Has anyone tried to find the top speed limit on a new HEMI Ram. Had mine up to 105 mph today on the way to church. Truck started moving around a little, very windy, and the wife was getting nervous, so I backed out of it.

At least I know it's higher than My 01 dakota was. 97 MPH

I suppose the Church Lady would have a kitten if she only knew. I believe not much over 105 is about the limit without making some kind of modification.

Yeah. I'm thinking it would be matched to the stock tires. I think the stock 20's are "H" rated, which would mean 118 MPH.

in my 04 hemi, my top speed is also 105. i have heard of some having slightly higher top speeds...

I think it is eprom-limited, just discard the speed limiter in the eprom and it should be able to go around 125 mph or also something more (a good tuner could do the job easily).

I didn't have any indictation at 105 that it was being limited. I'll have to call the service department and see if they know.

I may try to find a tuner shop and see if they can do away with the limiter. It's not like I'll ever drive it that fast, but I like to know I can if I want/need to.

My local dealer said that the Hemi with the factory tires and 20" wheels will run 120 at 2000 rpm... I dont know if he knew what he was talking about cuz thats pretty fast...

I'm pretty sure he doesn't (know what he's talking about). In high gear, my 5-speed HEMI Ram w/20" wheels turns ~2,100 RPM at 80 MPH. 2,000 RPM at 120 MPH is way off.

I sure hope you hemi people are breaking your trucks in before finding your top speed
