Default How Fast MPH?

Just curious, but just how fast will these trucks go flat out before the eletronic limiter kicks in? (5.9 Sport 4X4)

My boss (when I had a job) called me up and asked me the same question. His brother-in-law died and he was gonna take possession of his Dakota. He was asking if it had a governor on it cause it started cutting out (like the ignition was being shut off) just past 100. Dropped it back down under 99 and it picked up again.

I know it wasn't a Ram but this is the only experience I have with Dodges and limiting.

I know mine does 95 but it didn't bump any limiters.

i don't know. i don't ever get above 70
112 rings a bell. it'll show in the hypertech programming dialogue if anyone wants to hook it up and look.

I don't think it is the same on all years. I've seen some say it was 105 and some 115. I've had my 96 to 114 and it was still picking up very slowly. Wasn't scary at all to me. The Edelbrocks held it as steady as a line painted on the road.
