well yours is kinda far off from mine, but mine will go past 100 mph easy. everyone says there is a limiter at like 87 i think, but i guess mine is off because i have no trouble going past it lol, and i know iv gone over because iv had people following me. highest iv had mine was 116 with it still accelerating slowly. couldn't imagine it even 5 mph faster then that.

on a side note, DON'T DO IT!! 100 mph is horrifying in these trucks lol.

lol i was trying to detour people from doing it. it depends on the truck, if your steering is lose i wouldn't wana do it. i always did it on my own road before my house and its level/straight for about 2 miles. mine seems pretty solid going that fast till you hit a small bump or a wind gust, thats about it, aka normal lol.

I've had my speedometer needle go from pegged to bouncing, so I'm guessing my '92 was doing better than 100mph...I was definitely 'floating' too.

yea i know alot of people on here can barely get there trucks to 85. i dont know why mine can go past that, someone said that the speedo isn't right after 85 which dont make sense to be honest, aint like i can use it much past 85 anyway lol.
