Please, don't post bugs from modded game.
Test it without mods and, if it's still present, report then.
Also, put some description... I am not sure what this means.

On the counter is 120 km / h and on the gps is 144 km / h
I created a new profile with no mods and it is the same problem

That's better

PS. Don't post the same thing multiple times.
Your first 5 posts must be approved, before you can post freely. But if you post the same thing it will be rejected.
Thanks.

One more thing:

does this happen only above 120? Because the dashboard gauge is limited, while the RA isn't.
So, it's normal that the dashboard needle stops at a certain speed, even if the truck is traveling faster than that.

This is not a bug, the tacho on the dahboard simply doesnt go further than 120kmh.
Usually truckers dont drive 140+kmh, but 70/80/90kmh, it's not a car.

Well, if you read wikipedia it says it is the rev counter.
The problem is that the word "tahos" (or "tachos") means SPEED, so.. tacho-meter should be a device measuring the speed...
I've always known it as being the speed-o-meter (another weirdly composed English word), not the rev counter, at least in my language, where the latter is calle turo-metru.
Even wikipedia gives the Greek origin of the name as coming from speed, not rotation or revolutions...
I guess it's debatable :D

Over here in Australia the Tacho is the engines RPM and the Speedo is the speed in KPH.
Most unusual that the same name differs in various countries! :D
Yet there is no 'Speedo" shown here:
