Only 110MPH 5 Speed
On the 5 speed manual 12 valves you hit a top speed of about 110 MPG which will put you at an uncomfortable RPM at 80-85mph. I’m wondering how to get a little more out of my truck.. It has plenty of power to take a lower gearing. I was thinking a ring and pinion? 6 speed trany?

If you're trying to lower your cruising RPM...higher gears, or an aftermarket OD. A 6 speed won't do it!
If you're trying to go faster, a 3K or 4K governor spring kit will do the trick!

My dads stock 98 5 speed with go 100mph runnin for all shes worth. I have had mine to 105, and still pullin according to the speedo, but it is off probably 5mph or so since I have 285's, and it had 245's stock. An automatic will get you a lower rpm on the intersate. O/D in the auto is .69 to 1. Im only turning like 2k rpm's at 80mph.
