It works on the '97, '99, 2000, and 2001 trucks we played around with
(3.9, 5.9, 4.7, 5.9/4.7). I've been working with a local Dodge tech on
tracing the wires in an attempt to rig up a switch (throttle switch) to
turn it off. We're down to three wires now. :)

Jayson,
Where did you hear about this? I think with the speedo dropping out you
are on to something! (something kinda scary) It sure wouldhave come in
handy on the dyno yesterday with your truck... I dont have a speed
limiter so I cant try it... Hmmm Bruce
