Top End 100 MPH ??

[MBRPCrazyford]

Sure, but I wouldn't wanna drive down the hwy at 100 mph and turn the key only to find out that the engine cranks because the starter inhibiter is only installed in newer trucks! I imagine it would make a mess out of the truck and possibly of me as well!




No,no! The bad a** truck is a necessity. Like air. It comes down to having a house *or* eating. I myself have a house and an F-250, but I'm very skinny

Nope, shouldn't my 97 won't let the starter crank when it's in anything but neutral or park. Your's shouldn't either. If it does, then you've got other issues

Yeah, a bad A** truck is exactly like air, ya gotta have it.

I tried this the other day, let me just say 8600 lbs, on 38" tires at 125+ is kinda crazy.......

but the vette, that I blew past, and the look on the drivers face made it all worth while.

Haven't had the nerve to turn the key switch yet. But I will. Sometimes you just need to go a little faster.

See told yall it works course with my sct i can keep both hands on the wheel. Had my swampers up to 100 the other night. then i seen brake lights. They need to make a brake adjuster for these trucks cause i'm tired of my rear going left.

What do you mean your rear goin left??? Mine doesn't pull to either side at all.

You guys are nuts! You all do realize there is a very specific reason these (and all) vehicles are governed at a certain speed? Do you think they engineers just say hey this thing only needs to go 94mph or 96mph or whatever. Its ALL based off the speed rating of the the tire that the truck is equipped with. Ever had a tire come apart at a high rate of speed? Ive been there at V.I.R at 161mph and lets just say the outcome isnt very fun.

If i'm over 80 mph and i jam the brakes hard the rear end goes left.

That really sucks, I wonder what would cause that?
Have you tried bleeding both rear brakes?

You can have a blow out at 15 mph too. Should trucks not be able to go over 15 mph? There are several factors involved in high speed blow outs. I am not a factory trained tech, but I have spoken with them about this because it was a concern. I don't know where you are driving but where I drive if you are not running 80 - 85 mph you will be run over. And at times to get past / go around I might need to go over 94 mph and I want to be able to.
