Cruising speed

I was cruising on a little trip this morning, and man does my truck ever like to cruise at 90 mph. Once I realized what speed i was going and slowed down to 65, it just didnt seem the same!

Best be careful... you just might have a car following you with alot of blue lights flashing !

Mine seems most comfortable at 74 indicated. Stock tires and gearing.

Dunno' why.

Mine runs its quietest at 80-85 mph, and like you said, it runs so sweet and smooth that you woudn't even know it if you didn't see everything flashing by so quick or see the speedo.
