Kingman, Arizona Doxol BLEVE
Просмотров 24 тыс.5 лет назад
Doxol Explosion: On July 5, 1973, in Kingman, Arizona, as liquified propane gas (LPG) was being off-loaded from a 33,500 gallon railcar tanker when a worker noticed a small leak in one of the connections. Normal practice was to strike the connection with a brass wrench in a way that tightened the connection. This time a normal wrench was used causing a spark, igniting the leaking propane gas. T...
Corvette Servo install for firmer shifts in Silverado, Sierra, and other GM vehicles.
Просмотров 51 тыс.6 лет назад
You can install the servo that comes stock in the corvette into other GM vehicles with the 4l60e, 4l65e, and the 700r4 for firmer shifts, and 1.5 times more holding pressure which helps with longevity of transmission clutches while towing or under heavy load. I have seen a couple vids, and a few forum posts but nothing too specific or step by step. That was my intention here. This is my first y...
Wow, my dad was a newly promoted sgt on DPS. We were behind the DPS station in a patrol car and saw this explode from a very short distance away. It melted the paint on fried the bugs into the windshield. I found out quickly that a DPS cruiser will do 60 mph in reverse. I was 6 at the time. Later in life I was a career firefighter and still think about this event everyday.
I new chris sanders from the big brithers program. He was a very good man
cheers for sharing what you could mate! gonna tackle this at some point when i'm not lazy and this'll be one of the removal/assemble/install videos i'll go off of.
I was remembering today that it is the 50th anniversary and thought everyone might want a little more insight of that day. My father was a photographer for the Kingman Daily Miner and also worked undercover narcotics for the Sheriff’s Department. He was next to an ambulance driver taking photos in close proximity when the tank car blew up. The driver suffered 40% burns and my dad by the grace of God, walked out with only a sunburn. The burned driver instructed my dad how to use the lights and sirens and he used the ambulance to drive many people to the hospital. Many victims lined the hospital walls. My dad had many nightmares and psychologically couldn’t get rid of the stinch of burned skin out of his mind. Interestingly, he did suffer internal injuries that were later determined to be caused from the explosion. He lived 12 years in chronic pain and agony. His organs had melted together (adhesion). Had most of his intestines removed and had a plastic stomach. Later contracted Pancreatitis. He was an amazing man. A decorated Air Commando and an instant friend to all those he met. He knew some of the other victims like Chris Sanders. It’s sad that by the time he spent a year in the hospital and 7 operations to separate his organs and follow ups, he found out too late about the lawsuit against Doxol/Droxol and received nothing from that which cost him his life and has not been recognized as one of the victims of this tragedy. Dad lost his battle at the young age of 43. I was almost 13 when this happened and was only blocks away hanging Scout-O-rama door knockers on people’s homes. When it blew up I was in the street and had direct view of the enormous fireball. I can never forget it… and how hot it was (on top of a hot summer day).
Sorry for you loss 🌸
Thank you kindly
I lived on Wikeup Avenue, the property closest to the railroad tracks back in 1974, I was six years old then. I remember some family members witnessing this event. Me and my parents were in Iowa during the year of the explosion. Kingman is my primary hometown. I'm currently working on videos about this event and the 1953 UFO event. They will be combination topic and music videos.
I don’t even use tow mode when I’m towing…😅
How is it shifting after long term
I remember this like it was yesterday...I was off of Detroit Avenue. my sister lived in the trailer park there .I remember the mushroom cloud. I was riding my bike around the trailer park ..stockton hill road was packed it was chaotic ...it was a sad day for kingman
there was zero reason to put tow haul on thats for when your pulling a load so if you wanted to see how that changed shifting on tow haul should of connected the camper 🤣
You don't have to cut the o-ring. Just get ahold of it and stretch it downward through the little bottom notch and it will allow you to remove the cover.
Rest in peace to those who passed in the explosion :( that must've been terrifying, seeing your life flash before your eyes like that. 😰
Thank you
Is there an upgrade to the large spring that goes in first? Anyone got a part number?
Is this applicable to a 2004 GMC Yukon 5.3L with 4L60e and AWD?
Yes bob.
Blew out windows in my grandparents house on 4th and Riata Valley some miles away
My uncle was county sheriff at that time. He says it is a a giant long blur in his memory.
Great Vidd 👍👍👍
something like this happened in Crescent City IL too. A tank car that exploded was propelled out of the middle of town and out into a cornfield a long distance away. A signifcant part of the town was flattened.
so will this speed up the shifts going up hill's make it move thru gears sooner ?
Doesn't change shift points, thats controlled by the computer. It applies more pressure to the 1-2 bands, the transition between gears is quicker, but the point in the rpm range doesn't change.
Is ur transmission still going?
I remember this when it happened. I was living in Grand Canyon and had been through Kingman many times, Several weeks after the explosion and I was going thru Kingman and i could not believe the devastation to the downtown area. Even today in 2020 you can still see signs of the Bleve.
Where in Kingman did this happen by the train station
Where can you see signs of the explosions? I’m staying in kingman today. Would like to check it out.
@@TheyreStillOutThere: If you want to look, the siding where it happened is between Lewis Kingman Park and Martin Swanty's Chrysler dealership, on Andy Devine/Route 66. . .
@@mortensen1961 was staying at the Rodeway Inn just past the dealership last night and knew I was in the general area but wasn’t 100% sure since information about where exactly it happened was fairly vague online at the Kingman city website, and the older locals we asked had never heard of the explosion. We’re in Gallup tonight. Thanks for writing back!
😥
How is the truck shifting now? Still running and shifting firm?
Chris Sanders was my stepfather, recently married to my Mother
Chris Sanders was my Children's Grandfather from his first marriage
Saw this film in rookie school, 1986.
I'll just limp it along till it dies. How about servicing the trans when you supposed to 🤷🏻♂️. Also, why the hell are you driving in tow mode?🤦🏻♂️.
A LOT of hd truks&4x4 have vette servo
I'm pulling propane now off the old repainted droxol storage tanks out by the airport, the data plate ages them at 1950
Trying to figure out why everyone keeps taking it apart
After the servo pin is removed, there is a spring that needs to be changed between the cups
Bruh u had towmode on of course it’s gonna hold for longer lol
I was born and raised in Kingman -Sept / '69 so I wasn't quite 4 years old when this happened. Everyone in town remembered this tragedy, it split the tanker car in two - sending one half straight up the other took off down the tracks like a rocket ! This lesson is still taught to firefighters all around the world.
Half of the tank car was propelled end-over-end 1,200 feet along the tracks!
Very true. We studied this event, and watched this film, in my fire rookie class in 1986.
Hi Denys, where exactly did this take place on 66? Toward the freeway or out toward Valle Vista? I live in Kingman now and have been reading about this.
My neighbor was a reporter on scene. He took shrapnel from the explosion that pass through his car door and into his stomach. He lived but had a patched up digestive system.
Tow Mode is designed to hold the shift longer allowing you to get whatever you are hauling moving quicker.
Apparently Chris Sanders was the brother to my grandma. Only found this out today through a 2nd relative who contacted me through 23andme. Crazy.
Who are you? Chris Sanders was my children's Grandfather
@@theresaclinch8901 So wouldn't that make him your father?
My ex father in law
Wow, very informative video.... Lol!!
Tow mode just makes it a 3 speed eliminating 4th gear so it doesn't keep shifting back and forth.
Not even close Bozo
Wow, people know so much...🤣
My grandpa was there when that happened. Thank God he was saved.
AMEN. I remember in fire academy them showing a BLEVE documentary - this was one of them in the film. Was your grandpa a firefighter, or a chemical worker?
@@maitai1133 Sorry for the late reply. He was neither, he was just travelling around the US with his friend, and they stopped in Kingsman. He said he was in the car at a gas station of all places, when he saw the explosion in the distance and then heard it and felt the shockwave. Luckily, he and his friend weren't hurt, but if they were closer this would be a different story, so I thank God they weren't hurt that day.
I spent an hour last night trying to get the servo cover pryed in enough to remove the clip. Was impossible! Your cover moved in with no effort. Mine is stuck! Finally gave up an hour later, with scraped up knuckles... Anyone have any suggestions? Not enough room to get a hammer in there and tap the cover.
I dont know man. Did you try a pry bar using the tunnel as the fulcrum? Maybe wack the prybar with a hammer? It should just be pushing against the spring, unless there is some grime in there? Maybe some atf in the groove around it to loosen things up? I wouldn't use any brake or carb cleaner incase you still cant get it off you dont want to destroy the o-ring. I also wouldn't use any chemicals you dont want in your atf... I would stick to ATF and a prybar, maybe a hammer to the prybar to shock it loose.
@@imjeremy51 ya, i got a pry bar up in the same location. My truck is identical to yours. I used some spray lubricant around the cover, but it just doesnt move in at all. I can move my trans and exhaust, but not the cover. Even tried channel locks on the cover, but im afraid to snap the cover. I wonder if i just try and pry the snap ring off the way it is, then try and loosen the cover free? Don't know why its so seized in place...
@@splash5974 I wouldn't try to get the snap ring out while the cap is up against it. The snap ring can't physically come out with it there (I dont think). If your really determined I would consider removing the exhaust so you can get to it. I would use a rubber mallet or be very careful against the aluminum housing/cap though.
Is it a good idea to install a servo on a non built 4l60 on my 2000 Silverado? A friend of mine gave me a servo he ended up not using and was wondering if this has any pros? Any things I should know before installing?

Yes help the clutch packs out in the end
YES. I have one and it shifts much better with no shift flair. I also installed a Sonnax pinless accumulator since the stock garbage tended to stick.
I remember it well .
I was across the Highway at a Bank Drive Through when it blew . July 5, 1973 approx 1:00 pm . I knew most of the Men who died . I was later a Firefighter with Kingman Fire .
Thank you . It was devastating to a small Town to lose a dozen of it`s VOLUNTEERS from it`s small Fire Department . My Uncle was the National Guard Sergeant that Guarded the Scene that night . There were MANY true Heroes that day . The entire Town came together , bringing ice to the small Hospital , in some cases , transporting Burn Victims to the Hospital . Many Businesses were lost . I didn`t join KFD until a few years later . The Valor belongs to those on the Fireground that day . As horrible a tragedy as it was , countless lives have been saved as a result . Not much was really known about BLEVE`s at that time . The Volunteers responded as good Firefighters would have . Trying to put the wet stuff on the Red stuff . There were 3 Volunteer Firefighters actively fighting the Fire as best they knew how when it exploded . They were the local High School Principal , the Operations Manager of the local Utility Company and the local Bread delivery Man . The lessons learned from that day have been studied and applied to countless Fire Departments around the World and have saved countless lives . I attended the Ranger LP Gas Firefighting School in the early 80`s where we actually were Instructed on how to fight these Propane Tank Fires . Especially having seen what happened July 5 , 1973 , it was pretty unnerving as I`m sure you can guess , attacking Fires deliberately set on Propane Tanks . But , through the knowledge gained from that horrible day , we learned how to do it and actually felt comfortable in doing so .
@@georgemcgillicuddy3498 George: Excellent post. Thanks for such a thorough explanation - and yeah, I remember a fire chief saying "There's nothing we've got here to put this out..." I went to the fire academy in 1988...almost ready to retire. Be safe, brother.
Ya mine had the bur too i just put it on the press but I did not realize it should come out till after i had the other clip out ot would have been easier but its done now
Fix your damn camera to something. We obviously you're not looking at what you're looking at
Need Transmission Fluid change
It holds the gear longer because ur in tow hall mode dipshit
The only piece of good info from this whole thing is @michael dose comment. Top notch info, there. The video is garbage and def not a install, tutorial, or anything of the sort.
Unbelievable. "I was hungry so I couldn't finish recording the video" "My phone ran out of memory" The whole point of this was to publish an installation tutorial because it's your opinion that nothing existed to document the process and then you give us this half-ass junk because you got a little hungry and I couldn't find something else to record with? Or update the memory on your phone? Maybe delete some of the 5-year old bullshit that you don't even look at anymore to free up space to finish the tutorial? What an A-hole. I had to sit here for 20-mins on my slow ass WiFi waiting 20-mins for the is to load watching a few seconds at a time and then suddenly you stop recording and put up some text? WTF dude. Total junk I still can't believe you put this video out in the name of "install" and show nothing but removing the exhaust shield and then showing a few parts & pieces of the kit. I have seen a hundred pics of the parts already. You should be ashamed of yourself. Complete and utter junk and waste of people's time.
Lol... sorry internet man. You are right and I didn't think of it that way. However, I showed the pieces layed out, and how they go together. Maybe to remove some apprehension people have about opening up their transmission because the part not filmed is super easy, you just put it back together the way it came out. I guess if you are incapable of putting something back the way you found it, you probably should keep your hands away from a transmission anyway.
Blahahaha lolollohahah
Was a very informative video....
The servo applies pressure on the band, not the clutches. The band is a weak point and the extra pressure is achieved by making the center section smaller, giving the apply piston more surface area. The band applies in 2nd and O.D. or 4th. Notice that the center section of the servo moves independently from the outer piston. The outer piston is located inside the cap that you see from the exterior of the trans. The outer piston applies pressure on the band when in fourth gear. When the user installed this set up he would be increasing pressure on second gear band apply only. Sonnax has a larger outer piston to increase pressure in fourth gear as well. I mention that because the band is a weak link and it can slip in fourth as well as second. Given the fluid color of this transmission I would say you may very well have some band slipping going on. Obviously it is best to make this mode before that begins to happen.
Michael Dose He mentioned in the description that the 700r4 needs the whole pin, why is that?
The servo applies pressure on the band via the apply pin. GM has three different lengths of pins. It is critical that after installation of the servo that the travel is between .120 and .070 inches. That is measured by installing the servo and then pushing in on the cap from outside of the transmission until you can feel it bottom out. That is a little tricky to do because you are pushing against cushion spring behind a washer on the second gear apply. That is critical because 4th gear is being applied via the piston inside the cap. There is only about .250 of travel inside the cap, so you need to be sure it's inside that range to get full apply on 4th. 2nd on the other hand is using the bore in the case so it has much more travel available. If you fall below the lower limit you can grind the pin down. Sonnax has directions on how to do that using a washer as a circumference guide. Obviously if it needs to be longer you will need a different apply pin. Short question, long answer hope that helps. One more note if you are not modifying the outer cap and only changing the inner second gear (assuming a new band is installed) servo your clearance shouldn't change.
So is it a bad idea to install a Corvette style servo on a trans wuthout building it first? You seem very knowledgeable, i ask because i would like to install a servo on my Sierra with the 4l60e. I find the trans pretty lazy between shifts, even at normal throttle position. Ive done a trans filter and replaced the fluid. I had the truck test driven by someone i know at the dealership, and they say its normal, and they are designed to slip slightly, in order to get a better driving experience. I say BS, and they probably do that so transmissions dont last over 10 years... Thank you
Great video. Do you have to deactivate stabilotrak and put it in tow mode for the servo to work?
Porfirio Hernandez Jr no, it firms up the shifts regardless. It just applies more pressure to the clutches. The tow mode and shutting off stabilitrack just changes the shift points, and doesn't automatically let off the throttle if the tires break loose.
@@imjeremy51 Actually it applies the band and holds it more firmer because the servo has a bigger area than the old. But since this was 3 yrs ago and by the looks of your fluid, you have probably overhauled the tranny by now as the 3-4 clutch is one of the weakest points in that transmission.
@@billmonroe8826 actually somehow the tranny is still kicking. However, I am about to put a built 6.0 in front of it so I can give the trans a proper send off.
The servo has more area for fluid to push on there by applying more force to the 2-4 band giving firmer shifts into 2nd and 4th. This is great for towing in overdrive.
Actually that is incorrect. 4th gear is applied via the piston in the outer cap. If that is stock you are modifying second gear apply pressure only. Sonnax makes a different cap, which has a bigger inner bore, not a lot bigger because it is limited by the size of the case bore. When towing, don't be afraid to downshift on a hill and hold it in third gear. I believe GM designed this transmission to come out of 4th easily. Overheating occurs when the transmission shifts between 3rd and 4th excessively. In that case I just hold it in 3rd until I am back on level ground. Hey these things aren't idiot proof.
