That would occasionally want to run backwards!
I had an air throttle on my 8V92, kind of like a primitive cruise control. On 80 through Nevada I could flip the switch, dial it up to 2100 & climb up on the dog house to reach in the sleeper for my baggie of whatever.
Remember Glow Plugs?

blackw900 said: ↑Thanks for the clarification...I was a kid when I drove it so I was just guessing on how it worked...The trailer had air brakes and the tractor had hyd. cylinders at each wheel and a mechanical hand brake.
Glad I aint drivin' it now!Click to expand... -
how about air starters? first time I heard one I bout jumped outa my skin!
I still have an old Kubota tractor with a compression release and my P/U has glow plugs (86 Chevy)
When I got out of school I worked at a truck shop we had an old gas tractor converted to a wrecker, what a gutless POS. -
My powerstroke still has glow plugs! I have used ether on starting some military trucks that are stubborn to start LOL It works almost every time!
-
I have worked on many diesel water and fuel pumps in the military that have commpression releases also. I hate using those darn things.
Did you know the Marine Corp still uses the 8v92 blower/turbocharged air throttled POSs. Still in use today and they just stopped building trucks with them in it about a year or 2 ago. Now they have switched it to a C-15 cranked to 625 and a 7 speed allison. -
Oh hell, the truck I took my driving test in had an air starter. I had forgotten about it until I started the truck again. The tester and I both about jumped out of our skins.
