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!

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.
