So I guess none of you ever had that happen. Here's your answer. Set brakes. Put it in highest gear and let the clutch out.

Back in the "OLD" days, some trucks came with an "EMERGENCY CUT OFF." A cable that activated a "butterfly" cutoff on the air intake.

Set the air brakes, stomp on the brake pedal and hold it, put it in 5th or 6th gear and dump the clutch, it may diesel a bit, but it'll die.

Quickest Way to Shut That down is to Throw a Towel into the Turbo. No Air, No Combustion. Sure it'll Destroy the Turbo but ... it's Gonna Self Destroy itself AND the entire Engine. So..... JUST DO IT!

Just block off the air and the engine will stop. How do I know this?? I was a trucker for 32 years and have had 3 runaways and saved all 3 motors with out major damage to the block or heads.

this happens mostly when the wrong oil is used in this engine you need a diesel rated oil ,they probably used an oil for gas engines and too low of viscosity, it just part it and get back until its done

when I build my diesel as a race truck definitely putting a air intake shut off valve to shut down if God forbid I'm in this situation.

Um.. just a thought but.. maybe turn the engine off? Turn the key.. unplug the battery.. Yk literally any of the like 4 5 options to kill an engine. But no let’s stand back and record and let it blow tf up. Yea 👍. This is America 🇺🇸

Cut off air intake is the cheapest solution if it’s safe to do so.

My question would be how does it leak enough to burn its own oil? How is the oil getting dumped into the engine?

Put a rage in the air cleaner so it cuts off the air intake to the engine.

you have to kill the oxygen intake that way if you don't have oxygen you don't have fire well there isn't but three things that make those engines run to begin with that's fuel fire and oxygen ( air)

Easy in 3 steps 1. Open the hood 2. Take the intake filter out 3. Put a towel stopping the air going into the intake If it doesn't work, leave a comment.
