Aw heck, just bump it up till it runs backwards then forwards till it idles.
I used to drive an old Mack "B" cab that if you weren't paying attention it would start and run backwards. Downright freaky. No oil pressure though, and the exhaust would puff out the air cleaner. The boss said drinking wasn't allowed on this job. HAH, don't need it with this truck!

Bet it was an old 2 stroker? I have seen a 6v92 silver run backwards. Kewl as heck.

 

Actually it was a Maxidyne 325hp v8 with a 5sp tranny. What a rush to drive. You rev it till the pistons started swaping holes and then grab a grear and it droped to 1250 rpm and you just floored it and hoped it could pull up. Kinda freaky to pull 105,000lbs with a motor at 1300rpm. Had dual stacks too. So I had steriophonic noise. No pyro guage. The Mack guys said just drive it. He he, so I did. It took a month and the turbo blew in half. Gee, I wonder why?
A week later, I got it back and wa'la, I had a pyro guage.

And you guys complain about the rough ride in OUR trucks?
