Subject:		My '92 "Power Ram" Earns its Name

Message:		Last Monday, I had my local repair shop install a new power steering hose om my '92 W250 [5.9L with 5 speed manual OD tranny]. The truck was on the drive-on ramp, which was lowered to the shop floor after the hose was installed. The mechanic reached his arm into the driver's window to start the truck up and forgot that the truck was in 1st gear. The safety switch did not kill the ignition so the truck fired up at high choke idle and jumped forward, knocking the mechanic down and then proceeded to jump the front tires over the wheel chock plates welded to the ends of the ramp. The truck travelled another dozen feet or so and slammed into the vertical support beam of the lift in the next bay . The bumper/brackets, core support, radiator, A/C condensor and driver's door were all damaged pretty good. While the truck was against the support beam, the rear tires were still spinning on the ends of the ramp it started from [....wonder what would've happened if it was in 4wd . The shop is in the process of getting it to a local body shop to begin the repairs.... luckily.... the mechanic who was working on it when it took off wasn't hurt. There's a lot of body and mechanical work ahead. This truck just turned 40K.... bummer John
