Strange,,,,My 2002 4.7 would not set over 85mph,,

but my 2005 5.7 does

Maybe it's a 4.7 vs 5.7 thing...

anybody to confirm?

Huh? 80kph! That's only 50mph. Something's wrong. Take it back!

Good luck.

Ive never had an issue setting mine at any speed. However after it is set when it drops below the set speed it surges until it gets back up to speed. So instead of a steady single acceleration it surges several times. I can watch the tach jump a few hundred RPMs each time it surges. The truck is an 02 but I have only owned it about 3 months. Anyone had this problem?
