Author Topic: how fast can u go in your 22r (Read 6260 times)

AaronB · « **on:** Jun 22, 2006, 09:17:21 PM »

so i picked up an 82' longbed, it has about a 3"lift on some 33's, the motor has about 180k on the clock. I cannot get that thing past 55mph even on the flatest of ground

, know if there is a slight downhill and the wind is pushing from behind I can get it up to 65

How dose your guys's rigs run? is my motor tired or is this just normal. Also after I got the truck I changed the oil, plugs, cap and rotor, and wires thinking this might help it out a bit, but it still runs the same. What do you guys think?

you have 33's but did you change the gearing in the differentials?? you would need 4.88's

stay out of 5th gear, these engines like to rev up to 3500 before you shift and the sweet spot is around 3000

AaronB · « **Reply #2 on:** Jun 22, 2006, 09:27:00 PM »

no, it has stock gears. I cant even get it to go fast enough to put it in fifth.

i can get to about 25...maybe 26mph

I did 85mph down hill with 5.29's and 35's. 22r had about 280,000, but about 80,000 on the rebuild supposably. it could maybe do 70 on flatground at the most.

really!!! why?

eightyfive · « **Reply #6 on:** Jun 22, 2006, 09:40:37 PM »

i can pull it to 70 but it takes a while. remember, your going way faster than what the speedo says. if your going 60 on the speedo, your probably going past 70.

yeah I thought about that issue. But when im getting passed by 18wheelers, its going pretty slow.

eightyfive · « **Reply #8 on:** Jun 22, 2006, 09:46:37 PM »

here is what you do...drive up to the 18 wheeler, directly behind him, and at the last minute change lanes. it's like a sling-shot. drafting can save you money at the pump and allow you to go faster! serious...

to solve the problem, you have to swap in a 3rz.

AaronB · « **Reply #9 on:** Jun 22, 2006, 09:51:29 PM »

oh well i guess i shouldnt complain. it does run good and gets me where i need to go. Future plans will definately be a swap.

jimbo74 · « **Reply #10 on:** Jun 22, 2006, 10:24:17 PM »

i routinely go up to 90 mph..... i dont dare go faster just because im not allowed to get any mroe tickets..... and there really is no need to go 90 mph on a regular basis

4.10s and 31s

Hyena · « **Reply #11 on:** Jun 22, 2006, 10:45:04 PM »

A rebuilt engine will do just fine.

eightyfive · « **Reply #12 on:** Jun 22, 2006, 11:56:41 PM »

when i had 31s my runner kicked ass too....half my squirrels ran away when i put the 33s on.

Ramrod · « **Reply #13 on:** Jun 23, 2006, 12:01:51 AM »

I guess I drive a fast toyota

I wonder why. Hahaha. I can cruise all day on the freeway at 75-80 with a full load on the way to the trail. I've hit 90 and let off because my bent rims and 37's dont feel too good. I'm running 5.29s and 37" mtrs.

RustyToy · « **Reply #15 on:** Jun 23, 2006, 07:24:58 AM »

I'm always driving like 90 too. change your gears dude.

RTA · « **Reply #16 on:** Jun 23, 2006, 08:41:41 AM »

I can keep up with any freeway speeds 65-80 mph no problem MTR 35's with 5.29 gears.

AaronB · « **Reply #17 on:** Jun 23, 2006, 10:01:24 AM »

so with 33's or bigger tires i should get 5.29s or 4.88s

Shamb · « **Reply #18 on:** Jun 23, 2006, 10:54:17 AM »

when my truck had 37's, 5.29's and a old tired 22R with 290k on the ticker it would run 80 on the freeway no problem.

Although it would rattle my teeth out of my brain

BoG-ToY · « **Reply #19 on:** Jun 23, 2006, 11:30:48 AM »

Ive got efi....and an rv cam....I went 90 mph from california to florida with 500lbs of peoples in the front and touched to the bumpstops in the rear....had camper shell filled top to bottom with stuff.....but that the engine had only 15k miles on it......I dont know if you know anyone with machine shop, but engnbldr on ebay sells kits for somewhere around 200/250? get new valve guides if they are worn, can lean your engine....or put power robbing oil into your fuel mixture.........Oh yeah....Ive got 31s and 4.10s....

Ramrod · « **Reply #20 on:** Jun 23, 2006, 01:02:51 PM »

then engnbldr kit is for 143 hp that is what i'm running and like it. also a 2wd will be way faster than 4 and 4.88 are what you want for 33's

lilbuddy · « **Reply #21 on:** Jun 23, 2006, 01:08:52 PM »

My 81 22r with 37s and 5.29s i can cruise at 70 no problem, can go about 80-85 fastest on flat and have got it up to 101 going downhill.

BoG-ToY · « **Reply #22 on:** Jun 23, 2006, 06:21:18 PM »

ive had mine up to 108 I think but dont tell my wife....oh yeah...floridas roads suck.....so it was like coming on and off a train track at 100 mph.....it was really creapy

Tice · « **Reply #23 on:** Jun 23, 2006, 09:42:14 PM »

36's with 5.29's and 260,000 on the clock and I can do 85!!! Oh yeah, thats on the trailer behinid my Chevy though!!!!

But by it's self I can barely get to 50 on flat ground and I haven't used 5th gear in about 18 months!!!

MUDJUNKY · « **Reply #24 on:** Jun 23, 2006, 10:40:02 PM »

when i had 410's i could 70 in my 82 with 33's i got 488's now and i can hit 85

AaronB · « **Reply #25 on:** Jun 24, 2006, 12:37:57 AM »

87_Yotaman · « **Reply #26 on:** Jun 24, 2006, 06:52:24 AM »

I have stock gears and 265-75-16 procomp all terrains and it is everything I can do to get mine to go 65-70 and that is in fifth gear screaming. WHY???

Wermz84 · « **Reply #27 on:** Jun 24, 2006, 09:13:12 AM »

[Dr Evil Voice] One Million miles per Hour [/Dr Evil Voice]

When I bought the truck it had 3:80's in the rear and 31" tires.. It would take 5 min to get up to 60mph, but that thing would easily do 90. the truck would start shaking around 90 so I never tried going much faster. Of course the speedo only said 60..

Now I have 4:10s (to match the front, so I can wheel) on 30" tires and I easly cruze at 85 in fifth gear...

Dont forget the vacuum lines and check timing..

dont forget to feed and bathe the squirrels too...

Ramrod · « **Reply #29 on:** Jun 24, 2006, 11:38:59 AM »

65-75 maybe is your tops for a stock 22r 4x4 especially if your running bigger tires. anyone that says they can go faster is a liar or going downhill. Mine goes faster because I put alot of time and money so that it could do so
