You do understand the combustion process of a diesel vs gas motor?
On the runaways the engine is getting its own fuel source, so say a key turning off the fuel pump (if it had an e one) would do nothing.

I lost the turbo on a 3406e cat and that bitch tried taking me for a ride. Luckily I recognized what was going on and left it in 8th gear as I entered a rest area. I turned off the key and stood on the brakes and it heaved up then died and backfired.
I remember a pro stock car doing damage to the engine and it ran away. The safety safari was on top of it and hosed halon down the intake.

The small tubes on the side of the air-box, are oil drains. If you break a oil control ring or the wrist pin seal is burned or poorly set it will puke oil on one side. If you get oil out of both sides then look to the blower seals for the source. Sometimes you can get lucky by removing the air-box covers and use a mirror as someone slowly rolls the engine over with a wrench and you can find the damaged wrist pin seal. The wrist pin seals are a tin plate that cups into the piston bore. It's a crap shoot when you set them. A hand suction cup is used to test for proper seating. A golf ball works well for seating the cups.

Ok. So I thought this truck had a air shut off for run aways but I am not sure now. The og owner said that the cable to shut the truck down wasn't working, so he always just put it in high gear and killed it....So there is a pull cable that is on the floor in front of the shifter. It routes down to what appears to be the back of the blower. The lever that this cable attaches too is stuck (I haven't had a chance to work on it yet). Is this the fuel shut off? Should there be a cable in the under dash somewhere for the fuel? There is also a lever behind the shifter that does not have anything attached to it. Can anyone tell me what this is for? I would like to know what these are for before I jump into fixing them. Thanks.

Im glad I read this and I wasnt imagining that 6-71 sputtering and then running backwards one day. Sucked the exaust flap down and rolled smoke from the intake.
I figured cause it was worn out...add oil and start it, it didnt wonk wonk wonk, just a steady roll until she caught, then puked the oil down the side of the stack until she decided what her level should be. I think I dumped the clutch with the brakes engaged to shut it down, then cranked right back up like normal. Was a 67 Bucyrus Erie truck crane, 6-71 lower 3-53 upper. 2 steer axles and you were in front of them, hanging off the front bumper basically. 48 mph floored. Manual steering, that sucked. It was scrapped around 06. Its little brother the Grove 18 ton with a 4-71 was driving as of last week. On a cement mixer awd chassis. Makes me miss my 20's and the sound of a Detroit. Scrapped a running Bucyrus-erie 36h excavator once, 6v71 in it. I remeber thinkg, how to sneak the blower home. |

This... if it is the governor box it will have the throttle pedal linkage going into it as well as the fuel shut off.
If it is a lever that actuates a flap in the path of the air-flow then it is the emergency air shut-off flap.

I am currently looking for a cattle trailer for this truck. I will mainly be using it to haul pairs to pasture in the summer. My current lease is 90 miles away from my headquarters. I haul about 160 pairs to this lease and pasture another 25 pairs 20 miles away. The rest of the cows stay on my ranch. I have a choice between a pot and flat deck trailer. Will this truck (or me) with 350 horsepower and 13 spd be hating life grossing 80,000 pulling a cattle pot? Should I play it safe and get a flat deck that will be grossing around 50,000 to 60,000 and make more trips. There are a few short 7% grades. Pros to pot is haul more in one trip, cons are you will drag belly in some areas, top heavy and harder to pull, more up front cost. Straight deck is more maneuverable but will haul less on each trip, cheaper up front cost.

I went and looked at a straight floor yesterday and it was a pile. Drove 200 miles today and looked at a 47ft 1986 Wilson pot and bought it. They used to pull them full all the time with these trucks, no reason that I can't do it too. Time to man up and drive my ass off I guess. I will try to get some pics, definitely going to get some looks at the sale barn this fall with a '73 2 stroke cabover Pete and old school pot...

Well I went up to my summer pasture lease, which is 90 miles away and loaded 41 1300 lb momma cows and brought them home. Loaded 21 600 lb calves on the powerstroke. Blew a tire on the pot and tore up the back end of my trailer where the tail lights mount, really sucks. The truck drives great but I definitely would like more power. I have to pull a 7 percent grade that has a sharp turn at the bottom. Hit the bottom doing 65 and crested it doing 10, white knuckle ride. This was the first time I have ever driven a semi truck loaded, I was sweating cresting that hill. Downshifted 9 gears between the bottom and top.

There ain't a bit of shame in going down a grade slowly. There are lots of people that throw their trucks off a hill and burn the brakes all the way down. I use the highest gear that will hold me to a steady speed without touching the brakes. That used to be 5th doing 19 mph with my old engine & trans and now it's 25 in 6th with the new stuff. Granted I'm grossing 96k+ when I do it but the method is the same.
