Cool

Yeah, the speed limiter/governer is the aerodynamics of any truck.

Sorry, couldn't resist passing up on that one.

Car and driver had 109mph as the goverend max on their 6spd 4x4Dcab Off Road. I beleive they show 106 as max in fourth, then 109 for 5th and 6th. Wide open dont think she would go much faster than 120 (at least a 4x4 dcab) anyway. Like the first reponse said, aerodynamics of the truck would really 'catch' up quick

You mean shorter gears? That way you accelerate faster, and can use 6th

yea same thing you knew what I ment...Its like when people say they are downshifting and upshifting they always seem to mean the opposit of what you are thinking.
Yea I want to be able to actually use 6th and 3.55 would make her a little quicker instead of the 3.15 in there

Has anyone looked into rpm's? I heard somewhere that it is the rpm's that they use to govern the engine. I think that is somewhere around 6500?
