what gears do you have in that thing :confused:

3.73s in my F350 are limited at 95 mph :( Damnit..

I say punch it!! I firewall it all the time when towing.. just plan on going through whatever gets in your way rather than stopping or going around! :D :D :D

It's a 2001 Cummins 6 spd. towing a Haulmark enclosed trailer with a rig, a 4x4 quad, rollaway tool box, gear, etc.

04-30-2002, 02:53 PM
Bingo!! And with the HO 6 speed they can go another 10-15 MPH but I wouldn't know anything about that officer!! :D

Please tell me it has an EGT gauge. Or that you didn't pull any hills or maintain that speed for long!! Or it's modded. :)

the stock dodge can take that all day and go a good bit faster. my chevy will do it no problem. but it will cost about a dollar a minute with the 454 and 4.10s with no o.d.

Just turn the brake controller up to just shy of locking up the tires and haul ass. That Haulmark will stop you.

Which Haulmark was it, and what rig did you have in it?

Don't you just love passing cars towing uphill at 85 MPH in your Cummins? My 2000 Cummins with a 6 speed will pull any hill without any problems. Last dyno run, I did 302 HP and 670 ft/lb of torque at the rear wheels. Let's just say I've got some goodies to make the engine run better than stock.... ;) ;) ;)

Hey get a CHIP and you can say goodbye to the limiter. I have a F250 with 3.73 and the 6 Speed and well it just runs better in the tripple digest :flipoff2: :flipoff2:

Thank god the summit of Donner was fogged in or else I would have gotten a ticket rather than the bitching at for going to fast by the locoal trooper :flipoff2:

Nope not fast enough. The trailer tires didn't melt causing you to swerve violently and taking out an entire family in the process.

Good thing no troopers saw you, my guess is they would have locked you up and impounded your shit.

Too bad all the boopers on this website are going to see this and think damn it's cool to drive 5 tons barrelling down the highway at near out of control speeds.

actually its closer to 8 tons.... if ya count the weight of the rig too... :D

now as far as fools seeing this as cool or whatever..... there is a time and place for everything.... i wouldnt be doin those speeds on an acess highway, nor in heavy traffic..... but when on a restricted access highway, with minimal traffic 85 mph cruising speed is not that all bad.... my truck stops great with those trailer brakes.... i would rather see Lance doin 100mph than riding the tail of a vehicle doin 65..... this is where most accidents happen (following too close) the pic i took was for fun... it was a brief section, then i slowed her back down to 75-80.... :D

ohh crap my bad, i am at work and on one of the computer monitors all you see is the rig on that trailer and not the tow rig so it looks like it is sitting still.. but i am on another one now and can see the tow rig and all.... b4 it just looked like there was a truck sitting there and all... sorry, my apoligies...

lol yeahh you can loose things at that speed.... in a full tuck at 170 its not a good idea to just sit up, hell even siting up at 120 is pretty forcefull on ya.... sort of like a wind break...lol

Passing Silverthorn in Co about to start up 13 miles of 6% slope when no one is around I hit the bottom of the hill bumping my governor on my pickup at 99MPH. If no one is around it feels just like pulling at 80 like I always do.

Too fast:confused:

How about with no enclosed, or other stuff in/on trailer other than the Jeep, but with the camper on? Saw just slightly over a hundred. That actually was scary. I was passing a motorhome that decided to speed up as I passed on the way to Moab. My pumped 454 dually passes lot's of stuff except gas stations. Especially at those speeds.
