Winner! Colin

Your books have some good info.

I always thought they would be a zippy little truck but with 6.3 diffs they would have been turtles. Probably sound like you were doing a thousand miles an hour until a kid on a bicycle passed you.

2,500rpm is starting to flog a Dodge engine for sustained highway running although they will do more. At that speed they will be sitting on 40mph according to my calculator. I know there are people who have driven their Dodges at 9,000rpm for a million miles and never had a problem but my experience puts me at 2,500rpm safe.
