100 mph limiter

[whtrapta]

I've heard mixed things on removing the speed limiter. Some people say that the dealership can go into the vehicle's ECU and pull history that will indicate that the vehicle had surpassed it's limited speed, indicating some sort of tuner device had been used. Rev limiter was explained much the same way to me. Any thoughts?

Damn! those crafty Ford mechanics! Always taking the fun out.

Well whats the fun when you can hit the limiter in 3rd gear (out of 6)

Thats when you know this truck is FAST! I wonder if you had high speed tires and the limiter off, just how fast the truck would go?

Errrr electric crap. Rev limiter should be my right foot.

Agreed. The drive shaft isn't meant for much faster then 100mph and can be extremely dangerous if it blows out at that speed as you could imagine.

how can i go about finding a new drive shaft rated for higher speeds and what kind of offroad tires could manage higher speeds

 

[whtrapta]

find the length and size of drive shaft and google for a higher speed rated one. And you probably won't get anything all terrain that is over 100mph

Actually, 112 mph S rated DOT all terrain tires is the highest that I have found.

Ah they'll be fine up till 120. I hit 105 with my moms minivan and bald tires. Tried for 110 but stopped for 2 reasons.
1. It's a dodge. Anything over 80 mph is sketchy as fuq

2. I woulda ass ***** a jeep if I didn't slow down
