speed limiter
 
Hey does anyone know if a dealership will take off my speed limiter? my truck shuts down at like 95 and i kno it can pull more than that!

Also, what do you think the cost would be?

get a tuner, it will probbably be cheaper, and u will get better performance.

LowMaz 02-06-2007 05:11 PM

the tuners take off the speed limiters?

anthony84_2004 02-06-2007 05:13 PM

bamachips- x-cal 2, do a search on it, there is lots of info about them on here.

FireRanger 02-07-2007 07:55 AM

You won't find a dealer that will do that. Not a chance.

01xltranger4x4 02-07-2007 10:26 AM

haha i was going to say, a dealer?!?! hahahahahaha

LowMaz 02-07-2007 10:28 AM

so a tuner is the only way to take this off?

FireRanger 02-07-2007 11:19 AM

A tuner or a chip. Thats it. Why do you want to remove it? Unless you are planning to go to a track with it, I don't see the use considering how much money it costs.

LowMaz 02-07-2007 11:21 AM

cuz it looks so bad when ur haulin ass down a highway goin to past someone and ur car just stops accelerating... there are so places where you need to do over 90mph... like on the interstates in florida

99ranger4x4 02-07-2007 11:23 AM

yea.. i was gonna say.. like everyone else.. a dealer wont ever touch that..ever

i know on chevy's its a purple wire somewhere behind the dash that u can cut.. (i work w/ someone who did)

i was almost too scared to hit the limit w/ my stock truck, which i never managed to do


now lifted, im scared ****less to even attempt to hit the limit..

in my step dads rx8 though... :mischievo

LowMaz 02-07-2007 11:25 AM

i feel really safe in my truck... at 95ish it feels like 65, no lie. i just want to unleash what the truck has, i kno it can go over 100 easily

99ranger4x4 02-07-2007 11:29 AM

badass for a truck then.. but i have only hit that in 2 cars, neither were the truck.. too scared

**** shakes at 70 lol

LowMaz 02-07-2007 11:31 AM

my truck doesnt shake at all, its awesome.

ive hit 115 in my old volvo, 120 in my bmw, and around 130 in my moms audi. soon im hopin to break the 150 mark

FireRanger 02-07-2007 11:54 AM

I had a feeling this had something to do with stupidity.

RangerJustin 02-07-2007 11:55 AM

haha not stupidity... i do it when the roads are right, and the conditions are perfect... i would never risk anyones life including my own.

FireRanger 02-07-2007 12:04 PM

Well by your own admission, you are doing it in traffic. So that pretty much shoots down that lame excuse. Try again.

LowMaz 02-07-2007 12:12 PM

traffic usually means busy roads.. im not a dumb***...i like to do it at like 2am when ppl are just cruisin on the highways.

if i really wanna race and be an a-hole like u think i am, ill go up to epping and hit the strip

SouthernMudSlinger 02-07-2007 01:22 PM

I've gotten up to 90 a few times in my 4cyl ranger, but I dont stay there for more than like 5 sec.

going that fast no matter where u are is dangerous, no questions asked

Hitch 02-07-2007 09:40 PM

I hit 163 in a Z06 on an airport runway. My 4.0l hit 105 before it cut out. NO EXCUSE is good enough for doing that speed on a road. I have scraped up more guts than brains from kids like you. You want to go fast? Take it to the track. It may not be you that cant drive, but it may be that drunk coming home from the bar at 2am that weaves in front of you!

LowMaz 02-07-2007 09:42 PM

yea im planning on goin to New England dragway in Epping, NH soon

99ranger4x4 02-07-2007 10:19 PM

yea, jsut be safe, theres also the variables that are outa ur control like a blow out..

UNCCRang49 02-24-2007 12:16 AM

ive had my 3.0 up to 105, nothing done to it. it stayed at 95 for a few seconds then jumped up to 105, dont know how or why though. That is as fast as I cared to go though. Im like the rest however man, theres no reason to go that fast, lots of bad things can happen. But in your defense, he asked how to do it, not is it smart or safe. its his decision and his life.
