Question Top Speed??

Just wondering what top speeds some of you have obtained?? My truck jumps up to 100 pretty quick, and then slowly works up to a top speed of 115. Seems like I still have some pedal left. Is there some defueling going on at speeds over 100??

I have run mine to about 105, and that was fast enough in something that big.

Ran 110 mph for about 10 miles. It felt like it had more but she starts shaking and bouncing a little too much for me I guess I should add that I was on my way to a major accident (I was in a Volunteer Fire Department at the time) with lights and siren.

106mph every time I need to hear "a truck shouldn't be that quick" again. Silly 3500 rpm rev limiter, go away.

110mph by GPS, but didn't want to hold it for too long, the back end felt really loose like it was going to float away. Nor did I want the local HP to get the opportunity to verify my speed in writing for me. But with 4.10's it got there pretty quick.

Plenty fast enough for a 9K pound truck.....
