Big Blower

just put this bastard on a truck today. 8,000 CFM

about 3000lbs


the broken one.. customer didnt clean the filters so the blower got clogged up and eventually got enough crud on the rotors that it locked and tore one of the ears off it.


about a 35,000 dollar mistake for the customer.. all to replace about $800bucks in filters..

maintenance maintenance maintenance

we got a f750 with a C7 Cat in it, in our shop right now that they decided that
air filter changes where optional. Well needless to say the filter got so clogged the turbo sucked it in and spit it out while sand blasting the intake track and engine. Thats a 12,000 dollar mistake for an in frame rebuild.
All for an airfilter....
