Ever thought of putting your ute on a dyno?

Ex 2920hp truck

oh. it will be ok, it will just buff out.
would a claim under the CGA be out of the question ? I would have though that the engine should have been able to cope with being tweaked and modified within an inch of its life, then having the s**t reved out of it for an extended period of time !

Watch the third video in the link:
"2,920 HP Ram Truck Diesel Explodes on Dyno"
It looks like they run that truck for ages before it blows, it did 1 full power run, then on the second it blows.
I wonder how they were cooling it?
There doesn't look to be a dyno fan at the front blowing air into the radiator, in fact to me it looks like it doesn't even have a radiator?

No, but I thought of building my own dyno for dyno for dynoing small engines and motorbikes.

Watched another video, looks like its a sled pull truck- so probably no radiator.

Hey Phillip,
How you going?
Nothing like a Cummins putting out a little horsepower.

If only this would happen to ALL USA V8 trucks.
