Re: Detroit 4-71 run away
Most of the in-line 71 series diesels had a flap inside the airbox that was supposed to cover the blower inlet and shut the air off and kill the motor. They very rarely worked! I've seen GMC's with the liners so worn that they would run on the lube oil they sucked past the rings! Not a lot of fun!
