I'm curious though, if he fried his clutch, or broke his gearbox. And if the engine didn't overheat. These revs were quite high, so even if this would actually be my first immediate course of action, I'm not convinced it would be harmless to the hardware. Or me, sitting so close to the runaway engine and that gearbox. ;) It'd be nice to see a "post action" video with a list of consequences. At this moment all we get to see is "it stopped the engine". Did it break it though?

This car was modded for performance, it almost certainly has a VERY heavy duty clutch capable of surviving such stress and the same is probably true of a gear box. Most stock cars just disintergrate their clutch if you try this. He might just have saved his engine though.

Good job on the shutdown! Runaways are no joke. For all the commenters in this section tell us about your own personal real time account of an actual runaway. Mine was with an Autocar single axle switching truck with a cummins 5.9 VE pump. Beginning of the shift boss gave me a new turbo and said throw this on that there truck. Didn't tell me any details. I swapped it out and found out why because the old center bearing was toast. I started to pull the intercooler to have it flushed. Boss said no! We need this truck now! Um ok here you go...but.... "No Butts"! Ok. So I let it idle for 45 min during lunch and cleaning up. I'm thinking ok sounds good but... Let's take it for a ride. Go around the corner of the building onto the wide alley way, I'm thinking man this thing is running strong. Then it lit. I'm talking 5 grand revs, I'm on the brakes with 2 feet, ignition off...I said Damn this thing is running off engine oil! White and grey smoke shooting out! On the brakes and drive tires start to spinning. Was a hell of a burnout! Throw the Allison trans lever into neutral, but no...cable is jammed or something... this thing is in gear and won't come out and it ain't shutting down! I'm in full panic thinking where I'm gonna find a new job. I'm holding on with 2 feet on the brakes still, tires just a smokin'....what can I do? I'm thinking ok ride it out, aim it at the fence into the woods at the end of the drive. Jump out just before impact. Here we go. I'm scared AF. Then suddenly about 3/4 down the road she starts to come down...Finally! She burned off that engine oil pooled up in the intercooler and shut down on its own. Just before letting that big truck go off into the woods. I climb down, didn't even look back. Walked back to the shop shaking my head. I get there and the boss and everyone standing there. Then they all bust out laughing. I said what's so funny? I'm going home.

I've the same truck, but with the 3.54 rear. About the same shape too LOL Just can not kill them. Ran away on ya and STILL came back for more. Awesome man! :)

Lol that's indeed a way to do it, but to be a little more informative, as we don't usually have such a charge at hands. The best to calm down a runaway engine is to trow a towel on the air intake. Or try anything you can to block the air intake actually ... Anything you can do to block the air intake, even if it breaks it, it will always be less expensive than having to replace the all thing.

Good job to that man getting it into high gear to stall the engine!

@David Terrell... Ive had 2 6.9's and several 7.3idi engines with turbos, just because it didnt come factory with a turbo doesnt mean you cant put one on it. 7.3 idi's came factory with turbos as early as 93.5, and did so up until the first Powerstroke engine came out the next year

@TimpBizkit if your talking about the second truck look at all 6.9s that have to fuel pump turned up. they all chug grey smoke

The little Ford that could!

i wonder what let loose. is it a completely stock idi?

You can have a turbo on an IDI. IDI just denotes where the injection occurs, nothing more. In fact IDIs can have a scary amount of boost (for their configuration/time, even without major work) before popping off head gaskets because of the pre-chamber there lowering pressures.

that Chevy didn't get very far in the beginning lmao

that turbo fart from that white duramax sounded sick as fuck

Was it running away while it was pulling at 1:04, or was it when he was done then it started to run away and stalling?

At least he got it stopped at the end before it completely disintegrated the engine.

MrTpengineer... Since the ignition shuts off the injection pump, wouldnt shutting off the ignition cut the engine off, stopping the flow of fuel to the injectors? If this is the case then i wouldnt call a situation like that a runaway.

Hi I have a slight oil leak on my 7.3 idi and everytime I check the dipstick it's far above the actual area where it reads the oil and I'm worried I don't have enough oil in it and I just can't tell. Help please

Cutting off the fuel to a runaway diesel engine won't help you, because the engine is running off its own oil. The only way to stop it is either block the air intakes sufficiently so the combustion stops or put it in gear and dump the clutch while holding the brakes, so the engine stalls. Otherwise a runaway diesel will go crazily past its maximum rpm and destroy itself.

god i love that turbo

and thats some grandaddy ford diesel power

at least this guy knew how to stop a runaway diesel. 5th gear, brakes on, dump the clutch and hold it holds.

Loved the duramax

The89Stroker... I hope your user name isnt trying to imply that you have an 89 Powerstroke haha. Anyway, since the injection pumps on these navistar idi engines wouldnt turning the key off automatically shut the fuel off at the pump even if something inside the pump DID malfunction. Im assuming this truck had a turbo that had faulty seals, but im curious about what would go wrong to cause a pump to cause a runaway

the cdr said NO!! and the pump said TAKE IT YOU!!!!! and she took it lol gotta love it

The title could mean it's a hybrid motor. 6.9 block and whatnot, and 7.3 heads? Just a thought. Love the sound of that motor.

that hot oil getting in the cumbustion added alot of power lol

completely forgot about the add-on turbos....good point!

looked like his boost finaly built up. diesel is beast. I can't believe he got it killed without spitting driveshafts etc.

Yep.. miss my 86!

@fordguy100. I currently have the 7.3 powerstroke and their proven the best engine ever made. Now the idi's are just a strip down model of the powerstroke. I know several guys who have an idi and they love them.

It only outpulled when it let go because when it let goes, the motor goes into full rpms and maxes out boost etc that you wouldnt previously be able to get, or want to get, as it would make the engine explode.

***** ats turbo kits for the 6.9 is cheap

yes true runaway is when its running on its own oil. your valve guide is a good example. but its easy enough to do with mechanical fuel fuel injection. Diesels have been running away long before turbos were around. You can lose an oil passage into the head at the HG just like you do with coolant sure coolant is much more common, but its not just coolant that runs through there.

Rip never forget.

Most likely, the turbo blew an internal seal allowing hot engine oil into the induction system. Turning off the ignition is useless since the oil pump is mechanically driven and the the engine oil is used as fuel until the oil is consumed. By this time, the engine would be toast due to overreving. Stalling the engine either by dumping the clutch or starving the turbo for air is the only hope of saving it.

Lol, people were laughing at first when he couldn't get going but then where cheering like hell at the end. Fun pull to watch, track looks a little TOO wet though.

Finally, someone who knew how to kill it the right way.

he just pop it in first and then hold brake?

blow head gasket will only run coolant into the cylinders...a bad pump ! ...you can cut fuel to it! ..the only other way is if a intake valve guide failed ...that would allow the engine to suck oil from the valve train into the ports and cylinders.. do you know what a true runaway is and how it is caused?

How did he stop it?

also cutting the fuel can be a bad thing as if the liners are worn , it will suck the crankcase oil up and run off , I had one( v6-92) peg out the tach at 4500 right before it came apart , a nice $5000 mistake on the owners part for letting it idle all night while it was cold they rapped the throttle it started to run away , hit the shutter and sucked the oil out and ventilated the block .

u have nothing to worry about if all long as u make shure ur cdr is clean u be good

at least he knew how to stop it, i seen people just let that shit go until they throw a rod.

Houston, we gonna need a new engine here.

or they added a turbo?

trucks used in mines have a emergency throttle plate to shut the air in case of runaway.

Sure it does... With an electronic locking TC, you tap the lockup circuit and switch it to ground. Problem comes when the trans keeps downshifting you can't hold it back... the lock up mod is great for racing however. get her rollin and lock it up and hold on.

That won't even kill a run away diesel, you'll explode the clutch! You simply have to open the hood, rip your shirt off and stuff it into the intake. No air, no fire.

The only way to stop a runaway diesel is by choking the intake, cutting the fuel is irrelevant because the engine has begun running on its own engine oil, whether from blowby, oil seal on the turbo or leaking from the guides/HG.. the question is, do you know what a real runaway is?

at least he knew how to stop it.

Flagman at 1:09 knew exactly what was happening and started running to stop him haha

is that a 6.9?

Thank goodness you had a manual trans ... if it had been a slushbox that would have been the death of that IDI.
