That was my first time taking it off the "back roads" and up to speed on the main routes. I was amazed by the accelleration, I didn't expect that. When I fist looked at the GPS it showed 78 MPH. That's when I started to feel a little shake in the front end so I backed off to 75 and "speed racer" pulled away. I guess having a dump truck that can keep pace with a sports car is the point where I can claim success.
My next task is to find a Mitchell overdrive unit to put in place of the carrier bearing to bring the RPMs down to a comfortable level for a diesel. Albeit, I'll lose some of that sports car feel, but right now I start out in 2nd becasue 1st is too low.
