Sorry if this has been discussed before, but just how fast will a 5.9 go flat out governed? And how fast with the governor disabled? Just curious, not that I would ever do that.

It varies model year to model year. The governor is actually just a piece of programming inside the computer now. All were around 95-120 though, IIRC.

When I first got my truck I topped it out somewhere between 120-130. Hard to say since the speedo runs out at 120. That was with 265/75-16 tires on 5.9 with 3.55 gears.

Been to 115 before and she still seemed like she had some more to go. And this was with a 318.
