Frank,
Not to swell your head too much but your advise from experience, is exactly what I've been after. I cannot agree anymore than what you have said. I feel pretty safe at 2k+ rpm especially with 16x7.50 tires. I would have a problem (maybe even lose some sleep) if I ran my truck at 2.5k rpm's. It's all in the sound. My 235 has been extremely faithful to me for the past few years just due to me listening to her. Now that I've installed a tach, I now visually know when to back off.

I truly appreciate your comments.
