G'day
I had to drive between Tenant Creek and Alice Springs this week. Some sections of the road have no posted speed limit. This gave me the opportunity to see what the truck had. The cruise control will go to 180Kph (GPS at 179). The engine sits on 3000RPM at that speed with engine temp 10 degrees hotter (96) then if I was doing 110. If I put the boot in to see what else it had the transmission kicked back at least 2 gears the engine would rev at 4000Rpm but no more speed. I'm guessing that it is speed limited to 180.
I have slightly larger tyres on that have corrected the speedo error, now the ecu is 5% slower than actual speed.
