BangShift reader TruckPuller sent us a tip on the wildest engine dyno failure video we have seen in quite some time. It features a straight six diesel engine on the dyno, which we think is a Cummins, being worked pretty hard at full throttle. Things look and sound good for about 15 seconds and then there is a strange flatline in the RPM curve and BLAMO!
This isn’t throw a rod BLAMO, this is suitcase nuke BLAMO and the best part is that the video is edited with a slow motion replay of the ‘splosion so the frame by frame destruction is totally visible. When the whole top of an engine, especially a heavy as pig iron diesel is thrown like a down pillow during a sorority’s slumber party there’s lots of destructive force involved.
FEW TURKEYS HAVE BEEN AS THOROUGHLY SMOKED AS THIS CUMMINS BIRD IS! PRESS PLAY AND DUCK!
“thrown like a down pillow during a sorority’s slumber party”
Snicker.. snort.. snicker… snort, snort, giggle … that’s funny right there !!
That’s what happens when you smoke too much turkey before starting the dyno up….
