so, i don't have a tach and I don't really know where my redline is for each gear...

the highest ive gone in 1st is 20, highest in 2nd is 35, highest in 3rd is 50, 4th is 70, and 5th is 100

i just wanna know what speed is considered potentially dangerous / redlining to know when i need to back off or if i got some more room for error...

(i judge revs by the vibration of the gas pedal btw )

 

Um thats about right for my truck as well.

I have a tack at about 20mph in first i think im close to 4K
40 mph in 2nd is close to 4k
Actually i think thats about the same for all gears, as far as being near 4k

Couldn't tell you on the 70mph my truck has never seen 4th gear at that speed and same for 5th, never done 100 in mine...

You could always add a tach or do an sr5 guage swap.

 

im planing on adding a tach, as soon as i find a nice retro one for a reasonable price (IMO)

 

If you hear a loud pop you revv'd too high.

 

oops....

 

MAN!! YOU MUST HAVE A CRAZY FAST TRUCK! i couldnt reach 95 in 5th even when i still had 235/75 tires on it!...i could reach 96 in 4th though ....
When the clutch was going out on my '93, I would rev it up to like 5K easily in all the gears...I got to 45 in second...thats all I remember...

oh...you have a 2wd..so ya you can probably reach 100...also I was being sarcastic about you having a really fast truck

 

I regret the day I bought a tach


Foot to the floor...LOL

 

lol...

its fast till i reach 25 and the lexus blows past me...

i should just put a massive v16 engine in the back and link it directly to my rear axle

then my shell will be of some use

 

so you have a 2.4 slow haha. i can accelerate on a flat rd doing 35+miles per hour in 5th pretty easily but i have a 3.0 tho. Nice going 91Toyota rippin it at that rpm lol.

 

I could do that too I never tried it though...thats just stupid...ouchy..poor yota
I dont care that my yota is slow..I like it

 

but yota trucks were built for speed...?

we can go 60 for 300k miles...

other trucks go 60 for 100k miles

WOOT, 120k more mph!!!!!!

 

Since when were our trucks built for speed?

If they were built for speed I dont think Toyota would have put a 112hp engine in a 3800lb truck (4wd)

 

we can go the same (probably slower) speed longer to make up for it

 

sarcasim.

I could do 5th gear under 35mph....
and at like 1600 rpms too.

But thats on 32's with 5.29's

 

i can start in 3rd with my stock 2wd, its just really bumpy til 20mph

 

i can start in 5th. in 4lo.



This is soo stupid, who cares? lmao

 

its "lets brag about our slow cars and pretend they are hotrods thread"

im actually way jellous of most peoples rigs cuz they spent so much time making them perfect. I just wish i had boatloads of money.

 

Don't have to have boatloads of money.

Just spend what ya got!

dude if my rig was still stock i would either have a bunch of money in the bank or i would have spent it on stupid stuff and still be broke!

Lol

 

I can start out from a stop in 6th gear


oh wait...thats reverse...

 

LOL good one. My friend driving my truck tried to shift into 6th at 65mph.


Note: the shifter won't actually go into reverse at that speed- there are no synchros for reverse and the difference in speed between the collar and the splines so they will not engage- just grind.
