Doh! moment

lol, I drove mine for the first time in a few weeks, made it to the end of the sub in 4th gear before figuring out I was in low range.. I *was* a little sleepy..

Towerguy1's How to start in Low by mistake, But still look like a pro trick.....

Shift 1-5 as normal, Then return to 4th and shift transfer to High, then 5th again.

No one will ever know And you gained extra gears for those heavy loads.

I shift through the low range a lot. Trucks tend to be in low range anyways from backing in the barn. And it helps the heavy M108 get going. Also easier to use low range 2cd to start since it has synco's.

Yeah, that's the ticket, I was checking out my low range function.Now I feel better, this sometimers gets a little worse every year

 

[Dodge man]

Anybody else here ever put your transfer in low, forget about it, then take off down the road and wonder why you can't get over 25mph in 5th?

I actually drove deuces in the Army, I must be gettin old,

ROFL! I usually figure it out when my M-37 won't go over about 1 MPH in first gear!

I have pulled the hand throttle twice now to try and shut her down at night... not a great feeling.

I had to go outside last night to figure out the loud buzzer sound in the driveway. I turned the ignition of in the 818 but not the master. Once the air got low enough for the buzzer.... well.... I ran outside! I thought someone was stealing the truck! DOH!!!

Been there! . When I got my first truck took about five minutes to figure out why I was going so slow. Learning experience.
