The governor spring "is" the rev limiter.

*insert sarcasm* gas... Diesel... It's all the same... It all rotates doesn't it? Hahaha. But at any rate, any engine is capable of turning itself inside out. You go above it's limits, it's not a question of if it'll fail but when. Do your homework and supporting mods and you greatly increase the probability of the truck staying together.

I have this excellent mod called a tach. Works on any motor regardless of fuel type. Keep it under three grand and it's all good.

I agree. I've never hit the fuel shut off in my truck even when i'm racing a buddy or doing donuts in the snow. It's called a throttle and a tach, and when you use them at the same time you get pretty good results
