62 MPH Deuce! This one is for you Kenny!

[Westech]

Well the GPS does not lie. I have had the truck up to 63 and she will hold it there, but 61 MPH is her sweet spot.
Stock trans, axles and 900 tires.

 

[SETOYOTA]

What RPM?

 

[madmanvillain]

AND left lane???????????

That sweet spot will soon turn into a greasy spot along the highway when your rods and engine componets are set free.

 

[islandguydon]

The main question is: At what RPM is the engine running to get the 62 mph..?

 

[swbradley1]

Cool, I like how you can't even see the 60-ton civi wrecker pushing you from behind.

Good pic though.

This is not my first deuce..... If you all remember 2007 East Cost Convoy and me passing the convoy at over 70 MPH in my deuce towing a M1008.
If your engine is "tuned" there will be no problem turning 2700 RPM all day long. My last LDT with a LDS pump I would turn 2900 RPM. And doing so for over 800 miles non stop (well one fuel stop but never shut the truck off)

It was a "trucks use left lane" zone.

Betcha your fuel economy goes further in the crapper at that speed.

 

[Westech]

I still get around 9-10 MPG.

Hey Boner, whats the big deal.

DH, I like that the GPS shows you driving a Tank....

i got mine to 65 once. i drove off the rim of a valley at 52 and put it neutral and got to 65 by the bottom. it was between Shreveport and Alexandria Louisiana. i bet if we dropped one from the space shuttle we could get 85 to 90 at least. oops, to late no more shuttles. that does sound like a "hold my beer and watch this" moment

 

[doghead]

Maybe you can find a Newbie to race...

How fast can you stop?

What was the speed limit?

What's your fuel?

Look out for that Church bus full of virgin nuns...

 

[gimpyrobb]

I thought you needed 88mph to get the flux capacitor to fire? 62mph is not enough! RENOB

 

[SETOYOTA]

The super deuce that goes 65 mph, gets 10 MPG and does it all day long up hill both ways rides again. Are you using WMO and cooking oil too

 

[doghead]

What was the big hurry? Is your local tattoo shop having a ONE DAY SALE?

 

[steelandcanvas]

RENOB

Haven't heard that in years!

 

[armytruck63]

Funny you should mention this - I saw a mile long streak of mystery fluid on the freeway this morning, and people were driving through it! By the smell, it was Diesel fuel and not engine oil. I never did find the truck it came from.

Moral of the day - do not streak on LA freeways!

 

[gimpyrobb]

I have the perfect link to post after that Armytruck63, just don't know jow to do it!
