Default How fast have you had your Ram?

Like the title says, What is the highest speed you have had your Ram?

I was on an empty stretch of highway this evening that cops rarely patrol and I decided to open the Ram up. I got to 120mph, then lifted because I was getting a driveline vibration (U joint??? I think???), but it was still pulling strong.

So what have you had your to and did you have any vibrations past 100mph?

Before the level and 33's, I had it topped out at the governed speed...I cant remember what that is for an 04. Now, after the level and 33's, I never go over 80. It feels just to fast for a truck that high. And its not even that high!

Usually if it is a U joint at that speed and you can feel it. It tears itself up before you get the vehicle shut down. Keep looking...

I am not sure what it is. This was the first time it has happened, and it has not done it since as long as I keep it under 100. I drove 50 miles home at 75-80 mph and no vibrations or noises at all. I was just guessing a U joint. I am not sure what is was

So how fast have you been?
