I do not use my speed-o only my GPS! I recently went to Vegas and on the way there driving through the mountains on the AZ side of the Hoover dam the Disco struggled really bad (granted I had 4 adults and 2 children along with luggage for everyone in the back and on the roof) the cruise control would drop about 10 - 20 MPH below the set point going up some of those mountains! is this pretty common? or do you guys think I need a tune up? I know these trucks are heavy and under normal driving conditions it seems ok (however gas mileage was around 10 - 12 highway on that trip).

on a side note I did get her up to about 90 or so (GPS speed) on that trip and she was smooth as a baby's behind!!! (that's the fastest I have taken her)

I had a 1978 Chrysler Cordoba with a 318 and a 4BBL carb, round speed that topped out at 85 mph, I brought the needle past 85 and back around to 5 mph.
I was 18 and stupid...only the age has changed.
