I have touched 120 here on the autobahn with just a edge. It felt like it had more but my tires are only rated to 112 so I let off.:sigh:

That's probably smart. Our trucks are not the most perfectly designed aerodynamic masses, and I expect the control of them gets pretty squirrelly at those speeds.

On paper my truck is capable of 197 mph :3gears:

Longshot's chicken scratch handwriting on the back of an old Walmart receipt and a calculator

5600(max rpm) x 92.11(tire circumference in inches) x 60(minutes in an hour)
12(inches in a foot) x 5280(feet in a mile) x 3.55(diff. gear ratio) x .7 (O/D ratio)

=197
But I'll keep the secret of how to get there to myself :hehe:

Well crap! Since my Gear Ratio is higher, you're going to leave me in the dust! I guess it's what I get for buying a POS truck, eh? (Please have the martinis ready when I finally get there.)
