The Ram 1500 series can reach speeds ranging from 140 to 150 miles per hour without the speed limiter, depending on the elevation. At lower elevations, the truck can achieve higher speeds due to increased air intake into the engine. If you decide to remove the speed limiter through tuning, it's important to upgrade the tires on your truck first. The speed limiter is typically implemented to reduce the risk of tire blowouts due to overheating at high speeds. Exercise caution when driving at high speeds in a truck as they have a higher center of gravity and can be prone to tipping over more easily compared to lower cars.

Previously, it maxed out at 107mph, and I couldn't push it past that based on the dashboard display.
