Of course that was in 4th gear tho, I tried 5th and it held for about 5 seconds then slowed down on its own.

Yes there's a rev limiter. The rev limiter and speed limiter feel different. The rev just puts a halt to the engine rpms advancing. The speed limiter makes the truck shutter some how. Like it starts cutting the fuel off or something. I dont have a problem with being able to reach the speed limiter at all.

Mine toped out at around 96ish.
I think it shutters because it starts messing with injection, and ends up sending random ammounts of fuel through them. it also messes with the tb.
Hey matt, did you have to throw the spare off before you managed to get it up there?
As for blowouts at that speed, atleast it's a light truck. the dodge would rip your arms off it you hold it too tight.
