mack mhe9 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Yes but running in 11th or direct at 60 mph you should be just under 1500 rpm. You should get killer fuel milage. Drive correctly of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikesbucketlistmack Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Wow, I wish mine was like that. I get a top speed of 53 MPH in the top 6th gear (overdrive) at 2100 RPM ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get a top speed of 53 MPH in the top 6th gear (overdrive) at 2100 RPM !its really quite useless unless you like high speed driving awards. i`d like a little more than 53 though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slpwlker Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 the ratio more then likely a direct or not a long legged od. Had an old swift truck I drove the boss took the lopro 22's off and put tall 24.5's the 13 wasn't direct but was an .86 od. to long a leg for it's own good. 90 bobtail flat out. Not due to reaching the top gear it didn't have enough ass to get past that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bts-4120 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 that tall of gearing you probley run out of motor before you do rpm's in the high hole and you will run out of clutch and drive shafts trying to get a load moving out of a field road 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freightrain Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 My B model has enough gear for 85 mph. Only way it will get there is off a cliff I have had it near 80 bobtail once.......on a few miles of level ground. Any kind of grade and it slows it right back down.

carlotpilot Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 I have turned this thing loose only once` one night in nevada I decided to see where it would go so on one long straight run with a little downgrade to it I ran the 90 mph,speedo.out of numbers and to a straight down position where it stuck` had to replace the speedo head when I got to vegas . from all the answers i have gotten here I think the( doubting thomas) is convinced that it will get into triple digits thanks for all the comments guys.
