A good spotter and a buddy/wheeling partner with a well equipped/supplied truck also would be a good idea.

What are your rpm's like driving on the highway? i can do about 80mph at like 2000-2200. I always wondered how bad the gears switched the rpms.

I don't have a tach, so I can't tell what the exact RPMs are, but about an hour or two of highway driving at a time is all I can handle before I have to get out and walk around. Plus, my stereo's LOUD.

If your gears are howling then they arent set up correctly.

my ride's stiff (not as much since I got the '00 seats in, but still noticable) and I need an alignment on the front. It vibrates around 80. Plus, I'm a pretty tall guy, and my cruise is broken. Hafta get out and stretch.
