So you're agreeing with me I'm confused on what point you're trying to make

You edited your post to include even more irrelevant info

Trying to teach you to read

This is also explaining it's a non independent suspension but superior to the live axle are you not reading this or what is going on

Live/Dead axle is Jeep

De dion is the bottom picture and is definitely something else.

Doesn't matter if it's superior or not, you don't have one.

Yes I never said that I did IDK what you're getting at lol

I set the cruise on 85 mph driving across South Dakota, 300+ miles of 80 mph speed limit interstate. I'd probably sell it if I couldn't drive it like that. The 70 mph roads here are usually flowing 80.

As @Woodrow said mine seems to be governed in the mid 90's, you can hold it to the floor and it won't accelerate.

I don't need to go that fast in something that weighs 25K lbs... I've learned when to slow down & as stated I don't want to pay the fuel bill just to go that fast... Yes I KNOW what the speed limits are in most western states and YEP I've driven that fast when I wasn't paying the fuel bill. Or when I was on my bike.. But even then my MPG went down a huge amount... I'll get there when I get there.

The best MPGs I've ever gotten in my jeep is running high RPMs going really fast on the way to Moab!!

Must be the down hill side.

Sorry to be that guy but the first sentence on that page says "A de Dion axle is a form of non-independent automobile suspension."

Center section stays in place, wheels act together like a live axle. So not independent wheel motion but definitely not a live axle.

Weird concept.

I was talking about the Jeep. But I get it, old people tend to drive slow.

My best milage has always been in the mountains. I don't know why.

Most of the country is downhill from my house....

Lol although that was before I moved out here.

Wonder who you'll do now with the regear?

Yep I'm old but nope I don't drive slow a lot of the time.. But I've learned when to slow down... Call it what you want.

Weird! Maybe it's because you run a higher RPM for the extra power and it's more efficient? IDK why
that would be

It's going to look better no matter what because I'm getting the speed healer it'd be REALLY good if I didn't use that now that it reads high...

Top speed Basket … 125mph

Top speed Basket … 125mph

That's like 42RPM below the rev limiter with the new gears

No idea. I noticed it many years ago and that this was on round trips so the ups and downs would equal out.
