Governor-Warranty connection

If you’re doing 87 mph I hope you’re at least pulling Super-B’s and up to at least 140,000. If there’s going to be a catastrophic event you might as well go big.

 

Around here there's no roads you can legally exceed 68 mph. Guess that's not always the case lol.

 

Company drivers shouldn’t be going 87 mph owner ops pay the fuel and repairs so it’s up to them I suppose.

 

Around here the Paccar dealers will only set the speed limit to what the tires are rated for.
The majority of the roads here in Louisiana are so bad going faster than 30 mph your truck falls apart.

 

Thanks for the ping.

Unless something has changed that I'm not aware of, this has nothing to do with the warranty. Dealers set the speed rating (or don't) based on the company specs. If a company wants the governor set to 65 that is where it's set. If they don't have any preference we don't set it.

It sounds to me that your company wants you to drive slower, they're just not telling you that.

Edit: It's also possible that the tires the vehicle are spec'd with simply can't handle above 75 mph, which is why that is the limit.

 

Exactly

 

99 my ECM wouldn't go past 2 digits ...

 

Just don't hit 88mph. Because when this baby hits 88mph, you're gonna see some serious ####. Don't believe me? Watch a clip from this documentary.
