I [font color=red]think[/font] that the newer ones shut down at 92 or 94 mph. Don't know first hand. That's just what people have told me. Insurance is high enough on these trucks without any tickets. Not to mention abslolute road carnage if you were to lose control. Worse yet, I can't stand the thought of damaging my baby. Or God forbid killing myself or other motorists.(Maybe one needs to be in control in order to lose it) I don't know about the older ones. However I think the chips that are available will overide that factory speed setting.

My truck cuts off right about 95 on the speedo. Seems as if it's turning about 2700 rpm there.
