What did you do to your truck today?

[Texas Jim]

Never had my truck over 70 or 75.

I have never had the Caddy over 144...
Was gonna see how fast it would go one day, but quickly ran out of room and had to slow back down...

I had my Ram to a little over 105 the first week I had it.......I regularly cruise the interstate at 80-85 and speed up to pass.

My wife used to have a Grand Am GT, and the speedo went to 150.........I decided to try it out one time on a long, straight stretch of road and found out the limiter was at 149........felt like the car was going to float right off the side of the road, but I hit the limiter.

One of these days I will open it up...
Don't have any roads around here where you can do it halfway safely anymore..
Too much dang traffic.

The New Mexico stretch of highway 380 from Hondo to I-25 has recently been repaved.
They did a great job on it. It is smooth as silk.
We were out there last year and I wanted to get to Socorro to spend the night.
After you come thru Carizzo...it is mostly STRAIGHT as can be for miles and miles.
You can see a car meeting you 5 miles away.

Darling Wife had leaned the seat back and was taking a nap...
I gradually increased the speed till I was cruising at about 135...of course, slowing down when meeting the occasional car. Cars were few and far between.
Been going along like that for about a half hour and Darling Wife wakes up, looks over at the speedometer and asks me
"Do you know how fast you are going?"..
I answered "Yes" ..
She laid her head back down and dozed off back to sleep..

Didn't take long to get to I-25..

Took it to the shop to get the #5 coil replaced. It turn out to be a bad wire going to the coil so the coil was ok.

Saw that diesel had gone up 5 cents at one of the two stations near me that usually compete with each other on the prices... So I pulled into the other one and filled up before their price went up too.

$81.00 later the truck has a full belly.

Glad you got it fixed...
A wire is a lot cheaper than a coil..

The only problem is, it don't last very long...

The stretch between Vaughn and Ft Sumner is pretty rural and you almost never see a hwy patrol out there, so I tend to get a little lax paying attention to speed sometimes. Was driving through there a couple years ago in my Silverado and it started cutting out all of a sudden. I thought "what the hell is wrong with this POS?" Then I looked down and realized I was just bumping the limiter.......

Drove them both.

I know that road...
I bumped the limiter in the Caddy quite a few times before Justin raised the limiter.
Factory setting is 123mph...it was easy to hit that sometimes when passing more than one car...
It is now at 180...and I know the car won't do over about 155.

Drove it to work today.

Going to set my beer on it while I wax the car.
