Another thing that I have to pray for is action on the lines that I'm going to take you to, hopfully we'll see something good. Lets see what happed today to me??/.....hummm. Today at work I went out for a road test with a tra***ruck. Just yesterday I finished assmebling a DT466 an on highway diesel, I put it in the truck assimbled all the other accessories like air-to air piping and coolant lines. Anyway, I 'm traveling allong I 476 which is the Blue Route doing 60 then I hear a boom, then air pissing out. I lost my throttle responce. Ended up doing 21 mph down the highway for a mile until I found a space to pull over. I open the hood and found that one of the clamps on the trubo pipe failed (becasue I didn't tighten it). Therefore I had no trubo boost. Plus this engine isn't designed to run naturally aspired. So, I spend 1/2 hour turning nut on the clamp w/o any tools to tighten it. And the engine was hottt hottt.
