Just wanted everyone to no that our speed limit has risen to 70 mph!
Thats the good news

Our state troopers have new cars Dodge Chargers un marked with limo tinted windows, All that I have seen are Dark blue,dark green and black also the black wheels are a dead giveaway.

Keep it safe on I-75 south when you cross the state line and the I-64 between Louisville and Lexington.

better safe than sorry

Thats the good news Only 70? Even the country of Kalifoornia has 70 in most places. Most of Arizona is 75.

I guess that's better than the ol' double-nickel though.

In WI its still 65 but they don't pull you over if under 75 so most people drive 74!

Just FYI, but with 3.73's and the stock ECU+T5, you're best bet is to run just a shade under 70mph to remain in closed loop.

28mpg through the Sierra Nevada range from sea level to 7000+ ft and back down, yahoo!

Last reunion I went to we got 26 cruising like I said! I'm happy with that! SVOpony and I pulled into the gas stop and pumped exactly the same to the penny-the cashier said she which one is yours we said does it matter? She had never seen this before!

Well since the peak torque for my F-250 is right about 80MPH...

I wouldn't think of it...

I had to keep the cruise set on 80 just so I wouldn't go any faster on my return trip with the 7B.

It does like to pull and it is very difficult to go slow.

I like my truck :woot:

I dunno if my bravda is going to do 70 pulling the SVO. We're going to find out though.

Oh and in the sticks of texas 75 is the norm....... Ky has always been weird with its speed limits. I lived at Ft campbell for 5 years and never understood it. Especially on base where getting a ticket on base actually depended on which side of stateline you were on.

I can get to 85 if "She" sleeping.
No problem with the L. Just short wheel base.
