Allison Transmission Retarder

[Gregory OConnor]

Dave, as a rule I never go down a grade any faster than the average
truck speed that is making the climb up. " The faster you can stop -
- the faster you can go" rule only applies when gravity is not a
expotential factor. I pray for the people in your path.
