The truck may be capable of going that fast, but just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Actually, you really shouldn't. Please don't. It's really, really, really not safe.

I offered to send you an email from my college issued email, which would prove that I am college age. I haven't gotten any PM's. Did you want a copy of my driver's license and social security number?
As for asking the same question over and over for the past three years, no, I actually haven't...
As long as the solenoid can apply the required amount of force and you can seal it up so it doesn't corrode, it should work fine. Just make sure you get the right type. They have them that have a spring return in one direction, so they don't apply force in both directions.

I'm definitely leaning towards a private sale now that I've read up on some of the info on the GL website. It really sounds like a lot more trouble than it's worth for someone in my situation. I want to learn how to fix these trucks and keep them running, but not on the side of I-90.
So, in regards to the original question, basically what I'm hearing is:
- GL sucks because there is a 1 in 4 chance of getting a truck with something seriously wrong with it. I take it when you go to "preview" the trucks at auction you don't get to start them up and run down everyone else on...
A very clean looking truck you have there! Very nice job. Did you do the roll-on bed liner? I've heard mixed reviews of it and am wondering how it is holding up.
You're right. I really should test drive one first, I just don't know anyone that has one. I guy in my neighborhood used to have one parked in front of his house from time to time, but I haven't seen it in a while and I would feel weird just calling and asking to drive his truck :/ .
1. Buy some books. Your college education is the best single investment you will ever make.
My budget will be based on what I make minus $2k for books (I spent $1500 on books between fall and spring semesters) and minus money for gas and other expenses.
2. Forget about the deuce. A few more...
