Problem with my 06

Hey guys,
I have had the same problem with my 06 for a while and can't get it figured out. If I run the truck up to 103 it feels like it defuels and just plain runs out of power. (Now I don't run at 103 alot but once in a while I will get a wild hair and want to show a friend what the back of my dually looks like). Anyway after it defuels it losses it's power. Even after I slow down it just has no power. It feels like it's stock. Almost no smoke and way lower power. I can drive 100 miles and the power doesn't come back. If I shut the truck off the power is back. Runs great but if I run her up to 103 she shuts down and stays that way untill I shut the truck back off. Any of you guys ever experience this before?
Thanks,
Topper

No I didn't. I don't think I can with my Smart. It may be to old. I don't know why that would help though.

You need to update it with the newest software and that will allow you to adjust your speed limiter up to 250mph

Yea I have a newer version on my wife's 05 that I can adjust the speed limiter But what will that do? If it hits the defuel will it stay in the defuel mode untill I turn the truck off?
Thanks,
