Has anyone notice that, in 1st gear (auto), the tach swings a
couple hundred beyond redline? Doesn't do it in 2nd, shifts
on the mark, and 3rd gets chopped a few hundred BEFORE
redline.
What's up with that?
Yes, Jules, I know..."Get the MP SBEC to solve that
problem!"

Momma's 95 Ram Wagon (1500 lbs or so heavier) got 14.5.

Fords are almost as much fun as the plague of the road around here, Toyota
4x4's, they all think they're the fastest thing on 4 wheels.
Just got some tires for my Dakota, Michelin LTX M/S, which as far as I can
figure is almost identical to the Michelin Radial XLT4 that Sears sells
and the X Radial LT that Costco sells. The LTX's come in most common
truck sizes, are quiet, stick in the rain well, and from the reports I've
heard from the skiers are good in the snow too. They are good on dry
pavement too.
