[QUOTE="Geeze, post: 413870, member: 15843"] Ours cruises happily at 65 though knock that back to 60 when fully loaded as its getting on a bit :D It is one of those new fangled T4 lumps though :lol: I'm with the vote that says you don't need a mass of gauges if you're basically stock, though I would recommend one of the temperature dipsticks that make the oil light flicker, it gives a good warning that things are getting a bit warm before anything bad happens. As Alex says, a whole host of variables (mostly weather and load!) mean that what is usually a 'safe' speed may not be. Most budget end gauges (and cool old swapmeet finds) aren't really that accurate. They're fine if they're consistent though, (learn what normal looks like and check for that, don't worry about what it says 8) ). [/QUOTE]
