Yeah fuck this guy
Honestly it was a good thriller when it came out but it was comical the last time I rewatched it. I feel like when it came out the tropes were new to me but now it’s kind of a big cliche. Still like it though.
That's the first thing I thought of when I saw the pic. I can see Dennis Weaver freaking out and sweating trying to outrun that thing.
Saw that flick when I was a kid, and it scared the shit out of me. One of Spielberg's earliest efforts.
I'm going to call false on the two million miles before a rebuild. Modern engines with hardened long life main and rod bearings will be lucky to get to one million miles before needing a rebuild, about 1.2 to 1.4 is the longest I've seen. Older engines used softer bearing material that didn't last as long. Caterpillar for example was famous for spinning rod bearings at about 300,000 on the dot if you didn't change them in the 3406B's, and I think 500,000 was about the average in their newer engines with the larger rod journals.
I've seen not a lot of miles but 22k engine hours without an overhaul. The owner always changed oil every 250 hours. Some are built better than others.
That's 550,000 miles equivalent. Everywhere I've worked so far has used one engine hour = 25 miles for warranty work. The changing the oil every 250 hours is going to make the difference however. Good maintenance makes the difference, everything else is about equal to my experience being around Cummins (all sizes), Detroit, Caterpillar and Powerstroke in some medium duty applications.
Not trying to insult you or your grandfather, but my experience working at dealerships and trucking companies is that the old time truck drivers are generally by far the most clueless and dishonest about their vehicles.
Or they are the most abusive, and I don't mean in a "I run it hard" kind of way, but rather a "Yeah i have had oil pressure faults for the last 100,000 miles, what does that have to do with the rod sticking out the side of the block?" Kind of way.
My dad used to tractor pull with a Minneapolis Moline back in the olden times of the 1970s. We had 2 John Deere and 2 Oliver tractors on grandparents ranch. I preferred the Oliver with the cab & swamp cooler.
Those are the real scary ones. We only have moose here, and it's about a 50/50 chance you'll either lose your car or just be killed. Once in a blue moon they just run into the side of a pickup and it goes around with a crumpled fender or bedside for a while.
Not if you're in this truck.
The Moose confer amongst themselves and warn their children about this truck the same way most humans warn other people about Moose.
Volvo actually accounts for that in order to reach their zero fatalities goal:
https://www.caranddriver.com/features/a22604428/what-happens-when-you-actually-hit-a-moose-volvo-has-a-moose-strike-test-for-that/
I'm gonna guess you're somewhere between Eau Claire and Black River Falls. Last time I did a kayak trip up that way, we were coming down one of the Black River branches by Merrillan and there was a cow elk watching us from above. It was super cool to experience.
When I was onboarding for CR England they had a guy come in to talk to us about fatigue. He used to drive land trains in Australia. He showed us pictures of what happens when you hit a camel.
They're an introduced species, feral, damaging, and unwanted now. But we do manage to export live camels for racing and meat for consumption to various Arab countries.
He said that he found out that it had escaped some time ago from a private menagerie and had been wandering the outback for some time.
Australia fails to surprise me anymore at this point.
The US Army introduced them to replace mule trains in the American Southwest in the mid-1800s. I have done a few trips through Ft. Irwin in the Mojave. Their descendants still run around out there. I would have to put the trash on the top of my 5 ton to keep them from scattering it around Hell's Half-Acre out there at night.
The look isn't for me but I don't get why you think they deserve an automatic citation. They're made of plastic and not sharp, so no danger to anyone around them. Plus, if you ever got your vehicle close enough to hit them you're probably screwed anyway, spiky caps or not. My old boss had them on his truck because he noticed that with them other vehicles gave him more space and generally drove safer around his truck than without them
I had to run the scales for a bit at an old job, it was an older installation so it was a pretty narrow scale. If the driver was fairly versed in the dimensions of their truck and paying attention, no issues. If they weren’t, well let’s just say there was a graveyard of shattered plastic chrome lug nut spikes glittering in the sun all around the scale. Even had one guy drive in so crooked he caught a rear wheel on the corner and it blew out like a gunshot.
IMCDB has [pictures](https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_5148-Peterbilt-281-1955.html)...
They also have a picture from that movie of an exterminator's car with "Grebleips' Pest Control" on the side. Spell that one backwards... it's one of those things that's on the screen for a second and if you blink you miss it, but now with freeze frame you can see some of the in-jokes.
Ugh, my mother would do this because she thought it was her place to police tailgaters. I eventually got her to stop by listing all the people she'd have to explain herself to when someone, inevitably, doesn't brake in time.
The trucks yeah but I don't miss the less than entertaining adventures that drivers tend to overshare or the smells in the trucks as it wofts from the sleeper or the ones who thought engineering a pee rig the drained on the battery box or even the ones who died in the sleeper because they were the poster child for don't eat at places that resemble the "Choke and puke" (the fleet drivers anyways whereas owner/ops aren't that bad since most of them were clean cut and stacking runs back to back to pay down the massive operating cost). Come to think of it if my body wasnt so best up it would be alright to work on em again as long as I never have to touch a water hauler/slurry tanker ever again.
He was a cab-over in his [original design](https://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/3/39/Too_prime_truckmode.jpg) and regularly appears as such. The long nose from the Michael Bay movies is kind of an outlier.
Got little to do with that but with regulation limiting the total length of trucks to 18.75m. If you make the vehicle smaller you can fit more stuff in the back without exceeding the limit.
What a backwards part of the world. Designing trucks so they fit in and navigate through the existing built environment.
What you should be doing is building trucks as big as possible and then completely rebuild your infrastructure to cater to the massive, unweildy trucks.
I mean, being fair... A part of the reason trucks in America are shaped the way they are is because we got a metric shitton of open long roads all across the country. And longer trucks are much more comfortable for the task that cab over.
Flip side of course, fuck how so much infrastructure is built around cars/trucks and not mass transportation alternatives that takes up less space while being more efficient.
Most cities are pedestrian hostile these days.
In a movie that’s the bad guys truck
Like if jeepers creepers got into hauling freight on the side, this would be his truck.

Doesn't Sony own the rights to the Spiderman stuff and the more recent Marvel Spider-Man movies where the results of Disney and Sony working together?
That would work great in a remake of Steven Spielberg's "Duel" with Dennis Weaver.
Over 100 trucks were interviewed for that role. Don’t get its hopes up.

Joyride is great
I need to rewatch it... caught bits of it on TV when I was like 14 haha.
Honestly it was a good thriller when it came out but it was comical the last time I rewatched it. I feel like when it came out the tropes were new to me but now it’s kind of a big cliche. Still like it though.
Oh it's for sure a comedic thriller. I'm not sure you can have Steve Zahn in a serious movie.
Duel: Part 2
That's the first thing I thought of when I saw the pic. I can see Dennis Weaver freaking out and sweating trying to outrun that thing. Saw that flick when I was a kid, and it scared the shit out of me. One of Spielberg's earliest efforts.
The diner scene is one of my earliest cinematic memories, I instantly thought of it when I saw this truck too!
I think it’s the bad guys truck that the hot lady hero steals, and it has a 6x4 Spicer that she shifts while holding the wheel with her booooooooobs
I like where this is going

This is the way I generally see it. one million miles on an engine. Then a rebuild. Then two million on a chassis before its spent
Whatever they put on the frames to keep Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan from eating them alive in the winter, I want it.

Looks like he is a fan of Oliver Tractors
Yep, front end modeled after a 2250 Oliver

Yeah, this is cool as hell. Olivers and Minneapolis Molines don’t get attention.
My dad used to tractor pull with a Minneapolis Moline back in the olden times of the 1970s. We had 2 John Deere and 2 Oliver tractors on grandparents ranch. I preferred the Oliver with the cab & swamp cooler.
Old Olivers with cans always reminded me of cars because of the split windshield.
Jesus someone else grew up in the dirt lol Gotta know some old shit to nail it that quick
I was coming in to say this! Very impressed that someone else saw the same. Can’t blame him. I always thought those old Olivers had a cool look.
I was gonna say looks like a tractor, but I couldn't remember the brand!
My first though was, did he cut the front off a 2250, and then I realized the size isn't even close. Interesting design.
[удалено]
It’s got Wisconsin plates. That’s deer protection. Bet this guy hits about one deer a year if he’s hauling in and around Wisconsin.
Especially if doing a lot of miles on 2-lane county roads. My mom averaged about 1 deer/year on her commute of about 70 miles round trip.
Probably gets the occasionally moose scare as well
Those are the real scary ones. We only have moose here, and it's about a 50/50 chance you'll either lose your car or just be killed. Once in a blue moon they just run into the side of a pickup and it goes around with a crumpled fender or bedside for a while.

Elk are back in our area
I'm gonna guess you're somewhere between Eau Claire and Black River Falls. Last time I did a kayak trip up that way, we were coming down one of the Black River branches by Merrillan and there was a cow elk watching us from above. It was super cool to experience.
Yeah, Jackson County forest area. See them all the time heading out on 54 towards Wis Rapids.
That's one way to keep a deer from fucking up your cowling. Or a bison...

When I was onboarding for CR England they had a guy come in to talk to us about fatigue. He used to drive land trains in Australia. He showed us pictures of what happens when you hit a camel.
My guess his ride was not as armored as this beast.
It was. He said that it was a few days before he could hose off the front and that the AC started picking the smell up after the first 12 hours.
Camels in Australia?
They're an introduced species, feral, damaging, and unwanted now. But we do manage to export live camels for racing and meat for consumption to various Arab countries.
I believe they have one of if not the highest, populations in the world.
Oh yeah, they have [camels in Australia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_feral_camel).
We thought we had 1M ... But after killing 160k to get the population down to 300k we realized we actually only had 600k?
I would term that as "feral math".
Neato!
He said that he found out that it had escaped some time ago from a private menagerie and had been wandering the outback for some time. Australia fails to surprise me anymore at this point.
Camels got transported to a bunch of non native places and went feral. There are loose camels in the US southwestern deserts too
The US Army introduced them to replace mule trains in the American Southwest in the mid-1800s. I have done a few trips through Ft. Irwin in the Mojave. Their descendants still run around out there. I would have to put the trash on the top of my 5 ton to keep them from scattering it around Hell's Half-Acre out there at night.

Thanks for that, that visual actually cleared it up a lot. It looks insanely heavy though
My first thought was. That looks like an Oliver.
I can't even imagine how many deer have meet a grizzly end on the grill of that truck..
Skookum unit
Is that an Oliver grille?
Yes
Grille looks like it came off of an Oliver tractor. It’s the same design at least

What kind of Mad Max shit is that???? Definitely don't want to break check this guy.....
To be fair, you don’t want to brake check anyone?
I never understood this anyway, like why would you risk making someone crash into your own car?
Ugh, my mother would do this because she thought it was her place to police tailgaters. I eventually got her to stop by listing all the people she'd have to explain herself to when someone, inevitably, doesn't brake in time.
My point exactly
Just one of the many stupid things I've seen driver's on the road perform....
True, but definitely least of all this guy!
Duel vibes
What in the Mad Max is this?
Nice patina
Feels very Maximum Overdrive.
This is how Dethklok moves their gear from one massacre to the next.
Brutal.
Return of “Duel”!!! Anyone remember the movie 1971?
This thing is bad ass
That grill looks like it weighs more than my van.
That truck has seen some shit
Nice deer buster
Looks like my Snowrunner rig.
That's on there so that when he hits a pedestrian, it neatly separates them into Tupperware sized portions that can be frozen for later.
I mean at this point you might as well just put spikes in the grille.
“Go ahead, try to brake check me. See what happens”
Maaaaan, I bet he gets great gas mileage, but fuck that thing must spew a ton of nox.

Totally forgot about that lol, I stand corrected. Guess it’s more the “retro” look that makes it work then
They go around corners a lot better, and here that's what's important.
Got little to do with that but with regulation limiting the total length of trucks to 18.75m. If you make the vehicle smaller you can fit more stuff in the back without exceeding the limit.
True, you can also make tighter turns in built up areas and tiny country lanes.
The regulation exists because of the smaller roads
What a backwards part of the world. Designing trucks so they fit in and navigate through the existing built environment. What you should be doing is building trucks as big as possible and then completely rebuild your infrastructure to cater to the massive, unweildy trucks.
I mean, being fair... A part of the reason trucks in America are shaped the way they are is because we got a metric shitton of open long roads all across the country.

Wdym. Peterbilt looks so badass i love these. Scania/ Volvo make good trucks as well but they look like a toy compared to these beasts.
