I'll let someone else chime in definitively, but I'll bet it's to let you know that the fuel shut off circuit has been tripped due to extreme shock.

if i had access to a sweet area like those lads did i would have done that to every car i have owned and was on its way out.... including my 85 civic hatch, my 88 aerostar and my 88 accord.. i woulc have destroyed them all. instead i let the civic get impounded, the aerostart i destroyed with a bat, and the 88 accord i drove straight to the junkyard.

I just love how the little diesel just keeps on purrrrrring would have been nice to have engine like that here. A 4.0 would have probably died in the first or second video.

I have seen those vids before, he says somewhere that the truck would not pass inspection so he just took it out for some fun.

No matter what I could never do that, I have to much respect for machinery.

Definitly enteraining,Yes the Diesel Purred gracefully. The Body getting jack off the chasy was a tad distirbing but Hell the drivers seat and steering wheel where still intact and that is all that counts.

Has nothing to do with the fuel shutoff. I've had my truck do that after hitting down hard on a rock but the engine kept running just fine. Had to shut the truck off and restart to get the system to reset.
