Keep governor in place.Dear Half-Mast, I am currently deployed in Iraq and drive a HMMWV HMMWV High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV is a trademark of AM General LLC; aka HUMVEE, also a trademark of AM General LLC) on a daily basis. When we come under attack, the engine governor in my vehicle will only allow me to go 55-60 mph. Trust me, that doesn't seem very fast in the middle of an ambush (language) AMBUSH - A language for linear programming problems in a materials processing and transportation network. ["AMBUSH - An Advanced Model Builder for Linear Programming", T.R. White et al, National Petroleum Refiners Assoc Comp Conf (Nov 1971)]. . Can you provide me instructions and a list of special tools needed to remove the governor? A little extra speed would be very appreciated. SPC 1. (business) SPC - Statistical Process Control.

J.R.T Removing the engine governor on your HMMWV is not a good idea. The engine governor is designed to help control engine speed and prevent engine runaway. Not only will removing the governor not result in higher speeds, but it will also damage the engine's bearings, piston rods, and pistons. It can also have a bad effect on belt-driven accessories such as the alternator alternator: see generator. alternator Source of direct electric current in modern vehicles for ignition, lights, fans, and other uses. The electric power is generated by an alternator mechanically coupled to the engine, with a rotor field coil , power steering power steering n.

A speed of 55-60 mph may seem slow when the bullets are flying, but it's a whole lot faster than a HMMWV that won't move at all. Half-Mast |
