Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) How do you drive?

[Turbo Trucker]

I run around 70 constantly - while pulling 15k pounds.

I am with some of you. With the fuel prices being so high, I typically can be seen going the speed limit or just over the speed limit. Ocassionally I'll get a hair up my *ss and open it up to clear out the exhaust. Like last night I had a Honda Civic pulling one of those small Uhaul wagons that was coming up behind me on the mountain kind of fast. I wasn't about to be embarrassed and let that happen. I gladly left him by on the flats, but couldn't even think about letting him get me on the mountain.

? For Charlan

Sorry to interject and go off topic but I just had a question for Charlan.



Am I missing something? How do you get a #10 plate to 5x5? Aren't we talking about different bombs here? Just wondering. Something new?

But I try to drive fairly nice but the truck has 193K on it and no problems that weren't self induced, (mainly headgaskets) oil pressure still steady at 40 psi. at idle even after a long run. But I have been known to do some racing. I wouldn't worry too much about rpm limit, with what these motors will turn to, stock govenor doesn't seem so bad.
