Truck won't go over 80-82 MPH

Human reaction time is more on the order of 0.250 seconds to assess and react.

As you age your reaction time slows. Health also plays a factor.

More damaging is the distracted driver dinking with their phone or NAV system or Play List or........

 

They opened a new local highway a year or so ago with a 70 speed limit. I usually set the cruise around 73 or so and people occasionally pass me well in excess of triple digits.

 

I'm not understanding exactly the statement you're trying to make...

I'm sorry, please elaborate...?

 

"Forget it Jake, it's Tacomatown."

 

some have mentioned they can only muster 80-90 mph top end

my SR (completely stock!! ) easily accomplishes that in 4th gear......................no wheres near redline

as a former racer i know for certain 6th is NOT the fastest gear

havent had the opportunity to run 5th gear out

those speeds are jail time these parts

mandatory appearance in front o judge

 

Push the go pedal harder.

 

Take it back to the dealer have them figure it out . It’s hard to say posting on a forum . Anything from gears,transmission,fuel delivery .might had a tune on it that someone tried to put back to stock and screwed up . Best of luck .

 

finally found someone I can pass with my 2.7

 

Good luck with that, sir.

 

If you somehow “screw up” flashing to a stock tune, you will brick your ECU. No other way to screw up really.

 

You are telling me this can be accomplished without the PC?

 

PC is for the weak. Just mash them footpegs until the car does somethin.

 

Every one of those posts is like a work of art.

A written Jackson Pollock, if you will.

 

Okay got it...I actually was guessing right that you meant the top end speed of 4th Gear ratio...I just didn't want to assume

It is correct that one can accelerate to "max speed"/stock governor limiter in 4th which does redline hitting about ~121mph before theoretically needing to upshift...

 

I have faith in humanity sir!

 

I'm always hopeful here on TW!

 

Same here. It freaked me out at first but then “I’m doing 80mph”

 

Because when this baby hits 88MPH you're gonna see some serious shit!

 

Sounds like it's governed, if it were redlined i feel like you would have mentioned it by now.

 

Haha!
