My truck is ALWAYS in sport! Always use 87 octane. Not sure that I remember the weather, but I'll take note of it next time.

is it possible to "break" the speed limiter?

this question goes against all i know about cars, but i'm having some wierd stuff happen. when i first got the truck, and over the course of the first 6 months or so, my boyfriend and i periodically would test it's limits. consistantly, the truck would hit the speed limiter at 100mph. this completely disappointed me, but whatever. recently, about 2 weeks ago, my boyfriend tried again. we were going down the highway, minimal decline, and he got on the gas just to see. around 100 it began to do the normal stuff, but then due to momentum (and the decline) the truck got past it and around 105 picked right back up again. then, last week he tries to pass the 100 mark again, and the truck goes right past with no issues up to about 115! him and i both know what it feels like when you hit the speed limiter, and it definitly had one at 100. so, how could it possibly drive right through to 115 this time? i mean, can you really "break" it???? i'm just at a loss for what could be going on.


thoughts?????
