2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Say it aint so....99mph

[E7mack96]

was doin' a run to BASF in Wyandotte, Mi again last nite. A grand cherokee passed me like I was sitting still ( I was doin' 75) I opened it up. Wouldn't go over 99-100 mph. Is this all I can get??



I took the box off, but still have 275's in.

 

[EMDDIESEL]

I was doing about 110 last night in my 01' 2500. Do 3500's have govenors??

 

[Cooker]

What RPM were you at? What gears do you have?

 

[Sageair]

You didn't mention what gears you have but my 2001 h/o 6 speed with 3;54 gears will pull to over 115 and that's up here at 4,500 feet m. s. l. bye the way my truck is bone stock.

 

[TPilaske]

Must have been the downriver pollution holding you back!

 

[K_Arts]

I know for a fact that the 2001's have a speed limiter on the ECM. Not sure when it started but I personally can bury the needle on my 2k and still have plenty of juice left over.



Thought the wifes stock 2001 is gutless above 100mph.

My early 2001 with 3. 54 gears & 6 spd will peg the needle easy.

E-7 ever make it to BASF's site in South Brunswick, NJ?

I work there.

My 98 12 valve will only go to 100 mph. RPM's about 3K and I have 3. 55's with the 5 speed.

[Rob Thomas]

My '01. 5 will peg also, 3. 55 gears-6-speed

I had to try once "just to see if it would" and mine got between 115 and 120 before I chickened out and backed off. I think the truck woulda kept going but thoughts of what would happen to me in a 7000lb truck if I had a blowout at those speeds talked me out of it...

[CharlieMiller]

You have to take your other foot off the brake and it will cruise over a 100 . Did you pull up the anchor?

 

[Ted Constantine]

I run out of RPMS before anything else with my 4. 10s. That being said I thought that they all had a 112mph speed limiter in them.

On the 12-valve, the 4K GSK does wonders, last race I had on the expressway, I let off after the needle was WAYYYY past the 120 mph mark ( had the needle pegged on the trip reset botton )and only let off because I do not trust my tires. But trust me when i tell you, I was only @ 3800 rpm with about 200 more to go!

Now before the GSK, I could 100 mph after being launched off and aircraft carrier steam catapult, down hill, and with a 60 MPH tail wind. JK



One thing is for sure, I can never say enough for what GSK do for the 12 valves!



FYI, My truck is auto, 3. 54, 285/75/r16 (slightly taller than stock)

 

[LSMITH]

Had my 99 in excess of 120 tonight racing a buddy. I have 3. 5 gears and 285 tires, there was still some left.

 

[WadePatton]

Mine went to 110 easy the other day.

 

[pathaymond]

Holy crap I had no idea a cummins would move that fast. and that peaple would actually drive a truck of that size that fast. I must have no guts because I am off the loud pedal at 90 period!! Yikes I hope I am not ever on the same roads as you speed demons. LOL. Power to you Guys!!:--)

 

[A. Brown]

did the ton preatty easy the other day, had some left over too

 

[Pit Bull]

Got mine up to 75 mph once but got scared and backed off

 

[Jumbo Jet]

2002 with 4. 10 gears and GearVendors OD. 105 mph and still climbing when I let off.

 

[Turbo Horseman]

Don't know how fast mine will go... trailer has a speed limiter... the horses keep saying whoa!
