I say a lot of that depend on transmission and engine temperature, tow/haul mode, rpm, speed you are going. You can goto this site and play around with numbers to see speed to rpm for each gear. But top stock speed is around 94mph. Just the speed limiter setting. But got this site and setup the transmission and figure top rev limit of 3250 rpm and see what mph you be going. http://www.grimmjeeper.com/gears.html

I'm pretty sure he is asking if you put it in M1 and floored it what MPH would it be at when it is on the rev limiter, same for M2, M3, etc.

Yea sorry guys I was pretty sick when I posted that and after reading it again realized I wasn't too clear.

What ryan said is what I meant. WOT top of each gear

Thanks for the link Tanc

The truck would shift from M1 to M2 and so on by itself then?

totally warm everything up, put it in m1, take off. somewhere around 3300-3500 you will top off, make a note of your speed, goto m2. wash, rinse, repeat.
