Hey,

Well if you are on a hill and the front of the truck is facing up the hill,
you put in first, get rolling down the hill, and drop the clutch, it will
run backwards. This is not good. Exaust goes out the intake, the oil pump
don't do jack, the water pump don't either, and God knows what the turbo is
doing? Forcing exaust out. You can catch your air filter on fire and bad
stuff happens. So its not hard to do, but in normal operation, you should
have no excuse for it happening. Just my 2 cents again:)

There is a very fine line between being crazy and stupid, BUT its still a
line. (thats me)
