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.

86Blazer327 is an unknown quantity at this point

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.
