Bigdaddy you are wise beyond your years.... Just keep in mind those high rollers on the autobahn have full time mechanics who sole jobs are to maintain those vehicles at the same level as a helicopters would be maintained. IMHO, to run a truck at extreme high speeds is just plain nuts. Good luck ....

Don't be scared or do you think it will scare off anyone who want to race you

You are probably the only smart on here. There is no reason to go any faster than that, other than because I can

If I want to go over 100mph the truck is not the tool. Plus in RI we rank in the top 5 for speeding tickets and it is not because we speed. 12 over and you get a ticket. And a 20 min drive will yield about 3 cops on the side of the road.

But about 90mph for me which happens on the rare occasion when I am doing 85 on the highway and then encounter a down grade.
