    On a hill in AZ that was straight down with miles of straight road at bottom of hill I let her go to see how fast she'd go...She got to 96 in neutral, according to Rand...That was the one and only time I will ever do that, scared the #### out of me...It was a dumb idea...

    According to your profile, you are 48. You should have tried that at half your age, you were braver then! I know I was.

    Tell him to look down the side of those hills to see other idiots that tried to go 100 down the hill.. Best to tell him that he is reckless and should not be in a truck and to grow up.

    I remember when a guy who only had a 100mph truck better have a BIG radio 'cause it wouldn't be long until everybody ran off and left him. :biggrin_2559:

    Very true lol a.k.a. "Arkansas Overdrive". And hell trucks will run 100+ had mine at 103 on 36 in ks. Now that aas bob tailing i woulnt push anything over 80 pulling a trailer. And the only reason i was running 103 was becaise id just bought the truck hit an open strech and wanted to see what shed do.
