I'm actively trying to talk my friend into letting me borrow his 24" wheels off his SuperDuty, purely for the tire speed rating. My clodhoppers are rated for a blistering 93mph (which they have exceeded many many times), and his are some ridiculous $800/ea things that exceed that by quite a bit.

This damn thing is GOING to break 130mph, and it will glorious.

I didn't want to wake them....I figured if the sound of the truck pulling up to the house did wake up the house, then they really needed the sleep.

I'm glad you guys came out to the show later though, it is always great to meet new people. You are the first I have met from the boards so far.

Take all the time you need buddy, just remember the 38R and T500 are coming shortly to complement the stage 3 hybrid 238/80 injector's that're in the rig now.

Get the speedo needle to "R" that means race.

I tried to run 8K tow as a daily and couldn't stand it! It's a great tow tune, hauled 12K with it and my 6.0 almost seemed like it was hungry for more weight.

I had to go back to SRL+ and

Btw, what's your strategy and what are you averaging?

Finally got my second key programmed with AE. I had been trying to do it through the powerstroke 7.3 setting and clicking on enhanced power train then pats. Apparently, I had to select excursion (gas) then I could select the pats module itself. Everything worked perfectly after that.

Ok, so get the needle to "R" and then slam the shifter into "Race gear"? Off to give it a shot now... should I just slam it into "R" or push the brake in a little first? Do I wait until I top out or right before redline? Is this "Race gear" like an over-drive for the over-drive? Screw it, I'll figure it out. 130MPH here I come!!!!
