Oh my, not that thread, that's why I sat this one out. Got into an argument last time. Don't want to do that again.

I'm confused..

No, you're driving too fast. Unless, of course, you don't care about your engine. In that case, you're doing just fine. ;=)

It's got all the info you need to make an informed decision, except for a discussion of towing speed.......

We didn't say anything, that's the beuty of it. You think someone would already know some of this stuff, since they are driving a truck.

That's worse than laughing at your own jokes man. We all know what was meant.... it's no fun when you come out and say it though
