Speed limiter?
Had the truck up around 105mph, still a very smooth ride. Just wondering if there is a limit or not and if so is there a way around it.

Yes the limit is anywhere between 98 and 102 from what i understand, and the way around it is by getting a tuner/programmer.

Should be 98.9mph. I wonder how you got it to 105mph? A tuner/programmer will take the limiter off.

Get a Tuner like others have said. It can over ride the speed governor.

I've seen this alot.....

People saying they've gone 100 mph +, in stock trucks, but there is a speed limiter at 99 mph..... So I don't know what's going on there.
