Here's a question for you 06 guys, what does a 5 speed run for RPM at 80?

Not trying to rub it in, just never drove one

I run about 3150 on my 06 UC at 80. One of the many things about west Texas is that the speel limit on some of the rual interstates is 80 wheeeeeee

About 3150-3200 at 80mph. I run at 2900 doing 70. As for filling that hole where the gauge goes, I would get a clear glass case that contains mexican jumping beans so you can have a matching rattle noise
