Ha I call B~~~ S*** on that. You must have either someone towing or pushing you.
I have driven over 150 D II's and never seen that mileage consistently.
Sorry, I'll take it out of my sig. I can understand how it looks like hubris

I don't go over 70 but I went 95 once and it was smooth and with no vibrations or rattles.

There is a stretch of E I-10 just outside of Beaumont, TX going into Lake Charles, LA where they recently raised the speed-limit to 75 MPH. After I replaced my rotoflex a few months ago, we decided to take a road trip to the casinos to make sure all is well...brought her up to 105 following a BMW 760 Li V-12 with FL plates and a radar detector...felt great, no more vibrations, but the gas needle was dropping like a rock in a pond and the wife was screaming slow down!

With stock tires and suspension? I'd say 105, but it wasn't the most comfortable 105 I've ever done. With current setup, I have done 83 once, I thought if I turned at all I would roll over and die a horrible death.

About 115-ish or so. Smooth as can be surprisingly.

I've gone maybe 90 once. I don't go past 65 or 70 mph anymore.

Since mine is completely stock, aside from a dynamic driveline front drive shaft, It's seen 100 once or twice in its younger days, but now I keep it around 65-75 on the highways. Sometimes I'll hit 80 and it's smooth but why bother?

Holy ****, while your truck was modified? I bet wind noise was pretty insane, haha. Not to mention top heavy
