Great reaction and fast thinking!
A busted turbo is much better than a piston being yeet'd through the neighbours house.

Lol anonymous
Anonymous I've watched this video many times over the past few years and this comment wins😂 "yeeted"
It probarly will still break, im now in school and my teacher had an old ford tractor (6 in line) that also did this. It leaked oil to the cilinder and then in just goes. He stopped air intake so it was alright, but an half year later it still broke
parkerbethke that’s what she said
for the 3 seconds it happened this diesel sounded godlike
my thought as well, "thats really bad but man it does sound bitchin"
It didn't sound like me at all.
@@PutsOnSneakers XD
More like a Demon
I love how the poor girl is concerned about his project even though she doesn't know what happened she is still concerned for him
Yeah she really wants him to succeed. That’s love.
This truck went on to be in fast and furious hobs and Shaw I think
She's a keeper
@@truthsmiles I do not think that this video is able to replicate all the signals that this engine was giving to everyone near him when he was trying to rip itself apart...
Do not say she is no a loving woman and everything but she was most likely scared(rightfully).
Yes ! She is definitely a keeper !
After rebuilding many diesel engines over the years, best thing to have handy to snuff an engine is a wooden clip board... works every time
Wonder how many jackets have been stuffed into intakes. I stopped a runaway Detroit with mine one time.
@@joepenfield Bus Grease Monkey tells a story of when his ran away and he only had a towel which got sucked into the airbox, which chewed it up then spit out the flaming pieces, some of which flew through the open side window of his wife's car.
Can confirm
I prefer rubber boot.
Best thing is an inch thick piece of reinforced rubber!
Ya make the tool! Depending on compressin a hot petrol engine can turbo runaway aswell
Finally a runaway video where the guy actually knows what to do!
@@drivingwheels-kl8jl Yep, never work on diesel w/o a block of wood, just in case!!
@Drakilicious yeah it'll suck your hand in ans chew it and eat it lmao And whatever else that may or may not get ripped ofd you. Lol
Drakilicious Orr you can use a c02 extinguisher lol
it didnt runaway tho, the gas cable just got snatched on 90% open
Carbz,
It’s a diesel, it 100% ran away
In the truck's defense, that did sound amazing.
Jersey Tom indeed it did, it sounds like its on a dyno test xD
It sure did but wonder how knackered she is now
Yeah.. Rip lol
paul chappell in the description he said the compressor wheel on the turbo was the only damage. he did shut it down before It really over-revved :)
lol...i know riight..!
This is honestly the best demonstration of what exactly a runaway is and how to stop it.
And if the air intake isn’t accessible then what?
Except this really wasn't a runaway. And that wasn't the best way to stop it.
@@airsoftdude36fire extinguisher
@@user-cb1ln8vc8dIt was a runaway, just on fuel rather than oil. It's still a runaway.
@@johneckert1365 if i hold my foot down on the pedal or it gets stuck on the floor mat, that's not a runaway.
"Exactly what I didn't want to happen!" Hey, you knew it could occur and acted accordingly. Well done man!

Turbo: suuuuck
Car guy: oh fuck
The poem fit well XD
That's funny 😃❤😂
Greatest rhyme of all time

*O H F U C C*
Vrooom, Succc, car guy go "Fuck"
Now I can honestly say I witnessed a man choke out a diesel truck with has bare hands!
That sounds bad ass
I saw a mechanic at work who have thrown a whole jacket in the intake of a MTU V10 ! (Yes, the one that's in a Leopard tank)
A runaway on such a big engine is scary ! I could feel the power on the ground while the engine was on the testbed.. the whole building was shaking ! normally the engine produce 830bhp but mechanic saw a reading on the testbed (afterward) that the engine peaked at more than 1000bhp (the scale end at 1000bhp)
Best reply in a long time.
Erin the angry,
No you can't honestly say it since he obviously didn't use his bare hands. He stuffed a rag in it. Imagine if he honestly used his bare hands to plug it up with :-O
@@get-the-lead-out.4593 who fucking cares? you reject.
I felt that look of sadness when he felt the turbo wheel
I'm glad I'm not the only one who delays when answering their spouse during a stressful situation
Probably never heard hear say one word.
much better than immediately responding and regretting it lol
Nice save
yeah just destroyed his turbo hahahahaha
And saved the rest of the engine in the process.
BDNeon still wasnt a nice save. Nice would have been if he didnt destroy the turbo by using a kind of plate to stop the airflow or whatever. I'm not saying that what he did was stupid, but it just wasnt a nice save
max compare it to a whole destroyed engine which would be very expensive and hard to find parts for compared to a turbo which can be found anywhere.
max it was the turbo that caused the runaway problem in the firstplace so he never caused any real loss as the turbo was already leaking oil causing the engine to go wild.
When he dove out of frame I thought he was taking cover... Then my man pop's back up and handles it.
thetoecutter13 legit
i was 100% sure he was duck and covering
like a boss
@@snapboy1309 same
Yeah I thought for sure it was a goner lol
1:34 when v-tec finally kicks in
When starting an old 2 stroke detroit, keep a tool box tray around to cover the turbo. Be sure it is big enough to cover the whole turbo. Most of the 453's had blower flaps that you could flip shut with one finger and keep them all.
Blower flaps were a option. Not all engines came with them. I spent part of two years selling Exxon flap kits for their fire pump engines all over the gulf. Take care.
That's why we kept a "panic button" handy...
A piece of plywood with a handle attached to cover the intake .
Learned that one in that Canadian Armed Forces . 😁
Great advice sir.
@eggmanwi usually there's an emerg shut off flap on Detroits , you are supposed to remove the valve cover, move the rack to make sure injectors aren't stuck, and that they return to idle position .. you then test start it with the valve cover off and a vice grip on the rack , throttling from there to make sure everything is loose in the rack.. and she bumps off the governor.. sounded like stuck injectors was all.. as for a real runaway, the engine starts feeding on it's own oil, usually from a cracked piston, as high pressure oil lubes the skirts..makes it into the ports.. then..good luck stopping it, even choking the air wont help, it'll just suck it from the crank case via whatever hole was made in the engine, or past the rings, or whatever.. ..take cover lol..
neat! thank you for protecting our country! thinkin about going down the road of CAF, maybe as a mechanic. hope if i do, that i dont see alot of runaway!
plane gaper doesn’t even have to be a broken piston. Blown seals in the turbo or a messed up crankcase ventilation may do it too
Wise after the fact
Everyone stand in a moment of silence for that mans turbo😢
Brb2jNdett i guess the turbo will be fine when that wasn't a piece of solid metal
quattrobros the compressor wheel got rekt by that rubber piece.
Brb2jNdett The turbo seal leaking oil probably caused the runaway ;-)
The Missing Link's Younger Brother it says in the description that the rack got stuck on a valve cover which basically held it at WFO

Out of all the runaway videos ive seen, this is the first smart guy caught on camera! So many videos you see them cool the runaway engine with fire extinguishers and no one thinks to stuff the intake. Hat's off to you, man!
It makes a lot more sense if you have a fire extinguisher to just fire that right into the intake instead. If it's sucking co2 instead of oxygen it's not firing
@@Twinspinner Exactly. Flood the intake with CO2.
Blocking the airway creates a negative pressure assist. Might be marginally better but CO2 blast is safer imo
CO2 snuffs it out.
They all need oxygen to run.
Block the air intake fine but don't damage the engine in the process.
In other words, think and be prepared.
That was great thinking and reaction. When I was in training on 6-71's (at Fort Eustis VA before a year-long excursion to Vietnam) the instructor told us to always carry a rag and a 1/2" wrench when/if this happens. Good to see how quickly you reacted. Nice!
What's the 1/2 inch wrench for? Unscrewing injectors?
@@mikegauthier3617 it was to remove the air cleaner on the blower (marine engines). Then we were to toss the rag in to stop the blower. I can't imagine standing there doing this with a runaway 6-71! But some guys did. One of our jobs was to take the LCMs and LCUs out of mothball and put into service. They are an amazing feat of engineering and reliability.
I trained at Fort Lee, VA right next door to become a Mechanic for the Army. Did it for 6 years then became an Officer. Thank God I never had this happen to me on the Detroits and Caterpillars 🤣🤣

MrAristes that's how you get divorced at 30
@Patrick Ancona You come across as an absolute douchebag.
This guy has guts. He snuffed it out and could have carved his hand up in the process, but saved his engine. I would have run in the other direction, watched my Pistons launch everywhere and then been very pissed off!
From what I've seen the engine actually blowing like you said seems to be quite a rarity in these situations (with idiots huddling around the car trying to figure out what's wrong).
Fireship1 then good thing this wasn’t you, because you would have wrecked this engine as a result of making a retarded decision to not do something as simple as choking the engine. ALWAYS carry something dense to throw over the intake when working on older diesels like this, not that a newer diesel will NEVER run away on you, but it’s rare.
Fireship1 always have a back up plan .
I kinda just want to watch a run away disel but not own it lol
yeah mack, he's one of the last true american heroes lol

Great quality
That guy has brains. Starve the engine from air. 👍👍👍👍

yard limit yeah okay you probably would have had a blazing fire in front of you if you were that guy.
@@yardlimit8695 at that point wouldn't matter, engine has already taken off and wont shit down....why do you think it's called a runaway diesel
Not gonna lie, when it started to runway it sounded bad fucking ass, imagine hearing that right next to you when the stoplight turns green.
This, ladies and gents, is why people should know how an engine works
indeed, put some co2 in that bitch and itll stop
@@djaydeved I once saw someone use a baking soda extinguisher on an engine. Poor guy
I see people buy these things & when the thing does runaway they just let it go, & don't try to stop it, this is our creation & we can stop it!
This, ladies and gents, is why people should learn to do preventive maintenance on your turbochargers.
if you're concerned about runaway you need a ball valve on the fuel line. best way to stop a diesel is stop the fuel. i pull the fuel line from the tank to stop a motor that just won't quit. have it ready before you start!
Been watching this video periodically for 7+ years. Love the vibe, the music goes with the truck perfectly. Sounds like hand Williams 3
Very quick thinking
Nothing’s more depressing and aggravating when your Detroit takes off and after it finally shuts down someone asks you why it went wrong
always a great thing to hear. Sometime silence is golden
Maybe some people genuinely want to know what happened. Its a common way of learning
Honey are you sure there is gas in it
So, what did go wrong?
@@catlady8324 Since deisels run on compressed air like trains, jets, and cruise ships, they can runaway. So you can't stop them by cutting off the fuel (lubricant) you have to stop the air intake. See jet fuel hoax.
Runaway diesels are fucking scary.
It's like the truck is possessed!!!
yup
When you get this on a diesel speed boat oh shit...
Schulze Designs
AND TRAINS
Oh yes... I was not having this in mind cause i am a boat driver :D
Great reaction time, immediate know how, situational awareness. This is how you keep stuff from getting messed up. Great job brother. 👍
Those pesky 2-strokes will do that. First time it happened to me it scared hell out of me. I learned to always know where the emergency shutoff was and to keep something handy to shut off air. I’m surprised the turbo didn’t eat what this guy used. I east he knew what to do.

He seems to have saved the whole engine in the last seconds.
This guy gets the thug life award for his super human reaction/action.
He knew it was gonna runaway.
My buddy launched my old Pete, said he knew how to adjust the Jake, so when it went, and we had zip to plug off the turbo, it ran at about 20k till we could pop a fuel line, the engine held but I imagine we took 100k off her life🤣🤣🙄

@@tcapfan4190 The engine
Well, youtube put this in my recommended, haven't seen a runaway in a bit but god damn that was the quickest and cleanest reaction, most will be running around the thing looking for the magic red button to stop it, did great mate, hopefully it was just the comp. wheel, no fingers lost, no fires, and no one injured, did great bud.
1:33 i have to admit ive never heard such a good sounding engine, really
dafff08 tbh diesels do sound amazing when they rev fast but tend to runaway due to air intake
@@xandercreates6766 "runaway due to air intake" means nothing tbh, runaway reasons are different and well defined
LinkinPark4Ever1996 I don’t even remember replying to this comment tf
These shouldn't rev high, you never heard that sound while driving.
Furkan Yıldırım_ProPlus Detroit’s will and do rev higher than most diesels we had a 8v92 silver and it was really happy going down the road at 2,100 to 2,300
1:34 that engine sounds wicked at high rpm!! I love it!!
Right
+eggboy1987 yeah but i wouldn't be worried a bout the sound if i was in that situation (well i might)
+eggboy1987 You should hear them when they start floating the exhaust valves ..
5000 rpm?
Nick Coppola. More like 10000. Runaway diesels get really high in rpm.
Props for great reaction time. He looked around and as soon as he spotted something that would work he was on it
Probably my favorite video on RUclips. The rolling mountains in the background, the screaming Jimmy, and the rowdy country music playing in the background. Its almost perfect.
I always thought Honda was the only one with Vtec... That's really cool
lol
i lolled :D
I always viewed their vtec ads more for fuel economy/efficiency to be completely honest with ya. I'm not a honda fanboy, but definitely not the worst brand in my book either.
car nerd dude you better be fucking joking.
Who needs VTEC when your valves start floating all by themselves?
Great reaction! The urge to run like hell is suprisingly strong
My omc rotary sled motor dont do this
That was cool how fast you reacted. I know it was expensive and scary, but I gotta say I love this video. That engine sounds great.
Finally a bloke with enough brains to know how to stop a turbo runaway
at least he was quick thinking, I always kept an old mud flap nailed to a piece of 2X6 when playing with the Detroits , the mud flap would seal off any air and the 2X6 would keep it from being sucked in,.
How does this happen if you know?
unregulated fuel entering the combustion chamber either by the rack not adjusted right or something loose on a new engine.
dave12546 OK thanks
I worked at a construction site and I kid you not: Our veteran mechanic had a "runaway killer" tool made from an old frying pan covered in leather.
M. Scherer
Holy crap this is the first one I seen where that person actually knew what to do on a runaway
correct
The look on your face the moment just before you grabbed the rag.. glad nothing really bad happened! Really good save on that!
Actually the first time I've seen someone save a runaway, very nice
In my diesel class at the vocational school, years back we were standing around the Detroit we just rebuilt....in wittingly the instructor loosened the screw on the Governor...when we started it she ran.....we had the metal plate for the intake
lucky you didn't lose your hand.
Neal Baskin bullshit, he put it on in a safe way. He only put his full hand on it when the engine was almost stalled.
Yeah was thinking the same thing that turbo would have took is fingers in the best case scenario
Richard van Pukkem In the heat of the moment he could’ve easily had A finger slip in. And this is another type of video.
Hand was safe, the chunk of rubber? Plastic? Plywood??? Gave it's life.... Might have given himself a raspberry, but that's about as safe as he could have done...
Much better than others I've seen, who panicked!!!
@@allraiders420 if the best case scenario is him getting his finger taken off how does he still have them

then a bird sqwaked or something
That was his wife, lol

OMG THE BIRD HAHHAHAHAHAHAH XHD
I rebuilt the Rosamaster fuel pump on my Dad's beloved 856 IH. When I was picking up the rebuild kit and getting pointers from the dealership I was warned that if I didn't put a certain linkage in correctly I could have a runaway. After stationing my Dad at the fuel shut off and sweating bullets when the engine caught after bleeding the air out all was well. Nice quick thinking and better the turbo than the entire motor.
I'm very glad you saved it. It sounded like a good engine. When I saw the title, I was afraid someone was blowing one on purpose.

On a positive note your block is built solid and fuck and can handle 10k rpms lol
9 years later and this video is still gold. Congratulations to everyone who was here within a year or so of the post 👏
Wow. That was amazingly quick thinking!
Lucky you had good reflexes, most people, including myself would probably have just panicked and not known what to do, but you managed it nicely! A broken turbo is a small price to pay to save the rest of the engine!
I don't what you used to film this clip but you've captured the most wonderful colour balance very rich and vibrant.
tobortine exactly what I was thinking contrast is perfect

Just evening in the country side
calm down
Audio was good too!
Good quick thinking. My friend had his Duramax run away from him when he was tinkering in his garage.
That's when the instruction manual turns into the destruction manual. He annihilated his turbo but the engine was mostly okay lol
If that's your lady asking questions, i can for sure say she loves being a part of your ventures! Lucky man
Usually the problem is starting a diesel not stopping it LoL!
Lookup2Wakeup The whole point of a diesel engine is that it just revs up like this unless you hold the rpm’s down on purpose.
I always keep my old CO2 fire extinguisher near by when messing with old diesels
stormracer05 that’s a great idea. I always kept a thick phone book handy to put over the turbo inlet.
Rail fan. That's a better idea
Rail Fan the phone book sounds like a really good idea
FINALLY!! An intelligent comment!!
@M Bacon the seals will momentarily leak oil while under high vacuum. Just like having too high of oil feed flow. I doubt anybody with a draw through carbureted turbo setup has ever had a seal issue related to vacuum
It's satisfying to see someone who knows what they're doing
Watched it a hu Fred times over the years... Still one of my favorites!

Lmao
Worked on diesel engines for 30 years only had two runaways,one was a Detroit Diesel 6-71 out of an Ingersoll-Rand Air compressor.Governor failed in wide open position,,I had started the engine without an aircleaner installed.Blower was wide open to the air.Engine self destructed.Hell of a mess to clean up too.Other engine that ranaway on me was an old Continential (sp)Red seal 6 diesel that was being used as a training aid.This was the engine that you had to change the Roussa Master(sp) fuel injection pump to change the engine RPM from 1200 to 1600 RPM.After a pump change we restarted the engine,governor did not even try to hold rpm,engine RPM kept increasing until broke up,this one threw part of a connecting rod through a cinder block wall.Fun times.
i had my first one run away on me a few weeks ago, it was an international harvester model 1854, dont remember what the engine was but it was a straight six diesel that had been sitting for 15 years, i stuck a couple batteries on it and shot some ether in it just to see if it would fire cause i didnt want to invest too much of my time into it if it was never going to run, i shorted the solenoid out with a wrench and cranked it up and HOLY SHIT... i fell to the ground and nearly passed out just from the mixture of fear of death, adrenaline and shock, i ran about 30 yards and stopped and watched, luckily i had taken the fuel tank off and the only thing it had to run on was 15 year old diesel that was still in the lines so it died after 15 or 20 seconds, it slowed down slowly so im pretty sure nothing major went wrong internally, i know everybody on youtube is mad at me for using ether on a diesel, any ideas on what might have went wrong cause i still would like to fix it up, im open too suggestion.
Man this kind of stories are fuckin amazing, any gearhead would be paying complete attention, the way you describe it its like poetry
"this one threw part of a connecting rod through a cinder block wall." I'd pay to see that!
Lord Sandwich I searched for a video but without luck, theres actually a 2jz powered SUV from a place in middle east that had that happen while on a dyno, it was a huge mess, but I think it was on a compilation, so I cant really help you on that
Probably one of two things went wrong. The first is that you drowned the engine in ether. I doubt that possibility as you probably know better. (And really, using ether on an old engine like that is fine, as long as you do so sparingly. You just don't want to use ether on a newer engine.) The second and most likely possibility is just that the governor is gummed up from sitting so long. You could take the pump off and clean it yourself if you are handy with such things. If that isn't something you are good at; you could probably take the pump to a local shop to be repaired for not too much money. Either way, that isn't a show stopper. You probably expect to have to put several hundred into that engine to get it running again anyway. I don't think putting $200.00 into the pump is a big deal if the rest of the truck is worth it.
That was some proper quick thinking there! I think I’d have been like “stuff that, I’m outa here’”
That's the best video ever lol.
AT first, I thought this was a normal 4 cylinder diesel engine, but now, after 5 or so years, I know this is a two-stroke diesel, and that's why it "revved" so high.
as a dock master and mechanic at my dad's marina in the 80's, a nice yacht came in for fuel. After their short stay he re-lit the two 12-71 Detroit Diesel engines just to have one run away. Unfortunately, his close air dam cables were so corroded that they were frozen, and this 12 cylinder engine "grenaded" with me standing on the dock watching, and unable to do anything. After the dust settled, repairing this engine was a big job. The supercharger came apart blowing metal fragments into the cylinders and gauling all the pistons, and finally a broken rod stopped the beast. I will tell you, a run away DD of this size is a frightening sound.

You took this very well, good job 👏🏼
For sixty dollars, I built a snorkel with a valve and an adjustable clamp for the air intake for working on diesels. If anything goes pear shaped, you can just throw the lever and cut off the air. Best sixty bucks i ever spent.
I'd rather lose a turbo over a motor. way it sounded that thing was ready to chuck something out the block lol.
Handsome it is a 2 stroke
Handsome The turbo was probably the cause of the runaway in the first place, it probably leaked oil into the engine and since Diesel engines can run on just about anything it started going, so the turbo probably broke before this situation, the turbo was already lost
@@ericsson_motorsports The guy literally says why it ran away, nothing to do with the turbo (you can see it's pretty much new), it was the injector rack jamming open on the valve cover.
very smart and brave decision to make. because of that he did it quick enough so he could replace the turbo and not really damage the engine.
Clear thinking under stress, and good reaction time! It took you between two and three seconds to react, and you had the air intake covered four and one-half seconds after it ran away on you. Bravo!
That silence when you're pissed that something got messed up, but happy you avoided total catastrophe... I know that feeling.
Those fingers were so close.
Even though it can severely damage the engine it still sounded great
Agreed. When that turbo spooled, it sounded awesome

Very quick thinking, good save buddy
smart smart man. very quick thinking. I would have never thought of that and would have just ducked for cover. damn brave too, could've lost your hand
Risked his life to save a DD, mad respect
With older Detroit diesels are known for the rack sticking when there is reports the engine taking off as some diesel mechanics have an aluminium clipboard in their toolbox when they know to stop a runaway Detroit is to snuff out the air when the few were to award the mechanic a thug award for risking their life to save a runaway.
She's gonna blow, Cap'n!
I had a go-kart get a stuck throttle cable while I was riding it once, I had the same snap reaction to choke the intake. Feeling your hand around a hot engine behind your head to try to save your ass while doing 30 down a dirt road is probably what it feels like to be a fighter pilot in combat, and what this guy did must be what it feels like to be a bomb technician.
Who says a mechanic's life is boring?
it not the cable its the engine
bobby jeo You might want to re-read my comment. I was saying I had an experience with a runaway engine, and saying that in my own case it was due to a stuck throttle cable, I made no claims of knowing what caused the Diesel to runaway as I don't work with diesel, only gasoline and turbine.
+Tanya Sapien A stuck throttle cable is not a runaway lol
currjo10 it's functionally the same when it's a pullstart with no kill switch and you're weaving down a dirt road with corrugated steel drains on each side.
+Tanya Sapien lol you are a clown. No one cares about your home made go kart story, we came to see a diesel runaway. Your go kart was not a runaway. Fact. A runaway is when a turbo blows its seals and consumes the engine oil and coolant as fuel and runs wide open.
Surprised she stayed together! Well done man! We always kept an old clipboard handy when jacking with them... it will shut em down right now. :)
