Well, that's the idea. But after the front pully gets slammed repeatedly into other iron and the poor thing probably runs without water till it's ready to blow, gets shifted at full throttle over and over, etc. I would not install it in any pickup of mine. My father used to hate destruction derbies and I always loved them. But I guess using a Cummins is beyond what's fun for me, mainly because I can't believe someone would waste one that way. Plus I like those old Imperials and have had five of them. Amazing cars for that era.
Those old Mercuries with the backwards back windows, from about 1960, seem to do better than almost anything. I remember once when I was kid in So Cal, there was a big event where all brand new cars were used. Cool. It just flaberghasted my father.

Why didn't anyone in D.C. think of this? (just thought to combine the topics of derdy's and cash for clunkers) They should have had city-wide demo derbies with all the cars turned in...at least we could have gotten some enjoyment out of watching vehicles being destroyed rather than blowing up the motors running em full of water.

my mom got a thing in the mail for her '03 suburban w/ flexfuel option (about 17mpg). but nothing for my step-dad's '94 F350 w/ 460 (about 10mpg).
my only question is
"WHAT THE **** ARE THE BIG WIGS THINKING???"

Even though mine does qualify at 16 mpg, I cant stand the thought of what they would do to it, especially after replacing both pumps.
