Speed governor?

Do our trucks have one? My truck seems to hit a wall at about 100 mph and 2600 rpm. Not that I've tried it or anything...

There's a speed limiter that defuel's around 94mph. Jody's tunes, and other programmer/tuners get rid of it.

If your speedometer goes to 100, once you pass it, the needle drops to 0. I was still accelerating on 80E...

There was a thread going on about this a while ago. Apparently it only happens on trucks with the digital odometer, IIRC. Its amazing how steady these trucks are at theses speeds.

My speedo goes to 100 but it's off a bit due to the tires on there, so I was SWAG'ing on the 100 mph. I agree though- it drove as nice at that speed as at 35!

On my 99.5 the speedo keeps on wrapping around. I think I was around 110mph that time I was running from an IRATE trucker I had accidentally made extremely aggravated. The truck was still winding up, but that was fast enough to get out of sight.
