I was kinda wondering what my truck would do. It's a 2001 HO 6spd with a 4.10 rear end and I've been worried to take it over 80mph (~2600rpm). Well, last night I figured it out. I figured one speed run wouldn't hurt, so I was on the longest straightest bridge here, and WOT!!!!! I maxed out at 3100rpm and 101mph. Then later at a stop light I was remembering a guy's question as to governed speed,.....that would be 3300rpm. Now that I know, I'll be keeping it down to that 80mph limit I had before. But what a rush. rock solid all the way past 100. I love my truck. Now I can't wait to get a comp. <br><br>-SFB

 

Well I have never had my truck up to 101 but it is such a rush to really put your foot into it and haul @#* and smoke everyone out. That really is a blast to just cover everything and everyone in smoke. I still the first time I tried it. Some little car was just riding me on 13 hwy and I was just sick of it so I just thought I'll just get them off my butt. So I put my foot into it and was screaming. Looked behind me to see how far back they were and all I saw was smoke ;D. I just love that. ;D -Anthony

 

Ok I gotta ask. What wire? Where? -Anthony

Also if you want to use the cruise control, the switched will need to be engauged then also.<br><br>Least that's how it was always explained to me.

 

ok Well thanks for the info. Does this wire have a name and what does it do or how does this work. Thanks -Anthony

 

Not trying to be a nag boys - but our truck tires ain't built to take that kind of speed. You lose a tire at 100+ and you'll be hurtin'! ;D<br><br>Best to y'all<br>Bill

 

Never required a switch for my truck...saw 230 KMH clocked by a cop car once. <br>But thats with a Scotty Air. heheheheh<br><br>I agree, those heavy tires are not for speed and just as I was thinking I had more top end left, I got that puckered feeling and backed out. Its not a good thing to have a truck that weighs 9000 pounds [mine does the way it outfitted] tumbling down the road. Trust me on that one...been there done that and tore up the T-shirt with my body doing it. :'(

 

Don't know about the rev limiter, I've seen about 3600 rpm on mine racing a D-Max. I topped out at about 114 but was running out of road. With a little time (ie distance) I think I coulda got about 117 out of it. These tall trucks move alot of air.<br><br>Duane<br>

 

well, i've had mine up to 95/96mph with my foot to the floor running out of rpms. no match for the guys with dd2s and BD8s.......i was just *trying* to keep up :'( ;D ;D

<br><br> How much was that little burst of speed worth to the Canadian economy? Or was it about 500 hours of community service on the sheep ranch

 

I have seen 126 or so it is way floatly up there. I was playing with a super charged Mustang. And when I check the speed-o out he beat me :, but up until 126 I had him ;D<br><br>Got to luv that 4K governer spring kit. If I had the guts I would say my truck would do 135 or so...<br> <br>This is one of the only vehicle I have had that I haven't found the top speed of.<br><br>

 

Well if I want to get there fast I drive my car. If I want to look cool getting there I drive my truck. (had her up to 90 though)

 

Dee, I was heading South Sat morn had some room so I took her up to 105 up the point of the mountain, still had pedal left, backed off before the top and started down and there was a highway man with one pulled over, backed right off real quick.
