I have been told that you should keep the top speed for a 1008 at 55mph.
The ex Motorpool sgt. said if you don't, you will start getting oil leaks
from the engine seals. Was he not correct? I know my engine screams over
55mph.

In case any of you boyz are wondering how much weight a M1008 will carry I
have some of the answer. I don't know how much it will carry but I do know
that it would be above 2.2 ton because I went and got a load of rock today
and I thought it was sitting a little lower than normal so I asked the woman

how much I was paying for and she said "Its right there on the certified
scales ticket 2.2 ton. I drove a little slower than normal and held it
below 60 because the steering wasn't in the best of condition.
