    really 75 is more then enought. I use to cruse at 50-55. In many EU countries top speed is 90 kmh, so all trucks are 55 MPH governed..... be thankfull that you got 73 governor.

    I prefer to deal with Cummins dealers directly instead of truck dealers. They have a fixed rates for adjusting engine parameters or changing the calibration file in the INSITE. It's $85 for parameters and $215 for calibration if I remember correctly.

    Who in the right mind wants to run over 85 in a semi. It's a disaster waiting to happen, I hope you don't kill anyone.

    You want to drive fast buy a race car and do it on a track, honestly truckers driving at high speeds is more blame on all drivers, before we know it all trucks will be govered at 55 because our gooberment has to protect everyone from that one guy doing 75 that killed the moron that pulled out in front of him and the driver couldn't stop.

    People in the atlanta area like to play around with their driving and those trucks don't want to pass or anything
