I've had more GE units runaway than EMD's of any kind. Had a CAT repower go nuts too, it blew itself to bits in the process. Navistar International V-8 truck engines can run away during warm up if the temp sensor fails and gives a false excessive cold indication---most of the time they catch themselves, but once and a while a high milage engine will throw a piston or rod out the side of the block---wife peed herself when one threw a rod beside her.
