The fastest that I have ran mine was 95mph. I did not it the rev limiter. The cruise control will not hold any speed greater than 85mph.

Durango can reach 146 mph i tried it it is crazy

You have to pull one fuse

Near the driver side fuse box

there is a fuse for the ABS second column third or fourth row it is for the ABS

The only problem you have you wont have ABS and the Speedometer will stop. After reach 110 miles it will engage in fourth gear you shift the lever to second gear and it wil go back to third gear and go all the way down to 5900 rpm reach the speed of 146 mph

John:

That is some weird secret spy manuevring to go through, and no offense but I hope no one is crazy enough to try it.

Besides the fact that the Durangos tires are only speed rated to 118mph, I would hate to see the mess and carnage that would ensue if you had to stop or make an evasive manuver at those speeds in a Durango.

The likelyhood that the driver of any Durango going that speed would survive a crash would not be a bet that I would take.

I had a tire come apart at 157mph one time (It took the whole left quarter panel off the car and ground the wheel down to the brake drum before I was able to stop it.

PS also some damage to the upholsery on the drivers seat.

My neighbor has an 04 hemi durango with ported heads,headers,dual exhaust,cam,ecu reflash,etc.He had the rev limiter raised, shift points raised, more agressive spark adv, top speed limiter raised,etc.The durango started swaying back and forth dangerously at 125-127mph! I don't see how anyone could get it any faster using a stock setup.

All kidding aside, I will venture you were not in a vehicle with a high gravity center when that happened. Hope your backside recoverdok after EMS pried the seat cushion out.
