I got to around 92, then then the Speed limiter kicked in. Glad it did. I was going way too fast for this type of vehicle.

Default Re: Top speed 04 xlt w/4.0?

just curious, my speed limiter shuts the ignition off when i hit 100. it stays off till i completely let off the gas. it is pretty scary cuz the truck will get a little tail whip. does anyone else's do that?
