I don't know that Bill mucks with the speed limiter unless you ask him to. He didn't with my tunes, but it was an easy change using the "Custom Options" menu.

Then, after setting my speed limiter to 110, I set my speed alert at 85, so I don't get a ticket! Does this make sense or what?

I certainly don't want to cruise in the "ticket me" range and, I don't want to push the tire limits, (even though they are rated for 114). But, if I have to go fast for some reason, I most emphatically don't want the truck's brain to shut me down.

These trucks certainly don't need to be "babied", but they don't need to be "beat all to hell" either. I think either approach can be bad for their long term health.
