- surprised you didn't find a way to remove that.
It had nothing to do with governor. The truck didn't have enough power to go to the next gear. 17 MPH was 5th gear, in the time it took me to get the lever from 5 back to 1 and flip the range to high (6th gear), the truck would slow from 17 to about 12 and that was 1100 RPM in 6th... and it would die. Sucked balls.

I've met WSB. Mistrust is prudent.



Though I drive other people's cars much slower than my own.

TERRORIST ARRESTED.




AP NEW YORK -- A fire sprinkler designer from New Jersey was arrested today at John F. Kennedy International Airport as he attempted to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a set square, a slide rule and a calculator.

At a morning press conference, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said he believes the man is a member of the notorious Al-gebra movement. He did not identify the man, who has been charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of math instruction.

"Al-gebra is a problem for us," Gonzales said. "They desire solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in search of absolute values. They use secret code names like 'x' and 'y' and refer to themselves as 'unknowns', but we have determined they belong to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country. As the Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say, 'There are 3 sides to every triangle'."

When asked to comment on the arrest, President Bush said, "If God had wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, He would have given us more fingers and toes." White House aides told reporters they could not recall a more intelligent or profound statement by the president.
