What happens

What happens if you hit the top speed limiter too much. Someone said they broke a rear main seal (or something like that) from it. Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks

The check engine light will come on eventually with engine/vehicle overspeed codes, and you'll probably have a helluva time explaining to the nice officer why you were haulin' *** through his jurisdiction.

Get a tuner, it'll take off the top speed limiter!

So, my truck is going to blow up .
I am going to have to drive slower, or get a Tuner to get rid of that stupid limiter.

Thanks Guys
