I'm curious. What did you do when the engine ran away? How did you shut it off?

When it started it came on full throttle. I hit the pedal a few times thinking something was stuck with no response so, I pulled the shutoff. Waited a few seconds to try to restart it and it wouldn't. The injector shop said it was locked up from the fuel. I'm embarrassed to say the diesel was orange when we drained it.

Both of the trucks I bought had orange diesel too, one ran like poop and the other had a stuck HH plunger from it.

Let's see:
- Diesel is dyed Red, right, and
- If you mix Red with Yellow you get Orange....
Wait. You don't think???!

Have you tried buffing it out?

That happened to mine too. Try taking it off and running over it with the truck a couple times. It got the bend down to a manageable level so that it is still functional. Not pretty but good enough for now. Of course if you're going to get a new one a lot of work to take it off and on twice, but if you have to wait a while...Nope... at least not untill it has a little motivation from a sledge

This might be a better picture of what did the damage ha
never would have thought a little bush could cause such harm. The wife thought it was pretty amusing.

Hind sight is 20/20, but I would have used long straps or just pushed it over with the front bumper.This might be a better picture of what did the damage ha

When pushing a tree, make contact at the bumper mount point(s). Using the center of the bumper could merely make your bumper look like that tailgate.
