First and foremost, that truck is one badass, down to business, take no prisoners, kicking ass and taking initials because it ain’t slowing down long enough to take names, ego killing machine!!! After previously stumbling upon and watching the “internet video”, that you briefly mentioned in this video, where this beautiful truck was violently shaken… “to near death, throwing engine parts through the grill during an episode of the runaways”, as some folks commented on the KZitem short that I saw. After watching that video and reading a comment that the driver and/or owner or somebody in the circle put out another follow-up video explaining what happened. I quickly ran to the search bar looking for this video here. Then, after I watched this video and hearing you say, “a valve in the injector pump stuck and the driver couldn’t reach the switch to cut off the pump and kill the engine”, a light bulb, in my head, turned on. That light bulb was just a simple idea that came to me… and while it may be a very simple idea, it is undeniably a very effective idea nonetheless!!! And the best part about it is that it’s tried and true, been used the world over ever since it’s inception and it is even required by law in most all places in the world. So, if you don’t mind, please allow me to introduce and/or elaborate on my “ingenious” idea on how-to shut down the engine, when the driver cannot access the kill switch, possibly preventing this violent situation and potentially other similar and expensive incidents from happening again, in the future. Now, let’s get to the “meat and taters” of my comment… you mentioned a “cut off” switch, for the fuel injector pump, somewhere on the dash, within the driver’s compartment, that the driver could’ve activated to cut off the injector pump, essentially shutting down the engine, because he just simply could NOT get to, mainly because he was being shaken and badly beaten, like a red-headed step child, when the truck started bouncing all over the place at the end of the run. In a concerted effort to prevent this from happening in the future, had the need arise, couldn’t a “kill cord” be used in the driver’s cockpit, just like what is used on most all boats and all personal watercraft like a jet ski??? You know, a short lanyard, connected to a cut off switch and the driver, of an open powerboat or personal watercraft that kills the engine, in the event the rider is dislodged from the cockpit and/or thrown overboard. The “kill cord” could be wired in conjunction with the original kill switch for situations just like the driver of this truck experienced, that way he could still use the kill switch, if he were able to get to it and if he couldn’t activate the kill switch, for whatever reason, the “kill cord” would be the driver’s hero. I’m sure if the cord was attached to his wrist with very little slack, it would’ve worked flawlessly in the previous situation because I’m sure his arms were flung and/or bounced far off of the steering wheel and far enough away that the kill cord could’ve shut the fuel pump/engine down, essentially eliminating this type of situation, while potentially even saving tons of money in repairs, moving forward!?!?!? I don’t know, it’s just a thought I had that popped in my head when you said that the driver couldn’t get to the fuel pump kill switch, due to the fact that he was being violently beaten to a pulp. Have a great day, be safe and DRIVE DIESEL!!!

Thank god. This truck is my personal favorite, I was so sad when I saw it "runaway", but now my day has been made.

“How does the steering work?”, you ask… well, just like any vehicle that is steered with a steering wheel. You turn the steering wheel to the left and the front tires turn to the left, causing the vehicle to turn left when the wheels are rolling and the vehicle is in motion. And, just as you guessed, when you turn the steering wheel to the right, it does the same exact thing as when the steering wheel is turned to the left, just in an opposite direction!!! Hope this helps. And remember… “DRIVE DIESEL”!!! 😂😂😂

This thing is badass. Id love to see a full video on it. I saw the tiktok video the pipes looked red hot during the fuel issue. Although its not technically considered a run away, what would you call that situation itself?
