    Arb front bumper, warn winch, All Pro rear bumper, OME up front, OME and All Pro Standard in Back, ARB locker, 34 x 10.5 KO2's, 17" Level 8 Trackers, and fancy single piece driveshaft.
    So did the engine self destruct or run out of oil? At least you should get a new truck. Or at least a new engine.

    The hazards or pitfall of diesel engines, it does rarely happen (runaway) I’ve seen three at best fortunately someone got to them in time to avoid serious damage or injuries.

    I won’t be buying any, no need and they’re noisy as hell too. I wouldn’t be able to enjoy my Tchaikovsky, "1812" Overture lol!

    But if I had to haul a couple race horses all over, Or a large RV, that would be my choice.

    I had an F250 Super Duty diesel do it one time. Dealership could not make it do it again. I told them let it run a little bit. They had in their shop. After about 10 minutes white smoke started filling up the shop. They started raising garage doors. I said see I told you.

    I'm glad I have diesel Hilux without the turbo. Although the possibility is there for a runaway, there's less of a chance without a turbo.
