Had a Cat V8 turbo runaway on us at work last year in a 90k aircraft tug. They are auto, so had to starve it of air. First tried a chalk against the airbox but couldn't get a tight seal. Ripped the airbox cover and filter off next and for a stupid second started to use my hands covering the...
Dang, this is the largest group of support I've seen. My less than year lifespan of a redtop matches the results on other boards I visit of not worth the money.
