top speed and mpg for M818?

[doghead]

Mine will do 70 loaded with 1600's and turbo kickin. MY truck also weights 23k empty.

yeah, the springs on a m818 are stiff if unloaded. I got a soft top because I got tired of pounding the hard top out with my head! Angie wouldn't even ride with me to Haspin, it was so bad. Rides ok with the empty tanker, rides really sweet with a loaded tanker.

You said that right Adam. I have no doubt that if I hadn't had my seatbelt on, I would have been launched through the roof more than once on my way home from SC.

The limit was the tires bouncing at over 53mph so bad that the cooler on the seat next to me was getting air.

Cooler getting air in an 818. Yeah, that's funny. Right Ferro?

About 52 mph is what I've had mine up to. It like 49 a bit better. I believe I get about 6-7 miles per gallon.

I love my M818, but it definitely does rattle your teeth out. It gets a bit better with a trailer, but not much. I destroyed my spring seat shock, broke a convoy light bulb, and knocked the shifter out of gear by hitting too big a bump in the industrial part of town at something like 14 mph.

since the OP's question was pretty much answered does anyone have the same info for a M818 on 395 tires but otherwise stock

My m818 without modification gets 6.3 miles per gallon, pulling an empty ten ton trailer. Speed with trailer is 55-56 mph on generally flat ground, slows to 50mph on hills that are not very steep or long.
