The concept of shifting at 1,000 RPM just blows my mind.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, here\u2019s what happens when you put a diesel motor on a dyno and over-rev the crap out of it.  Things go from bad to worse very quickly, and I\u2019m glad to be watching this from a safe distance.  Connecting rods, fired from an exploding engine, definitely leave a mark if they hit you.<\/p>\n<p>Source:  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bangshift.com\/blog\/Dyno-Carnage-Video-A-Diesel-Explodes-It-s-Guts-During-a-Dyno-Pull.html\">BangShift<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/36aAHp559MJPknId3FXapeZbMyA\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/36aAHp559MJPknId3FXapeZbMyA\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/36aAHp559MJPknId3FXapeZbMyA\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/36aAHp559MJPknId3FXapeZbMyA\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I once had a chance to drive a full size Volvo tour bus in the UK.
