I wish mine would run this good.

Time to get a pyro and mess with the smoke screw.

turn the fuel up and go for it Josh

I like the tinted windows

 

[Josh]

I like the viser with running lights, It looks good.

Firstly it's refreshing to see someone who is actually skilled at wheeling the deuce! Second, did anyone notice the winch leader chain dangling under the truck on the first obstacle? Always keep a short bungee cord to secure that chain when bouncing around on the trail. She sounds great out there on the trail.

shows about how crappy the stock tires are. makes me wish he had something decent and could show how good the truck could be.

The NDT tires were staying pretty clean, I think his difficulty was more in that he was running empty.

i'd like to try that with my XLs.

Thanks for the link.. makes me want one even more! If you guys use yours offroad how much more maintenance on the axles and stuff do you do?

Wow, I love the visor with the DOT lights and the tints.

Is anyone else concerned that revving an old Hercules diesel that hard would be an invitation for blowing a turbo or worse, throwing a rod?

It sounds like he's reving the heck out of it, but I'm curious what his actual RPMs were.

If the IP and its governor are set up right, the engine shouldn't be able to hurt itself at full throttle... even with no load.

Shouldn't and couldn't are not necessarily the same thing, though....

Excuse my ignorance, how on earth does a governor on a diesel work?

I saw the vid and also thought he was revving the crud out of it, but I have VERY limited experience with one of these.

Basicly the govener will engage and cut off fuel when a certan RPM is hit. It is ajustable, but making it rev higher will only cause problems. But on how it works in the paticular engines, I would say centrifical force, but I am unsure.

At first in that video when he was on the hill the motor would slow down then rev up, I thought he was clutching it, but I think he was bouncing off the govener.

 

[stumps]

The governor is a centrifugal type that is known as a flyball governor.

Nice polished chrome stack too! That really looks out of place! It sure sounds sweet, I feel sorry for the guy in his pickup or Jeep that unsuspectingly drives off into those ruts. Glen

turn the fuel up and go for it Josh

For those of us that have only heard that the fuel can be "turned up" could you elaborate or direct me to an information source for this action?
Thanks for your ongoing guidance Sir.....

I saw both of this guys video's a few days ago myself. Personally, I think that is a lot of unnecessary wear and tear. Between the bouncing off the governor and that thick black smoke pouring from the stack I think one of these days his rod is going to blow him a new air intake in his hood.
