I'm sorry, I don't understand which motor you put in.replaced it with a v2203
Why would you ever go that fast on any road? We have at least one dumb kid a year air lifted because he totalled his Truck/Jeep going 40-50mph down our logging roads which are very well manicured and wide gravel roads. Last year one kid tagged our feller buncher around a corner.my truck handles my gravel roads just fine at 80 MPH. there are a few i have to slow down for due to ruts/holes, but theres a few that are better than a lot of our highways up here. so those i can run safely at 60-80 mph. i dont care if your truck gets squirly on your gravel roads. Mine doesnt.
IMO no difference.I was looking at this chart a few minutes ago, and if I read it correctly according to it the M50D is has a higher gear ration then the fm146 but only by a little bit right? how much difference would it make it I went back to the original m50d? sorry I don't know much about transmissions.
I agree with your and others sentiments. However I think that [gov. and insurance subsidized] we should be training new drivers on how to drive and handle their vehicles rather than give out speeding tickets. A one day course would do so much more to prevent accidents than any radar could hope to. You don't see radar on side roads such as what you're talking about.Why would you ever go that fast on any road?

The rest of them either take a tree pretty hard or roll over good on a corner. The ones we catch get boxed in with our unused equipment and we dont let the vehicle go for days sometimes. Be responsible your not always going to crash alone. You can easily take someone with you.
That really is the #1 reason driving has become so dangerous. Uneducated drivers whether it be not understanding the physics of how a vehicle performs or just no understanding of how the rules of the road play a major role in keeping traffic flowing and safe.I agree with your and others sentiments.

Personally I think speed limits are 20% too low around me.
