    So my truck has decided that top speed is now 73mph instead of the normal 76mph. Like was doing 75-76mph yesterday evening on the way home like it wasnt a thing. Leave the house this morning to go get loaded and once I finally got out to the east side of SA, I went to get it because I was rollin with 2 other empty flatbeds and the ##### won't run past 1580rpm. Normally it'll hit the limiter at 1640. It cuts fuel and the pedal goes dead.

    1st thought was that someone in the office might have set a speed limiter through the ELD, but Im not sure if that is possible. I even called and asked the vp if maybe someone slowed my truck down for a reason. He said no and that they cant do it remotely.

    Only thing I can come up with now is the speedo actually reads about 2-3mph fast, so 75 on gps is actually like 78 on the speedo. Now the speedo hits 75 and that's all she wrote. But how and why would it change all of a sudden? Cant figure it out.

    Speaking of large women though...

    My wife and I know this girl where we live, at the time when she got married, she was well north 350lbs. Anyways I guess the original plan was to have her delivered to the church in a horse drawn carriage. For some reason that didnt pan out...so instead, she was brought to the church on a flatbed tow truck :laughing1:.

    I’m guessing he didn’t carry her over the threshold that night…

    Being that he's 20 some yrs older than her, nah. Unless he used a forklift.
