Do you have any transmission upgrades?
6 spd trans with South Bend that is suppose to be good up 400hp.

Then when it's time for the grades they lose speed forcing me to get into the left lane to pass their dumb buts @ 65mph. So that once we crest the hill they can fly past everyone who maintains the same speed going down as we do going up



Usually when a Ford passes me it's a one time thing cause they don't lose speed on the hills, or they have trailers that look under control and properly taken care of



That and I'm a cheapskate. Get my best mpg @ 62-65
Drop 1 full mpg per 5mph over that.


Just cause we can lay down more POWah with injectors and turbos doesn't mean our brakes magically improved with those speed gains. The new truck's with bigger better brakes and true exhaust brakes make towing faster safer for them than we can pretend to tell ourselves we are. If you've ever towed here in the Ozarks down a long 7 or 8% grade with 13k# on your tail 65mph is about all I feel our brakes could successfully do a panic stop on



I never get passed.
