I've heard some say the Mercedes engine is made by Detroit and is basically a Detroit. Yet I've heard others say no, it's a Mercedes engine and has no connection with Detroit and shares no parts? But maybe this is a thread hijack so never mind that.

I'm pretty sure you can get it programmed for higher speeds. You can also program it to default to different gears to start from stopped too, I think. My jake brake doesn't activate if the cruise control power switch is turned on (doesn't have to be cruising at a set speed). If yours is like that it can be programmed out too. I don't mind this so I've kept it that way.
