guys I am still in shock what happened yesterday,
driving my M1223 ( she was running beautifully) 27.000 miles on the truck,
truck was running absolutely perfect
driving about 45 mph
I noticed Rpm would not go back down
I thought IP spring broke
I tried to slow down, thankfully 12k brakes did slow down,
I Turned off the switch while in gear, it kept running,
I knew it was a run away engine.
I didnt put it in park, I tried neutral for a less than a second, engine Rpm took off
But I did it so fast and back to gear that engine didn't have time to over rev.
my Gf was with me, I asked her to switch seats and press brakes as hard as she can while truck is in gear and running
I got out opened the hood and pulled the IP wire, it kept running,
Transmission in gear kept RPM down about 2500 range
I tried to cover the air intake, it didnāt work ,
I had one option only, cut the fuel line,
after about 45 seconds engine stopped,
wow![Man facepalming :man_facepalming: š¤¦āāļø](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/joypixels/emoji-assets@5.0/png/64/1f926-2642.png)
scary shit, if she wasnāt with me, I donāt know what I would of done, because if I put it in park engine would of blow immediately.
I had to call my worker to give me a ride to get my Tacoma and the tow bars to tow the humvee away,
Traumatized from this,
I never heard DB2 run away before![IMG_7428.jpeg IMG_7428.jpeg](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/data/attachments/670/670862-3e0de784df23b5463ea752624876862a.jpg)
