Nope, don't have slicks for it yet. I'm not going to get slicks until i get my Detroit put in.. I'm concidering switching to 3.73's, but i think 3.55's is where i need to be(top speed currently is 137mph @ 3500 RPM), but 3.73s would let me accelerate a little quicker and i could always run it up to 4000 RPM to get my speed back or a Gear Vendors.

Doesn't anybody know how to bypass the speed limiter?
My '03 ram has a speed limiter, but all you have to do to bypass it is turn the key to the start position and hold it there. It requires driving with one hand on the wheel, but it can be bypassed anytime you want.

Can't argue with that, but there's something about finding out how to over ride certain parts of the stock programming on your own.

I had a 1999 dodge v10 and got a 2005 f-350 6.0L dually and the 6.0L beats out the v10 almost any way you compare them. diesel fuel costs more but the v10 uses more gas. the diesel lasts longer and oil costs more in the diesel. the diesel gives you more power than a dodge v10 I know it is not a ford v10 but it in close enough to compare

Sell a v-10 with 300k and a PSD with 300k and let's see which sells faster and for more money. But hey, i guess that means there's more v10 for you to buy. I won't ever buy one.

Why is that?
The V10 will sell just fine and for just as much at 300K. You know how hard they are to find used? When they go up for sale they are gone within a few days.

I can find about 3 to 5 v-10 just driving by a car dealer not looking very hard but when I got the diesel I had to go out of state to find a used one

We were both wrong.
Looked it up on google and its 310.
1999 Dodge Ram 2500 Specs - CarsDirect
Your 6.0 is 325.
310 or 325, still a big chunk less than 362.
