On a metaphysical level. In the dog world.

  So does that mean she got home last Tuesday?

    Yes, she would, but it would be seven times as fast in dog speed.

      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.

                  My speedometer is not accurate, most aren't. I barely use it 
on the road. There were many times on this trip 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?
