Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
I was skimming thru the Diesel Stop archives and ran across this... . unbelievable if you ask me... . there is no way in H*** you can begin to break in an engine in 9 minutes. Also I love the lug it dead from 3k while red hot thing too. 
Cummins testing takes around 30-60 minutes in the loadcells if Im not mistaken. I've got a procedure book laying around somewhere.
****No, when TheDieselStop bunch was at the Indy plant a couple of years ago, every new PSD engine that came off the assembly was run into a test cell, hooked up to fluids and an automated dyno and computer, then run under load on the dyno up to redline until it was red hot. The last part of the test was to lug it down to almost dead from over 3,000 RPM. The exhaust manifold and turbo housing were literally red hot.
It takes a lot less than 20 minutes, but more than a few minutes. I'd guess about 8 or 9 minutes from the time it enters the test cell until it comes back out again as a certified good-to-go PSD. ***

Thanks, but I will stick with my Cummins.
