Yea, and dropping the hammer on a lifted truck running 80-90 mph is the smartest thing to do

 

i dont have the truck yet thats why i was asking.

 

Dont the speedo only go to 85 on a '82?

 

I laugh at the fact that the speedo shows 110 as the max. When I'm barreling down I-80, I can get her to go 90, but she screams at me, so I keep it between 75-80.

 

i really dont care exactly what the top speed is i just need it to be able to go at least 80 mph. Why is it that everyones answer is different lol?

 

Lol everyones truck has different mods, tires, mileage, everything.

I've got my 89' up to 105 with the 30" tires and the 33" bfg M/t's... (corrected)
I could have gone faster but ran out of highway... by the way this was downhill....
It'll cruise at 90mph just nice.... but i raaaarely do that, like once a year maybe....
My 99'? i hit 100 and it could have EASILY kept going but i let off... i think the limiter is around 107 anyways... that thing will annihalate my 89 on the highway....

 

i live in so cal and daily drive into the palm springs area on i-10 and my truck see's anywhere from about 80 to about 95 ish smooth and quiet, and thats goin with the flow of traffic, i really dont care to go that fast in an 85 4x4 without power steering but i have to due to traffic, i feel my tuck could easily reach 110ish sure the rpms are high but my foot aint that low, although i only get about 15mpg on the best day and 12 regularly, ( i have a very heavy foot )
