[SEL] What kind of truck? Gas or Diesel

[Judge Tommy Turner]

I would certainly agree with you on this Peter.  The newest version of 
diesels probably have as many electronic "gizmos" as any gas though.  I was 
chatting with a mechanic yesterday that works for a trucking company.  He 
told me they could connect via the internet (and a subsequent satellite 
connection) and adjust the engine HP, idle speed, maximum mph, etc. while 
the trucks were on the road.  He said everything from a local 1 ton delivery 
to their biggest road tractors could be adjusted this way.  Really too high 
tech for me!
