How about (georgia overdrive) have you ever heard of that?
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Yea, I know what it is. Not a real good practice though. I suspect you could overspeed the deuce drivetrain real easy using Georgia overdrive.How about (georgia overdrive) have you ever heard of that?
You'll learn alot more that way than just looking for a direct answer.I actually searched for starting in 2nd gear and a lot of threads came up where it may have been mentioned but it would have taken all night to read thru 7 pages on this one and 5 pages on that one, over and over.
So the 2nd Low wont affect the "woodruff"key but 2nd Hi will?
You sir, have balls of steel lol...My '00 Pete was goverened at 85 and I only hit that once and I didnt much care for it... 'course I was pulling a wiggle wagon so....Fastest in a semi ever for me was 95mph under its own power, bobtail. I never was much of one to be trimming my toenails on the fan, and I rarely ever stomped on my CATs nuts too hard. I like to be gentle with expensive toys lol....I also float gears but it just wont do it on my deuce...I need more practice. I start off in 2nd because for whatever reason, by the time i manage to get it into 2nd ive almost rolled to a stop.. 1st to 2nd is the toughest shift in my truck and I dont know why.O I would never use georgia overdrive on a deuce.I did it all the time when I was driving over the road. I hit 122 mph in a 66 mph governed truck one time...

Same here. I follow that exact same pattern most of the time.I'm a "splitter"......I almost always start in Low Range, 2nd gear......third, fourth, fifth.......back to High Range 4th gear and then up to fifth.
It's like having a six speed.......my bobber it would accelerate like a rocket using the split shift.
Same here, it feels like I'm dragging the shifter out of the basement and down the gravel driveway to get it into second.1st to 2nd is the toughest shift in my truck and I dont know why.![]()
A newbie here, so my opinion gets greatly discounted, but in my 600 mile recovery trip I determined that my truck is happiest when I rev-match it as if I were floating the shift and then use the clutch anyway.I do float the gears on non-synchronized transmissions. It's hard on the syncros on synchronized transmissions though. On the deuce I use the clutch.
