New Diesel owner, any helpful advice?

[tonym81]

I bought a 95 chevy cheyenne 3500 dually flat deck with a 6.2 L turbo diesel for work.

I never owned a Diesel but I had a gas truck before and it drives and seems very new and different to me.

I was wondering if I can get some good advice as I know next to nothing about it, like how to drive it and such.

I noticed that on the highway I can't get past 110 km/hr is this normal for a diesel truck of this size? the end of the accelerator has no power left it maxes out, but in the city it runs good, it revs high though alot, is this normal?

Your max speed issue may be related to gear ratio and engine power in such a large truck.
