Prisoner from Lansing, KS escapes in M929.

[Flyingvan911]

(I’m not having luck posting a link from my phone.) An inmate from the prison in Lansing, KS escaped using a M929 5 ton dump truck. The truck has been found at 92 and Parallel in Kansas City, KS. Not sure what the guy did but I hope he gets caught. The news and half the people commenting on Facebook are calling it a deuce and a half. I politely offered the proper model.

Classy.

This google map link shows 5-tons and other heavy equipment inside the wire. Isn't that brilliant?!

Are prison system is a joke to begin with.

They probably have the keys in a lock box.

Military trucks don't have keys unless modified. Even if the steering wheel is locked with a chain, if a truck was pointed towards the fence, an inmate could have started the truck and crashed through the fence. Very stupid to have any heavy equipment located inside the fence where inmates have access. Someone at the prison should be polishing up their resume.

 

[74M35A2]

Oh, OK. Thanks, I didn't know that.

Maybe you should read this before they lock you up again.

Nah it's government they will get a promotion.

OK, I just did. I can't find the ignition key anywhere in that book either.

How did you get your screen name changed? Or did you steal somebody else's photo, which looks familiar.

Pretty sure Dave has had that avatar and user name since getting on this site.

 

[Flyingvan911]

Yep. That was at a fundraiser we did for a girl’s softball team. We had time so the girls washed the deuce a little.

Apology, I thought that pic was associated with another member's name. My memory is terrible though. I'd be further ahead if I just kept my mouth shut.

His name was Green so he must have just had an iron addiction.

Do you remember that you have a 5t that has another power plant waiting to go in it? Sorry, couldn't resist! Nah, not sorry

I got a call yesterday from Profo about repowering his 927 after the Palm Springs trip since that 8.3 was dogging on some hills bad. It needs a few more motivational parts added. He asked about an ISL and double OD Allison swap that is on Govplanet. I said well if Clint had his done you would know what to do but since that isn't going to happen maybe Profo will get it done first.

In the MH, the double OD auto would be sweet behind the L.

The double OD with the OD T1138. It wouldnt have any guts. It's like 900rpms at 69mph in 6th gear. It would be in direct 4th or the first OD in 5th
