I would imagine it does, my '91 22RE wouldn't go past 5900.

I would also like to know this, but for sure or not. not just I imagine... I stand on mine in the mud too and have seen it go pretty high,, kinda an opps thing.
I mounted one of those 2 3/4 inch tacks right on the top of the steering collum I can still see how slow I am going but not how far I have went... (grin)

I'd like to see if my '94 does also. I was wheeling once and someone said they heard it kick in - but I didn't notice it. I was too busy giving tons of gas!!!
