I was making fun of the question. Apparently my joke wasn't funny. The question of what will emit more an existing vehicle or making a whole new vehicle isn't really the right question.
With our military trucks, the same vehicle purchased by civilians, go to auction when repairs exceed a percentage of the original price. So you could have a truck with a new engine that now needs a tail light, and won't get repaired. Engine oil change cycles was based on mileage, not engine run time. Our flight line trucks ran 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and rarely exceeded 15 mph. By the time we hit the 3000 mile oil change, the oil was like molasses.
Robert Heinkel I work for the GA Agri Expo authority and we drive the wheels off of our vehicles. But my security pickup is just like you said with oil changes, by mileage not run time. And being a early model F150 it has problems lubricating the cam/valves especially since half the time it’s running its idle, and the thick oil doesn’t help that problem
Sure... But you need to get it out of there first and tow the two parts to somewhere someone can do that and that wont be cheap. Its probably cheaper to buy a whole one with a bad engine or something and use the cut ones for parts
@jason9022 They probably say that cuz they want you to buy a new frame or covering them selfs if your weld sux and the truck folds in two at 70mph killing a family of 6 or something
All they are doing is fudging the market and making it harder on people. Those cash for clunkers car have a market from build/first owner all the way up to the last owner and scrap yard. Throw in a monkey wrench like cash for clunkers and you are altering the transportation industry.
We still have something like this in the UK. Its called the "Scrappage scheme". "Let’s destroy completely usable, affordable vehicles that don’t meet our standards. "
Cash for clunkers killed the used car market still to this day because a lot of first time car buyers or people with low income or a young driver just got his or her drivers license have less inventory to choose from new teenage drivers don’t need a chevy Camaro,Ford Mustang,Dodge challenger/charger or any type of fast speed car a used Ford Crown Victoria or Chevy Caprice or Honda Civic/Accord or other vehicles like these will do just fine.

Back in the 80's I knew somebody that owned an old state highway crew cab PU truck. It was slow. The gearing was meant for towing equipment not for speed. It was getting below 10 MPG. It was loud inside.

@eat me nobody breeds trucks. They manufacture them. Big difference. And any emissions advantage of destroying an old diesel are quickly exceeded by the environmental impact of manufacturing the new diesel that will take it's place.
such a shame to cut up good trucks for emissions credits, the manufacturing process of the new trucks has to produce as much emissions. as those trucks would have produced for the rest of there life
@@danh2134 you mean you somehow missed the obvious torch cut? even in a high salt abusive enviroment those frames are a 30 year expected "minimum" lifespan chunk of steel that come fully anti rust coated, they wouldn't pass DOT standards for road use otherwise.
I worked on a fishing trawler in the UK which was decommissioned. The huge trawler was lifted out the water and a government minister, complete with suit, hard hat and clip board was ticking off each part is it was destroyed on the fishing trawler. Only a few select items could be sold on - the prop shaft (without propeller), a radar unit on top of the cabin and the glass from the cabin. Everything else had to be destroyed by the waiting breakers. It was madness.
"missing axle" is probable an axle that they broke and is not worth replacing due to the value of the truck. but it could be a cheap easy fix for someone
I worked for the thruway authority at the exit 22 yard where the auctions for all thruway equip was sold,you had to make it sound like it didn't run or missing parts,or non runner just to cover your ass in case it broke on the way home,and this made buyers tow it away most of the time.
Your so right about the government when it cones to grants & destroying perfect equipment, I saw a video recently which is the same with school buses. These trucks not in bad shape at all. Thank you for sharing!
The first two numbers on the plate are the year of the vehicle so those trucks that were cut in half were 04's and 05's not that I'm justifying cutting up perfectly good trucks. They don't just cut them in half either they are required to cut a hole in the engine block so that non emissions engine can never harm the environment again....... cash for clunkers of big rigs
WOW! How stupid to cut up perfectly fine International DOT truck's just because of emissions?! Definitely a small town or a business could definitely use those 10 year old truck's! Again how stupid of the government! But no one ever said that the government was smart!
Republicans plans to sell new trucks by cutting up perfectly good used trucks and the new trucks will face the same fate when they don't meet "emissions" standards but hey ... Global warming is not a real thing ? Right ? So why ?
@@fluke196c Just look up DOT roadside inspection. I drive rolloff trucks for my friends business when I'm not busy, and I've been pulled over, and ticketed before. And they seriously scour every inch of the vehicle, they'll even crawl under it and inspect brake lines, tires, everything.
Out here in Utah state, county, city run fairly modern equipment and sell them as is and use the money to fund new equipment. Good deal for government and buyer. They sell all types of vehicles from cars on up
There are still plenty of other NYSDOT trucks that are older than some of the ones seen in this video that were 2004's. I've seen some that are 1998 IH 4900's around here.
As someone that works for the government. Our trucks get old before they break down. We have big rigs with less miles that my cars. We have a couple big rig 18 wheelers that are 10+ years old and only have 11,xxx miles on them....
Actually the truck is a 2004 model. The state dot who my father worked for the first 2 digits are the yr that the truck was used so it’s a 2004 freight liner not a 2008. If it was it Would be 08 with the rest of the numbers. That’s how the state marks some of the vehicles.
I can't believe they are forced to cut them I work for DOT here in New Brunswick Canada and they don't do that I ran a 99 s series with a 350 Cummins and a 8LL transmission till this January the truck worked great but the frame cracked and it is being parted out but most retired trucks go to auction hole.
At least one of the "single" axle trucks was actually a "tandem". They took one axle out and left one so they could move it. You could see the mounting points on the frame for the front axle.
.... The trucks that are cut up received a $10,000 credit from the Feds for each truck that was cut in half. Much less than what they would get in the auction. The "Defects" that are listed so they do have a reason to sell them off. In some cases there is actually nothing wrong with the trucks, Just age and/or mileage. The last Mack in your video was actually a 10 wheel 5th wheel Low Boy tractor with a modified sander body resting on the 5th wheel.
I don't understand the reason for cutting the frames but as I know a mechanic from one of the main barns that hold the auctions I am going to ask him. I know the first one shown cut was a '04. The salt truck was a '07. The first 2 numbers on the door is the year of the truck. I know for fact as my Dad ran a '64 Galion grader for NYSDOT.
As an ex government employee you would be amazed at what they made me bury. Plows, dump beds, wood chippers, ovens, pallets of 3/4" socket kits, engines, all buried in LNP...
Really sad, saw some of these at a local Dot auction and they are un-fixable. Not only do they cut the frames, but they are un-repairable titles AND they use an air hammer to put holes in the engine and transmission
I worked for NYS for 3 years I never heard of that or seen that trucks were sold as is all they did was spray paint over the stickers and numbers And all large dump trucks (Mack and international) from the year 13 and up are automatics the 13s have a clutch and push pads the rest are fully automatic
How sick-so many destitute countries was be thrilled to have those trucks.So sick- school furniture,old fire engines,ambulances could be given to less fortunate countries.
UNCLEDOUG HERE BACK IN 1996 I BOUGHT 3 4 WHEEL DRIVE IH'S FROM THE ASHEVILLE N.C. AIRPORT AND ME AND MY FRIENDS USED THEM TO PUSH SNOW IN BOONE N.C. FOR YEARS WE ALL DID WELL FOR 18 YEARS !!! BUT THE GOV JUST HAS TO SCREW UP A GOOD BUY AND CUT UP GOOD TRUCKS !!!
is there any reason why they are squatting? are they broken? Is there some kind of airbag suspension. If someone could further explain, I would greatly appreciate it.
As I don't know how to edit here goes, the trucks were cut to be able to get federal government money. As of 11/20/18 they are still in the same spot as the video shows. Good chance they were decommissioned as they hit 'end of life expediency'.
The handout culture is huge on all levels of government. Exercise your “need” by finding a way to spend *all* the money you’re given, even if you have to waste it, and your physical assets. Otherwise you won’t get as much the next time the budgets are dolled out.

The salt truck was a '07. The first 2 numbers on the door is the year of the truck. I know for fact as my Dad ran a '64 Galion grader for NYSDOT.
As an ex government employee you would be amazed at what they made me bury. Plows, dump beds, wood chippers, ovens, pallets of 3/4" socket kits, engines, all buried in LNP...
Really sad, saw some of these at a local Dot auction and they are un-fixable. Not only do they cut the frames, but they are un-repairable titles AND they use an air hammer to put holes in the engine and transmission
I worked for NYS for 3 years I never heard of that or seen that trucks were sold as is all they did was spray paint over the stickers and numbers And all large dump trucks (Mack and international) from the year 13 and up are automatics the 13s have a clutch and push pads the rest are fully automatic
How sick-so many destitute countries was be thrilled to have those trucks.So sick- school furniture,old fire engines,ambulances could be given to less fortunate countries.
Robert Walton fuck that lol
Cut frame, weld back together. I would buy any one of the international crew cabs
I agree. Ain't nothing that some frame channel and a few fish plates and a buttload of welding rod and a few handfuls of grade 10 bolts cant fix
@@klosnoski too bad they can't be used commercialy anymore tons of business would be over these
Yeah have government sales sometimes pick up good vehicles
Yeah international still have a manual transmission
By chance did you know how much that payloader at the end cost?
UNCLEDOUG HERE BACK IN 1996 I BOUGHT 3 4 WHEEL DRIVE IH'S FROM THE ASHEVILLE N.C. AIRPORT AND ME AND MY FRIENDS USED THEM TO PUSH SNOW IN BOONE N.C. FOR YEARS WE ALL DID WELL FOR 18 YEARS !!! BUT THE GOV JUST HAS TO SCREW UP A GOOD BUY AND CUT UP GOOD TRUCKS !!!
What makes no sense they'd rather cut up the cleaner 2008 Internationals then to cut the old rusted 2000 4700 Internationals
is there any reason why they are squatting? are they broken? Is there some kind of airbag suspension. If someone could further explain, I would greatly appreciate it.
The frame was cut in half behind the frame to render the truck unusable.
Runs great the truck lowrider edition
Your saying the Government cut the frames in half because they didn't meet emissions standard ??
Would anyone advise not driving one of those crew cab flat beds as a daily? Cuz I want one.
Hell yeah
What the hell did they cut the frames on those trucks?
That truck is missing a Axel. You could see the hanger.
Looks like all the trucks in the first minute had destroyed frames ?
What year are those trucks - that's insane
The axle slides out from the hub. The banjo stays where it is.
As I don't know how to edit here goes, the trucks were cut to be able to get federal government money.
As of 11/20/18 they are still in the same spot as the video shows. Good chance they were decommissioned as they hit 'end of life expediency'.
The frame rails are simple C channel. Buy it and install new C Channel frame rails
Be interesting to see what Diesel Brother's would do to some of them rigs
my question is do they have titles, I think not. double frame them, semi tractors cut frame off and double frame so can be fixed.
They probably could be fixed. They are making that truck as unattractive as possible to fix if someone did manage to get it out of the scrap yard.
where in ny was this?
The handout culture is huge on all levels of government. Exercise your “need” by finding a way to spend *all* the money you’re given, even if you have to waste it, and your physical assets. Otherwise you won’t get as much the next time the budgets are dolled out.
why are some of those trucks cut in half
Pennsylvania does this too
why does it look like the frame is broke on those first one you looked at?
They were cut in half intentionally.
It’s sad cause I would love to have these trucks and I like the 94
Bullshit emission credits
You know your trucks lol
I've never seen a granite with that access panel on the hood, what is it for?
It's used for quick access to check fluids when all the hood can't easily be opened because of the plow blades.
@@Dailydieseldose315 I gotcha. Not alot of front mounted emplements in the south I guess!
Why do they break the middle of the trucks? Seriously? They're in perfect condition! I betcha all of these will eventually end up on Copart some day.
