Re: H1 Alpha top speed
I have an 06 alpha. 80 is about all I have seen so far. I agree with the other response concerning the warrenty.

Re: H1 Alpha top speed
Wow, and I've had my H3 up to 95mph with sustained cruising at 85mph. Different kind of rig for sure.

I understand, the Dmax is an expensive critter. I'm still surprised that noone's chipped and did the aftermarket exhaust thing on their H1. Tons and TONS of people are doing it to the trucks. But again, being a Dmax owner, I completely believe that it's fine stock, so I never bothered. Personally, I believe that the H1 could do about 120 with the program change.

Re: H1 Alpha top speed
Plenty of people have done this change. I know of two H1 owners making over 600 hp in their duramax rigs. Lots of people that do those mods buy them through the dealer and dont post online. The parts dept at my local dealer is about to put a stage III computer in one of his customer's Alpha's.

Re: H1 Alpha top speed
Technically speaking, with stock Wrangler GSA's, you're limited to 99MPH because of a "Q" sidewall rating. And personally, with about 8,000 pounds of metal and 12" rotors, I don't think I'd want to go all that fast.

Nah, it'd be just fine even with a blowout. Todays tires are so much better than what I used to drive on. I'd take the stock tires on the H1 to over 120mph any day, after all, I used to go that fast on bias plys in my old Ford Galaxie! Seriously, the H1's so wide and stable that at 100mph a blowout wouldn't be a huge problem. Quite unlike the movies where vehicles go cartwheeling down the street when a tire gets shot out, the H1 would steer well and just be pulled over to the side. It might be ugly in the fender well, but shouldn't be any big freakout deal.
