Check Engine is a channel for car enthusiasts from car enthusiasts. Car reviews, POV videos of driving, measurements of acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h, measurements of the maximum speed of cars, you will find all this on this channel.
I just learned about this. My friend has a big diesel dually Ram pickup. I shared it with him and he didn't know about diesel runaway either. They should tell you about this when you buy one. I assume his truck has protectiion, it was about a $70k truck, new when he bought it. But i think anyone with a diesel should keep an extinguisher handy and hace a plan to spray it into the intake.
Oil leak at the turbo is the most common cause for this. It's my biggest fear with my Duramax. And it's not common, so I'm not worried about a lot… :-)
1:32 , That cammer is a dumbass fr he had two weeks start breaking and roll his eyes at the oblivious driver making the turn, but no he just had to be the man, him and his ego he just had to swerve
02:05 it sounded like a subaru accelerating and that is insane since that's a old diesel engine and if it's doin the same revs as a modern boxer engine that's really bad.
So sad that we all need dash cams. Even more sad that there are still ignorant stupid dumb people that still try the brake check scam on the trucks that all have dash cams
Fascinating compilation - thank you for putting it together. I just love these old machines with their robust simplicity. The H B Lee Erie lives not far from me, and I see her regularly.
If you can cut the air flow on most run aways they will shut down turning key off and disconnect the battery won't work Diesel have a mind of thier on 😂
Im gonna be real... First one looks more like a distracted truck driver or impared there a few minutes between when rhe vehicle in front of him starts to accelerate that the truck driver doesnt respond nor break... After those few seconds he had to make any other choice rhen he breaks but by then its too late... Pretty common anount of time it would take to look up from a phone
8:15 The text does not make any sense, why would it be harder to access the ignition switch if the engine is running at high RPM? Furthermore, if a runaway occurs (particularly in a diesel engine with a mechanical fuel pump), it doesn't help to turn the ignition off since the engine may run from other "fuel" sources (such as engine oil or coolant) You can even disconnect the battery terminals and the engine would still run in the event of a runaway.
