Why? It doesn't matter. It's a 14 year old truck that will never be worth anything.

On my 95 5.2 the gov was set at about 110. When I got the Mopar PCM there was no gov.

That's correct, with the Mopar performance computer, you no longer have a top end limiter. Just the thing when you are running 35s at 140 mph...okay, I never went that fast....

This kind of behavior won't be tolerated. Please keep the trash talk at church where it belongs.
