Default Factory limiter around 95mph

I've had a 2000, 2002, 2005 and now a 2011 with 4.7. I think they all had a factory limit of about 95mph.

I don't have a limiter on my 2011 now and don't know what it could do flat out. It has a 4.56 gear and get a little vibration in the driveshaft at higher speeds so I haven't pushed it. But I think it tickled about 110 on the Florida turnpike catching up to a hit and run driver. It got there quick and was still pulling when I caught up and let off.

I thought the speed limiter was set at 115 mph.

Although I have mine set at 140 mph now, thanks to Superchips.

Hell no, 140 in this truck on public roads wouldn't be the smartest thing. I can't remember the top speed that I've done.

I've had my ram up to about 90, but, that was pretty scary...... I took my buddies hellcat up to 140 though. Didn't even make me nervous. (aside from the ticket potential..... )
