156km/hour (97mph!) clocked by the local police radar and that's with a 160kmile 6.2 diesel blazer. Well after that stunt i didn't have to drive for a while

Do you guys still have that floating feeling when driving fast? Can this be fixed?

My BBC has been 7800rpms with 3.42 gear and 28" tall tires.
Don't know if I will peg my new speedo or not, but I will know for sure next time.

Chris are you going to mount your gauges like Mike or like Tom and Eddie in front of the bezel?

Well, It will look like Mike's, but not mounted the same, thinking global.
I had to send the Speedo and Tach back. The speedo face was cracked, and they sent the wrong tach.

Global? That sucks about the gauges not being right and broke.

CaptKaos,
If you do try to bury that speedo needle when you get it in please don't point the truck North West when doing it. We live too close and I don't want you hitting my truck when it goes out of control !!! LOL LOL |
