I was lucky to have a 2ft, at least, steering wheel for leverage, and air brakes. Still a hugh workout for the biceps.

It was a surprise to me to end up without power in the middle of the road ghosting to a stop from 55.
Quite a shock honestly.
I let my foot off the gas and the engine just quit without warning, as if a switch was flicked.
I slapped it into neutral as mentioned, and tried to turn the wheel and discovered that everything was powered.
*chuckle*
My statement of , "Ummmm... Uh-oh." was an understatement I guess.
Still, 60k pounds?
*shaking head*
I still would not have been able to get it off the road, 2 foot steering wheel or not.
