Once I completed all the work I described in my Project thread, it ran great. The low gearing moves this 4000+ plus beast out with some quickness. Only two downsides: one, high RPMs at highway speeds (around 2900 rpm @ 65 mph), and two, it's a gas guzzler at about 10.5 mpg average. I don't get on the highway much. When I do, I stay at 65 or so.
I'm retired, so I don't need to commute to work. I wouldn't use something like this for commuting mostly because of the gas issue. I just drive this thing around town, go surfing, get groceries, etc. with light loads only (surfboards and so on). For that, it's one of the nicer vehicles I've ever owned. Solid, reliable, I can do my own maintenance, and no smog checks.
