Welcome to FTE!
Did this just start or has it been doing it as long as you've had it? Kind of sounds like it has a governor in it to limit top speed.
BTW, it would be helpful if you would include a bit more info, such as year model, engine, transmission, how many miles.

DEpending on the year ('01) you should be able to use a "tuner" to remove that pesky governer.. MY 92 E150 w/351 will run well over 120mph so unless yours is an ex-fleet truck then I'd be worried.

Current fleet truck, they are an embarressment to the name. Unfortunately, the only van that we have had that was fast was a dodge. Somebody pulled the govner er sumthin I spose,... but anyway that thing would get up and skit. I wish the fords(that we have) did that. lol
