Hello list!
For the record! I was not planning to try it! I was told it was possible to
have it happen under certain circumstances! My question is how likely is it
to happen, and will it do major damage? An earlier post said it could happen
if rolling a down hill backwards to start the truck! Can a diesel engine
actually run backwards? Thanks!
"not totally crazy yet, but working on it!"
Longhunter7 out!
