Lillie would be traveling as fast as the bus.

  If Johnny drove his 1963 Sundial camper at 4000 RPM and has a 412 ring and 
pinion tranny with a straight axle kit (no RBGs) and his tires are P185/60 R15. 
How fast was Lillie, riding shotgun, going?

Uh, he's running a straight axle.  No redux boxes.

  Hence the backing off. It's late and I'm not going to go out and check my 
tires. They are slightly smaller than stock, but not radically. I have a 412 
ring and pinion tranny. So I don't know how fast I am going. I have a GPS that 
will tell me, but I lost a power cable and it won't work without it.

Slow down Denis.  Don't know how your gearing is set up with your tires,  But 
4,000 rpms should be about 80+.  That's too fast in a bus.

home that I looked down at the Speedo and it was all the way around and pushing 
on the "0" post. My reaction is to look at the tach and oil temp, and sure 
enough, it was at 220 (too hot) and over 4000 RPM. Tie to back off. And I could 
watch my oil temp go down.

That the oil temp stays the same (low) regardless of how fast you drive?

The trailer went home with the other Arkansas folks. Murray made every mile 
in spooky good shape. Wore headphones all the way home. the bus didn't make 
any strange and worrifle noises. the oil temp went high when I pushed and 
went down as soon as I backed off.

What more can you ask?
