He's in W-S near me Ken... unless the "elves" fixed it last night, I think he walked away *before* pitching a hammer at it!

It doesn't take an alert mind long to know it is time to switch tanks, when you feel the truck begin to jump out from under itself.

I always wondered why they didn't come up with a way to have that power all the time.

So BK, I take it this "symptom" does NOT appear in the CTD's?

Agreed! TDS is full of folks asking *how* to make this happen in a controlled fashion!

Something must happen with the timing on the IH motors. Our trucks lose power and/or die.
