He's in W-S near me Ken... unless the "elves" fixed it last night, I think he walked away *before* pitching a hammer at it!

I know that sudden ROAR and jump-out-from-under-you surge of power that is characteristic of the IDI 6.9/7.3 Navistars, just before they shut-down from lack of fuel.

It doesn't take an alert mind long to know it is time to switch tanks, when you feel the truck begin to jump out from under itself.

I always wondered why they didn't come up with a way to have that power all the time.

So BK, I take it this "symptom" does NOT appear in the CTD's?

Agreed! TDS is full of folks asking *how* to make this happen in a controlled fashion!
