We're all goverened @ 118.Stock dakotas wouldNOT see 130 if there wasn't a limiter, we'd need muchmore HP to overcome the brick wall aerodynamics and weight.

JUst be careful of the speeding. You must not be in an area that's overly populated. Where I live, you'd wear your brakes down faster than you use gas.

I'd like to know what the max speed is on our trucks, but I don't like the idea of killing myself or anyone else to do it.

I got up to 95mph one time and it felt like it had quite a bit more power to push it up...but at 12:30 at night I decided to back down because the highway patrol loves to sit in their black and white cars with no lights on...and when an unsuspecting stupid teen like me comes along all like "dededuhhh!" they enjoy pulling us over....
