On the '94 it only goes to 110. :-/. It does get there rather quickly
though :-D. I have the heavy duty shock and sway bar option and it is
rock solid up to my top attempted speed of 110. I just looked down and
there I was! I was racing a guy at the RT 2/Fresh pond parkway which
opens up to a steep hill. Before the steep hill is a sweeping left curve.
At the curve I saw him quite far behind (Maybe he never saw one of these
trucks before) and then I looked down.
8-0.
Scared me.
I love it when it chirps on the 4-5 shift. But it is most likely the
cheezy tires I have. Cheap thrills.
1994 Dakota 5.2l 5 speed (R/T in progress)
