    What is the fastest you have ever driven on the highway (mph)?

    I was a lot younger (and stupider) back then, and in much better shape. This was on a 12 speed aluminum frame Kabuki, pedaling like a madman, on a very long (about 4 miles) grade that I think was about 12%. I remember there was a Mexican restaurant at the bottom, with a sand and gravel parking...

    What are your summer vacation plans?

    Yep, that it is. A friend I have on another truck forum is also from up that way. He's the plant manager for Buck. In any case, all vacation plans are canceled. My wife's father passed away yesterday in Lewiston and we had to scramble to borrow money to get her home for the funeral. Paying...

    What are your summer vacation plans?

    It's a money issue though. No way to get both of us out there at this point.

    Where would the total hours number be coming from? My truck doesn't have an hour meter.

    Can the 6.5 pull 12,000lbs?

    I've done 15-16k combined with mine and had no problems with power, but that's about as high as I'd want to go with it.
