You're right. I'm just going to leave it be. It appears that cucvsrus also is done with the discussion as well.

Questions in posts 41 and 67 were directly posed to you. They were: Which you "thanked" him for. Not really a question, but more of a request I suppose. Then my post in #67 That was a secondary question after you stated "I rest my case" when you compared your truck to a heavily modified...

Mind helping out with some of the unanswered questions that have been asked from you in post number 41 and 67 of this thread? The speedo you posted certainly could happen from a 1009 according to the math.

You have a built 6.2 in your CUCV? I thought it was stock?

Yup, Heath's diesel holds a land speed record for a 6.5. But it's HEAVILY modified to stand up to 5K rpm.

Interesting bit of info. The detroit 6.2 has a "redline" of 3600rpm. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detroit_Diesel_V8_engine That'd co-inside with the 3400 defuel point.

The injection pump has a governor in it, as the governed speed is reached, it starts restricting/defueling. There's no throttle valve on a diesel, so speed is controlled by fuel delivery. A gas engine would either limit speed through ignition, fuel delivery, or reach a mechanical limit where...

I'm just still wondering how it's possible given the pump starts defueling at 3400~3600 rpm and you'd have to be at 4500 rpm if the speedo is right. Stranger things have happened of course. But a thousand RPM over defuel I've never heard of. (100, 300, maybe 500rpm yes, 1K no.) Let alone how...

My 1008 is exactly right on the money. Sitting still.

And on that note, here's a fun fact that I bet a lot of you didn't know. Take a look at your speedo. (Well an older cable driven speedo, not a modern electronic speedo) Look at the 0-10~15 marks, take a look at the space. Now, look at the space between the say 75-85 mark (Or whatever the...

Don't bother us with facts and numbers. 80mph is only 4K rpm. I mean, 6.2's are just 350's they converted to diesels right? :roll:
