I finally got my truck out on the highway. I did a short stretch about 2 miles between exits. I think I could have done a little better if I gave it a little more time with my foot on the floor.

The road was pretty flat and I got 56 MPH out of the 3/4 ton with 4:57 gears. I have larger than stock tires so I used my GPS to track the speed. It tells me my speedometer is off by about 5MPH depending on the speed.

I hope to swap out the differential for a 4:10 soon and get a front end alignment. Then I think she will be "modern" road worthy.
