I think I need to get rid of the dual exhaust! That may make running those RPMs more tollerable. I guess I will have to get used to it. I drove my 73 vw to work today and without a tach, there is no telling how high the rpms were, but I just kept my foot in it without concern. Just what you get used to. I sure do like the truck and hate to think of getting something newer and more complicated.
Thanks for all the replies, everyone stayed on topic and not once did someone tell me to get a different truck or try to convince me that I should have got the cummins.
