Engine run away is not something a lot of 6.2/6.5, dmax, owners face. But once someone faces it or something similar like WOT pmd or bad fuel shut off solenoid- it becomes more of a consideration. As soon as most people experience it first hand- they either mandate it on all their diesel engines or walk away from diesels forever. Anyone that watched a few YouTube videos starts thinking a shut off valve is a good idea. Then they search online to see prices that ends the theory.
I worked in fuel and oil industry where they are mandated where $2500+ fully automatic and certified unit can make sense even on a $20,000 or more engine.
I’ve spent time figuring out an affordable alternative to what is for sale, cable activated and NOT certified.
I haven’t found any for under $500, but could maybe get it together for half that retail.
Anyone interested? What pricetag would people go for on a cable activated one if I set up with a vendor to sell them?
It wouldn’t work with stock turbo hummers- need an inner cooler. n/a hummers could adapt to it. All pickups could adapt to it. There is a couple ways to make them, inline hose or upper intake mounted depending on intake you have and desire.
I don’t know if this is something that could be brought to market or not. I wouldn’t sell them direct- only through forum vendors. I am a firm believer in that. I haven’t contacted any vendor about this yet, want to know before wasting their time.
Please let me know good, bad or ugly. If anyone knows comparable cost units out there, please share. Could save me and vendors time and help everyone that wants to protect their engine and family at an acceptable price.
