How do you remove the speed cap

Crazy4Bowln · Jul 13, 2009

Hey how can i remove the speed cap on my 98 v6 3.0 Ranger??? I dropped a new engine in it and it has incredible amounts of power but the speed is capped at 98 mph. Is there a chip i can remove or bypass? Or am i just doomed for the rest of my Rangers life of driving 98mph? Because u no the old song saying i can drive 55... While i cant race at 98.. The motor i have in here now can easily push 130.
Early thanks to all who reply!
Thanks
Ryan

First of all you own a TRUCK not a race car, and you should have no reason to be even going 98 in a truck. That said if you buy an aftermarket tuner, or get REAL friendly with your local Ford techs you can remove the limiter otherwise your stuck.

I know it is a truck and its not like im always going to be going 100+ i drive the speed limit 24/7 but when im out in the desert things are different on the track and raceway. And what do you mean by a aftermarket tuner? can you give me any brand names or description of what it is. Thanks for the quick reply!!!

Is one of if not the best units you can get for a RBV, other wise just search around I think other companys make them.

I used Bama and am very happy with it. I understand he is kind of hard to get a hold of sometimes though.

I heard that you can unplug the wires that regulate the rpms for each certain gear, ne1 hear neting along the lines of that???

Crazy4Bowln, I have never heard anything like that, I think you'd have a Xmas tree on your dash

The engine is rpm limited. 5250 on most Fords. It has nothing to do with "wires to each gear." As stated above, you must get a chip to modify the limiter, or have the dealer do it, and good luck with that.
