anyone else notice this when accel to 90 - 100 mph
My '97 dakota topped at 114. Scared me when the gov kicked in and started cutting the power. For a little truck it handled well at that speed on a straight hiway. 50 miles of nothing scooting across the king ranch. I can't see wanting to go any faster than that in a truck.

5.9 I think you just need to gain some lead in you foot, I am not blind and I assure you it hit 115, I did 112 today on I-75, if your truck doesnt do it, don't know. If you don't believe me come to cooper city florida and I will take you to the Hway and show you, my truck hits around 105 stalls for a moment and continues not at the same pace prior to 105 but I assure it continues, I don't know what your talking about whiplash or hitting it hard (don't know what your hitting, maybe the pipe) LOL. Keep trying maybe your not pushing hard enough.

Had to crank up the beast today to get around some dumpers and slow pokes hit 105 and it paused for a second, kept pushing the gas and she kept on going, got her up to 115 then let her back off, as far as maneuvering you will be pretty surprised it handles really good and drives very well at high speeds and feels very comfortable and stable no shaking.
Im gonna need pictures cause its not me its my truck telling you your full of ****.
If you don't believe thats your choice, two times over 105 I guess you all are the experts (not), I assure you It's no BS, but whatever I guess its strikes a nerve with you so whatever, Like I said its not like the truck continues like a rocket but it does creep up with the speed built into the vehicle before the limiter kicks in, I guess you all never took a F*&^^^G physics course, I assure the truck doesn't slam on its brakes and give you whiplash and I am sure the truck continues accelerating to a point (mine does, hahahahaha), try it a couple of times, don't know how to explain it but it happened.

I don't think you are full of ****. I think you have a faulty PCM.
The truck did what it did, I don't have to prove it or make a believer out of anyone, I have no reason to be "full of S*&t, I am not trying to sell anyone anything (magic R/T badges, wings, or programs) I am 38 years old and have plenty experience with reading an odometer, its not a special skill, when I started the post I was curious about the issue, since then when I get a chance/reason to get the truck up i check it out and see what it will do, as far as a faulty PCM oh well i will have it checked when I get tires rotated.

I won't challenge your claim. You can write what you want. However, I will state all of your claims of doing 100+ indicates you are a driver with no concern for others on the road or traffic laws . I will doubt that where you live you must drive 100+ on the freeways to keep up with traffic. Someday it will catch up with you. I hope you don't take anyone out with you.
