No, just "geared" out. I don't remember what the rpm's were at 96 as I was racing a hopped up Dodge Cummins on the interstate and if we started at 60 I would whip him to 96 and then he'd pass me up. 96 was as fast as I could go. Every time he shifted it would take a few seconds for his turbo to get wound up and I'd be ahead. If he had a stock Cummins it wouldn't have been a race, I'd of killed him.

 

Maybe if you have oversized tires as that will change the ratio, but stock diameter tires will keep you under 100.

 

I'm not saying it's produced differently or anything, I'm saying the shipping process doesn't work well.

I'll give you an example, I used to work for a frozen dog food company. When the company started shipping across the country, the truck drivers would turn off the refer units to save fuel. The food was basically raw meet, and when it warmed up, it ruined the meet. It would get to the delivery point and be refrozen and sold. Needless to say it didn't go well.

I'm sure beer has specific requirements for shipping too. But IMO, Heinekin in the US taste different than that in Europe.

 

In OD, your at 2800 RPMs going 96. Thats based on 33" tires.

 

Sorry, but your tuner didn't take your speed limiter off. The gearing in a V10 is capable of doing over 160MPH in 5th with 31" tires and 4.10 rear gears.

 

No it will not.
I have stock 265/70R17 BFG Rugged Trail tires on it.
If your truck stops accelerating at 96mph, then your tuner has not removed the speed limiter.

Sorry I didn't see this earlier, but My 2002 even before I had my tuner, would outpull the 6.4 in stock format. This is in a progressive weight sled pull. There is an advantage in the V10 having power faster and getting ground speed up quicker, the resulting momentum will pay off at the end. I did this in 08 or 09 and finished 2nd to a Chevy who was running a 100 HP Bully Dog tuner. I lost by 9 inches.

 

The stock speed limiter is set at 95-96 mph. After you select the tune you want to install in the Predator change the speed limiter under the optional parameters. Read the manual that came with the tuner if you have issues. I have used the Diablo Predator already I know for a fact it is capable of removing the speed limiter.

 

Tastes kinda' Skunky if it's exposed to a lot of light...I agree. If it's on draft, it tastes just like the Dutch version....because it is...lol The green bottles are what makes it skunky. I don't know why they don't use the brown bottles like they do over there (they use clear ones too) but the green ones aren't good for the beer. I prefer Amstel over Heineken, even though Heineken makes it. A good Crystal Weissen is my favorite though. I'm surprised Heineken isn't brewed over here locally, but all of their beers are made there.

 

Well, I've only had Heineken once from draft, and to be honest I can't remember what it tasted like. After a few beers, they all start to taste good.

Amstel, I've had a couple of times, but is far more rare here. I've seen it on the shelves, but need to give it another shot. Maybe the amber bottle will help it out. Unfortunately I live in a college town where lots of beer is consumed, but all is very low quality (i.e. Bud Light is the standard). The few places that do have good beer, just don't move their stock fast enough, so it isn't that great. I've grown accustomed to drinking some of the IPA's that are brewed locally (and surprisingly Sam Adams has a decent PA).

But now is Octoberfest time, it's my unofficial beer month.

 

Thats better than here, where Key stone is the standerd.

 

What is your way of thinking?
You think a car manufacturer would spend millions on research end development of the car capable of safely driving at 150-180 mph, than would build such a car at high cost, spend another fortune for advertising the high performance car to find big number of customers and than would limit the cars speed to 100-125 mph because they cheaped out couple hundred buck on tires?
When I got the first new truck with governor 12 years ago, I went back to the dealership asking them why the truck is reaching the 115 mph governed speed on 3rd gear still having 4th and 5th "to spare".
The dealership salesmen were shocked the truck has a governor. Than I called manufacturer hot-line asking why they did cut the vehicle speed down to about 60%. Got lot of mambo jumbo and finally was send to aftermarket tuners to have the governor override.
Same with the beer. You think firm like Heineken would willingly ruin their product because of the tires?

 

Most governors are placed on cars/trucks not because of government, but because of the lawyers with in the company it's self. If they allow your truck to do the 150 mph its powertrain is capable of, then the wheels fall off because the bearings were not designed for those speeds and you die, the manufacture will have a law suite against them. Is it right? No. But that is how the law works. It falls into the same thing of the woman that spilled the McDonald's coffee in her lap. You bought coffee that is hot, you spill it, you get burned, IMO, it's your fault you got burned, not McDonalds. But obviously the judges thought otherwise.

If ford allows you to go 150 mph in your truck and it fails and you get hurt, the lawyers will make it Ford's fault, even though you were going well above the speed limit. The way it is set up now, everyone knows they can remove the limiter, but by making the costumer do it, moves the liability from Ford on to you since you modified the truck/car.

The reason it is different in Europe is because the legal systems work differently and the entire car is designed to go up to the speed the powertrain can take it to. In that respect it does come back to the government because of the way our legal system is set up, not specifically because the government forces manufactures to put governors on. But that is what happens when 90% of your elected government are lawyers.

 

Really? Is that all you got. There's more to pulling than 10k over what 16th-8th of a mile. The guys and me for one that says the PSD will not be out pulled by the v10 is talking about a CGVW at 20,000lbs or more. Over mixed road conditions. My PSD is not fast at all. So I'm not racing..

 

I notice a double standard here. When a PSD owner talks about racing their truck it's taboo. when a V10 owner talks about running another truck from 60-96, all of the V10 owners talk about chips, removing the limiter, etc. I think it's stupid if you're trying to race a 7500+ lb truck, and I hope you get caught.

When I talk about racing, I'm talking about pulling up a hill or to the speed limit, or at the local airport on Sunday. I've offered to race Bill or Phillips91 up Vail Pass as I don't have to worry about them exceeding 55mph.
