel and a website dedicated to the drivers who ignore the warning signs. Some of them are pretty comical.

Seriously? Would it be too much to ask to either lower the road bed or raise the bridge a foot or two? They have to realize what a problem spot that is. That's a lot of carnage.
