Thanks, guys. I am starting to suspect the "highway gear" axle was the smartest option that I picked on this truck. 185k miles and still running strong. And tonight I discovered that I had about ten feet of landscape edging in the shed leftover from another project...

The truck needs some serious aero mods. I have noticed that it requires a rather steep downhill grade to coast and maintain highway speed. 60mph seems to be my "stall" speed even on slight grades. I'm still running 235/60R16 tires as well, not sure if a smaller patch on the road would help as well.
