    I agree...Without sound on my computer I have no way of judging how fast it was running...But it might be remembered that two-stroke Detroit Diesels sound like they are running twice as fast as they really are......Ben

    The sound of the air starter is one thing---the sound of that jimmy is another

    He talks about this one running away---but they got it starved for air in time.

    I had one run away from me but before I could pull the emergency stop it ate itself for lunch

    When it happened I was digging a deep bore pit to do a jack and bore under a RR. I was sitting on a shelf about 10' down with a Koehring excavator. That position made the noise even louder---at first I thought a helicopter was landing on my head! We ended up rebuilding that devil down in that hole

    You missed a lot of nice trucks at the Conroe Cruisers show today...Nothing that size though...The closest was a '34 Plymouth one ton dually converted to a Cummins "B" industrial engine......Ben

    Australia is home to some of the world's ugliest trucks...Aussies are always proud to show them off, and justifiably so...Like this Jimmy powered Diamond T......Ben
