I'm hearing you guys. Just busy and haven't been able to post much. Just starting a business and my wife is pregnant with our first and going through some rough spots. Not making excuses, just explaining why I've been slow to respond. Trying to finish a big order tonight so I can focus on...

I just responded to your PM and completely agree. I will revise it to completely remove that section. At most, I think it should say in the definitions that a military surplus motor vehicle is defined as a WHEELED vehicle that etc, etc. This will bring all former military vehicles under the...

The plate fee is their existing rate of $50 that already passed the House. For reference, this part of the law mirrors the Antique part of VA Code and the fee for that is $10 for lifetime tags. The amendment I added mentions that periodic registration fees would be required, which would make...

I have amended the bill and sent my amendments to SEMA. This is a rough draft. Parts that are REMOVED are underlined. My amendments are in bold, italicized, and enlarged. This is copied and pasted to share the same wording as existing antique vehicle law in the state of Virginia.

I'm also adding in our amendment the ability to display a single license plate on the rear instead of two, just like antique vehicles. :beer:

Just got off the phone with the legal department at SEMA. Sounded like a great guy. They had no idea there would be a backlash to this, and were just seeing that other states were doing similar things. I will be sending them my rough draft amendment to start a conversation. They will be on...

He is on the Transportation Subcommittee that will be hearing this bill on Wednesday. Will you support our amendment to this bill? Will you call him and say as much or go so far as to show up on 2/28 for that same purpose? His contact info...

In our version of the bill, you will be able to register a Military Vehicle in a similar fashion to an Antique vehicle with a one time registration fee and no annual inspection. But it won't force that limited use on everyone if they wish to opt for yearly registration fees and annual...

I have requested to speak with him on the issue. I haven't heard back yet, but I just found out about this bill today. My suspicion is that this delegate was approached by someone who only cares about parades and car shows, so the delegate thinks he's going the right thing. I want as many...

I'm trying to organize. Getting as many people as possible to show up to the VA Senate Subcommittee hearing on this that will be happening Wednesday 2/28. I plan on opposing the bill as written, but offering an amendment which I and it appears everyone else will support. I will propose...

Mine was never OFF ROAD USE ONLY. Are you saying you support this bill? Besides, this bill targets ALL MILITARY VEHICLES. Not HMMWVs. Regardless of what the summary says, the body of the bill is crystal clear about it.

THIS IS A HORRIBLE BILL. It classifies all military vehicles as OFF ROAD vehicles and allows extremely limited use of them. I will be going to the committee Senate hearing to voice my opposition to the bill unless it is amended. Military vehicles should be treated just like antique vehicles...

I'm here, but I'm the type of guy that's either working my *** off or hanging out with my wife. On good days both. So I don't know how many things I'll be able to attend. At the moment I'm starting a business, hopefully working towards making enough money to be able to pay other people to do...

We're on the same thought track. Thanks for being assuring! Confirmed on the STE/ICE. I thought I was going to have to take it for a drive, but it turned out that it gave me the issue right in Park. Using the RPM setting on my voltmeter, it gave consistent numbers at the STE/ICE while the...

Tachometer issue - I didn't remove the radio shelf and the dog house to look into the tachometer connections. Wiring diagrams confirm that the Mechanical Tach wires only feed to the STE/ICE port by the transfer case selector. I might hook up the RPM function of my voltmeter to that and leave...

I'm back at the shop today, so I'll be looking into this issue a bit and sharing findings.

I'm hoping these issues link to the same root cause, so I'm grouping them together. 6.5L GEP engine, 4L80E transmission. I have a tachometer that SOMETIMES acts like this as well as sometimes just pegging all the way at full RPM even though the engine is clearly not at that speed...

Just thought this was cool to see.

It was my understanding that it was a requirement. But if you didn't have it as original equipment you could make it switch operated. I may have read the requirement wrong because I knew I was going to put them on anyway. Personally, I'd highly recommend doing it even if not required by code...
