Working on the purchase of an Oshkosh M1070. Getting all my questions answered thanks to many replys from this forum. About to make the jump. Just drove one. Perfect with one caveat. 45 mph max. I made the mistake of assuming it was a limit for safety reasons when pulling the heavy loads. My use will never pull any loads. I will be revolving the 5th wheel. I assumed I could run 55 as a bare tractor and be ok. Did NOT realize the 45 is governor controlled. Sure enough, it peaked at 45 and 2080 rpm. I dont need 55 a lot actually but the occasional interstate route would be handy. SO -
Can anyone suggest a work around? Re-programming, fooling the governor, etc. ? Dont want tear anything up but??? During my test drive I got passed by an Amish buggy. Any ideas or experiences shared will be much appreciated. Thanks again. JphOshkosh
