Yeah, I do seem to remember some high speed highways when I was in Texas. Although 85 is the limit it is still legal to drive a little slower in the right hand lane, right?

Anyway, if you do build your truck to dive 85+ on the highway, please also upgrade your braking system, suspension system and steering system so that they will be safe at those speeds. GM engineers designed these trucks to be driven at about 60mph or so on the highways in the 60s.
