If it revved up massively but then cut back down when you dipped the clutch, it could be the anti-stall going totally batshit in combination with other faults, especially if you were trying to be really delicate with how you drove it.

That makes some sense considering the first time it went mad I was feathering the throttle up a hill. I had been using the floor it to near redline in first as you approach the hill then feather throttle to balance momentum and traction on the way up and hope you don't run out of puff approach. CommieGIR posted:Taking bets on the bearings are well hosed even if it is running. Oh aye. I wonder how it will drive tomorrow when is cold. Thankfully I've only got about 150-200 miles before I return it and it isn't my problem. I could have swapped it out for another van but it would have made a 100 mile drive into a 200 mile drive so gently caress it.

um excuse me posted:Not to downplay the seriousness off throwing a tire off a vehicle, but lug centric wheels make huge loving racket when the lugs loosen up. Bearings make noticeable amounts of noise when they start to go, not as much as lugs, but noticeable. But these are the ones on the vehicle you drive. I imagine you could miss quite a bit on a trailer before being loud enough to hear. I was headed north several years back, had just changed from snow tires to summers. Thought I heard something funny, it got louder, to the point where there was a helicopter hovering over my car. Stopped, and checked wheel lugs. They were quite loose. Tightened them up, continued on my way. Helicopter also left. Lesson I learned: retorque wheels. I actually keep a torque wrench on my car at all times now. Comes in quite handy.

Reminds me of an experience I had a while back I was riding my motorcycle through the suburbs at a reasonable speed, nothing fancy or stressful. Suddenly I heard this awful metallic banging, pinging noise, like a horrible case of detonation and backfiring, or like pieces of my bike were falling off and bouncing down the road. I immediately snapped the throttle closed and looked down -- no, the chain is still attached, there's no smoke coming out of the exhaust, the wheels look fine... ...then I noticed the high school marching band in the parking lot beside me, practicing on their drums and xylophones.

I'm tooling along, minding my own business, when there is this sudden vibration - a heavy thrum - out the rearview mirror is all a-blur. Then: a heavy drone sets in. I come off the gas, thinking I've blown a U-joint on the driveshaft ('65 MoPar; happens all the time) or I'm about to throw a rod. Or a tire is coming off. Maybe a wheel. The drone changes pitch a little, and a shadow passes over me. It's a Lockheed Orion, on final to Willow Grove Naval Air Station.

DJ Commie posted:I always assumed they injected it into the DPF itself, unless you're purposely injecting in the engine on the exhaust stroke. The first one involves more parts and the second one increases the chance of bearing failure past 70-100k miles due to gradual oil thinning. Guess which manufacturers went with.

Checked the oil today.... 2cm above the max on the dipstick. Switched it out for a new van before it blew up. Edit: It started this morning with no EML  It then ran the exhaust cleaning routine twice in a 45 min drive to get a new van.

Same thing happened to me outside of Malmstrom once. I'm not sure what the plane was, but it took a long moment to realize it wasn't something inside my car trying to rattle its way to oblivion.

My horrible mechanical failure was the rental Elantra with 35k on the clock that had the (probably) Ac compressor seize and throw the serpentine belt an hour outside of Vegas. Luckily I limped it to a truck stop in the middle of nowhere.

I haven't dealt with a DPFs in a few years, apparently some have gotten better, but most of the ones i ran into either required the vehicle to be stopped or over ~60kph for 45 minutes, to run a full regen cycle, something a delivery van wouldn't often do.

We found that on the 09 diesel Cruze it was better to change down to 4th gear otherwise you wouldn't have enough revs to get the process to complete at legal speeds.

I know a guy that was driving along at just the right speed to stay in the direct path of a rotating tornado siren and he thought the van was disintegrating around him.

E: I actually deliver pizza boxes and food packaging, so the speed of delivery matches the speed and care of the items once they are full and being delivered to customers. Gotta keep it consistent.

Last weekend was bad for B16s at my local track. I did this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVmkqAC5QfA But a friend did this:   VTEC  Tried to find the piece of block later that night during a track walk, nowhere to be found.
