Americas toughest truck

Rut said somewhere, can't remember where he said it though, that the truck was losing oil pressure and while he wanted to slow it down to keep it going the producers told him to keep going as it would make it more exciting when it died. So probably threw a rod or something. It might have been on the ISSCA forum that we are both members of although I didn't know it at the time. :D Rut's probably my favorite guy there because he likes what I like in cars, GM B bodies from the 90s, and Dodge muscle cars.
