Default anyone else notice this when accel to 90 - 100 mph

while accelerating on the highway from around 75mph to 100mph I notice the truck seems to stall out momentarily (does this more towards 95-100 not in the begining) then keeps going, it's consistent and seems to be something with the program in the computer, don't know if its a problem or if just part of the way the transmission programming is, no messages from the evic and no other performance issues, no recalls notes for my VIN either.

sounds like the speed governor and i do not recommend taking it to the dealer and explaining how its acting funny between 90-100 mph...and then taking them on a ride to show it to them!

Speed limiter is what I thought it might be, its always consistent around 100mph, no issues from any other lower speed, just wanted to know if anyone else noticed it, check yours and see, let me know. Regardless I have always learned the less the dealers have their hands on it the better off you are, and anytime I have had to take any of my last two rams in I sit their watching the whole time, call me weird, but you don't know the stories that I have heard. My father in law had his silv. in for work they called his wife at home instead of him and told her they had some trouble with the truck and to come pick it up, she asked what it was, and it seemed a pole had wrapped itself around the truck, she told them to call her husband and hung up. I have other horrifying tales that I have heard from good sources.

You don't live in South fla., you don't know what your missing, sometimes you have to put down the pedal on the highway to get around the a.sh...s in this area, other than that I baby this one.

I've hit the limiter more time than I can count! I can't wait for a tuner to get rid of the limit and then put some z-rated tires on it. In florida 80 is the typical speed so you have to drive triple digits to pass.

I bump the speed limiter in Va. I95 is I95 once you get south of dc.

Edit: and BTW I'm beta testing the hypertech tuner right now and it doesn't do anything for the speed or rev limiters.
