Yeah that sounds pretty high for the speed, unless the speedometer is off. You could check it via GPS to verify the speed. If that speed is right then I wonder if it has been re-geared with a set of 4.56's. Doesn't really matter, I bet with a chip, intake, and exhaust that thing will pull whatever you need it to.

Ill check the speedo this afternoon. But ill say that it is correct. The speed limit on this road is 65 and everyone travels 70-75 and I was keep up with traffic.

On a side note I just discovered that the 120gl aux tank is full of fuel

That's good because if it has 4.56's and you're driving on the highway, you're gonna need it!!

Seriously though, that's close to $500 worth of fuel!

Nate the guy owns a backhoe service. I guess the fuel was for his equipment. Not sure if he forgot about the fuel or just didn't care.
