Tis the nature of the beast. Without the control afforded to electronic transmissions, the older mechanical trans, needed that governor to keep the engine speed below the governed RPM (3,200 to 3,500 RPMs). The intent is to keep the RPMs as close to 2,000 as possible.

Takes a bit of getting used to as far as driving is concerned but the neither the 6.2 nor the 6.5 were ever envisioned as hot rods. Keep it calm and it will live a long and reliable life.
