Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I wondered about that light myself. Mine never had it but I see some with and some without on GP.
Indeed
Mine has one. I didn't realize that they were an "option" in these trucks.
Yeah, thanks to all dare devils running around all reckless, I am sure it is a requirement now. I wonder if LMTV and MTVs has them or not.
What's interesting is that they took the time to install that light in the dash, but didn't spend 10 seconds and put one of those stickers on my tach
Please elaborate on what they are offering?
Your reply to the police officer, (in the link you posted above) explains why even if we went faster, at night we are still very hard to see and are still a target to so many distracted drivers, or drivers who just don't know what to do.
In Texas the speed limit is 10 mph less at dark and clearly posted as such, for darn good reason. We need that in Ohio with our deer population adding to the danger.
Thanks for that info. So with the converter locked up that's one very high gear ratio. Lot's of torque in these cummins to do that effortlessly.
would you even feel a deer in a 5 ton? lol
Exactly how I was looking at it!
Not to stir the pot but if you were doing 10mph faster he may not have had to swerve violently trying to miss your large,heavy difficult to see vehicle (your words) that you so proudly drive below the posted speed limit in the first place. I'm sure he was going faster than 70 (your stated speed +the 10mph you offered to speed up) anyhow and would have had an accident anyway, but if you were traveling 10mph faster you might have been farther down the rd by the time he got to that section and he could have found whatever he was reaching for with time to spare before coming up on you. Its a what if situation all the way around anyhow and I have seen people crash into stationary objects often enough to know that sometimes the accident is just going to happen even if your not involved. I drove my M923 at 65-70 and still had cars/rigs run up on the back of it from time to time, some people drive wayyyy to fast and it doesnt matter what you are driving or how fast you are going there will be someone going faster but at same time I try not to be a slow moving obstacle to people just trying to do the speed limit.
This is the company who has speed adaptors for all Allisons, he told me he could raise the speed of 6x6 HET for 30% from top 45mph to about 60, but after finding out HET M1070 does 1.3 mpg, I was like I need me a Saudi princess to marry one with whose dad got oil wells, then figured out wont happen, so got me a 927 if you like say hi to Dave there. He is a super nice guy but please value his time...
