The "low oil pressure" warning was probably because your oil temps were far too high for just 5w30 to handle. Next time maybe try 15w50 racing oil or at LEAST 10w40. Keeps its viscosity at really high temps, like on a turbo car when you're cruising at 130+!!

If you are driving a lot faster than traffic people see you but misjudge how fast you're coming up on them. This is one of the main reasons speeding causes accidents. On the Autobahn people are used to it, so its less dangerous. With trucks the blind spot is mostly on the right side.

Back in the late 00's my friend had one and we used to go park in turn outs or in driveways on the back roads at night with those unmistakable running lights and then when people drove by we would pull out and follow them for a while. My favorite time was when we saw a friend of ours on a busy road and we hit a U-turn so fast that it made a very audible skidding sound and then the poor guy went hard on the brakes lmao. We followed him all the way home. He wasn't even mad, just relieved because he was so stoned

Congratulations. But a fun little factoid, the Cannonballs that were run in the 70’s had less traffic but there were less interstate highways to run on which makes a big difference.

@chuckschillingvideos 15 дней назад

That's certainly a mixed blessing. Interstates have higher average speeds but massively more saturated law enforcement presence and nowhere to go should the flashing light come on behind you. Two lane highways commonly have intersections seemingly every mile.

@jormungandr9840 12 дней назад

So fun fact the SHO and the Truck motor are two different engines. They really just share the same displacement. An example SHO's are not TiVCT only the trucks. Don't get me wrong I have a 13 SHO performance package and an 11 F150 with the 3.5L. Both are beasts in their own way.

That's usually a sign of cam bearings going out when a car will only lose pressure or have the low oil pressure light come on while idling at stoplights stop signs etc. something to do with the engines lower Rpms not being capable of maintaining the needed oil pressure with the out of tolerance cam bearing clearances or wear

@gtjack9 11 дней назад

I have an idea for how to make a cannonball record. Use a Class C or Class A RV with extra extra gas. Mod it to have dual controls, like some people do for post office Jeeps. They say that it's the stops that mess with your time. So, if you don't need a fuel stop, and if you have beds and a bathroom in the vehicle, and if you have dual controls to let drivers swap off without even a second of having no one behind the wheel, it seems like you wouldn't need to stop at all, so you should be able to get a great run.

I like your thinking but I have a “high” powered motorhome for pulling my race trailer and I don’t think that any motorhome would sit at 100+mph for that long

@ItzzzBeamo 13 дней назад

If ya got an idea like that, I’d say instead of throwing it out to the internet, find some madlads who want to go in on that with you! Chase that record! Maybe go for an LS swapped winnebago or something 😂

@patrickdahm6822 12 дней назад

@@JordanVeinotte11I’d imagine you could get away with a much safer and manageable speed for an RV like 80-85 if you forgo any stopping

@CaptainSeamus 12 дней назад

You mean like my 1978 Minnie Winnie (Dodge CB300) with a built 440... we cruise from Kansas to NM to see family, 80 mph, even pulling the grades on I40. Handles like any other dually pickup (van nose) - at 75-80 mph we averaged over 10mpg... and that's loaded with several people and all their luggage - to set it up for a speed run - bolt in a couple hundred gallons of tanks and hit full send... it will definitely do over 100...

@JordanVeinotte11 12 дней назад

@@patrickdahm6822 if you run at 80 nonstop that’s like a 36 hour run I think is you got to be up over a 100 average so there’s times when you will have to run along at 110-120 for hours I just think it’s asking a lot of a motor to go that pulling that kind of weight

@heinzketchup4558 15 дней назад

question from someone only mildly educated on the whole cannonball run thing: Wouldn´t a Diesel make way more sense since they easily use around a third less fuel compared to gasoline cars? And also, wouldn´t a smaller sized engine, like let´s say a 2L oder 3L as opposed to a V8 also be way better? German Diesels still easily go 250 and upwards while having a still extremely good MPG compared to gas ones. for example, a BMW 430d will have around 38 MPG while still able to easily cruise at 280

@Swiggityswagger 15 дней назад

Diesels do not have good fuel economy cruising at these speeds. Engine load is too high. For the really elite runs the fuel stops don't really matter anyway. The top guys have someone with a fuel trailer and a high flow pump meet them somewhere and are stopped less than 5 minutes.

@heinzketchup4558 15 дней назад

@@Swiggityswagger have you driven any modern diesel at those speeds? I drove with a friends 430d, it cruises at 200 km/h with below 10l/100km Thanks to the ZF 8 speed automatic, the rpm isn’t that high actually. (Guess i should mention that i‘m german and thus this is pretty normal.)

@averyw.3939 14 дней назад

You would also have the advantage of being able to use the truck pumps to fill a custom fuel cell much faster. I'm not planning on doing a cannonball run but if I were it would be in a BMW diesel, or maybe even diesel swap a Ford Explorer and dress it up to look cop-ish.

Cruise set at 130mph for two hours...*Whew! Question: Is it legal to display red/blue lights *if you don't use them?*

@somenygaard 15 дней назад

Retired police officer here and I can say that in the two states where I worked that just having the lights isn’t illegal. Alabama criminal code: “A person commits the crime of impersonating a peace officer if he falsely pretends to be a peace officer and does any act in that capacity.”

@LouisSubearth 15 дней назад

As long as you don't drive with them on in public roads it should be fine. Private roads or parked and lit up for display is fine.

One of the greatest untapped resources for Cannonball is a guy named Jon Rock - he also happens to be the author of Death by Socialism. Rock posted a non-stop (stopping only for gas) 40-hour solo cross-country run back in 2015. I’d love to see him on one of these teams.

@Simoxs7 2 дня назад

Doing that 32 hours is crazy, but as a German its sometimes a bit funny when they describe having the cruise control at 130+ for 2 hours… like I‘ve done that multiple times but then again the german version of many cars is usually a bit different so it can better sustain high speed for a long amount of time.

@philipegoulet448 Час назад

The difference is not in the cars, it's in the traffic, driving culture and legal repercusions if you get caught. People do not look in their mirrors for cars coming at 100mph, they travel in the left lane, they don't use flashers, they don't understand what flashing lights in their mirror means and the police will absolutely throw you in jail if they catch you. A very different experience i'm sure!

I have a 2013 Chevy Impala 9c1 white in color. Before I changed the wheels and took the pit bar off the front I could go anywhere and most cops actually waved to me as I blew past them stopped in the middle or on the right while on the freeway doing around 85-90. Its a strange thing.
