raced a 99' 4.3 L V-6 Blazer today . he was in the fast lane going slow on the freeway so i moved into the slow lane to go around him . he decided he didnt think he wanted me going around him so he stood it to the floor . i proceeded to pace him (knowing his govener/rev limiter would kick in at 95mph) when he lost all power i laughed my *** off and moved over in front of him

 

Ha ha, knowledge is power. I raced one of those once. We were pretty much neck and neck, until i stopped for a red light which he flew right through.

I get scared going over 80

 

My mom doesn't let me go past 25

 

I get scared doing....UNDER 80

 

I don't know how fast i go because i pull lucky fuse number 8 my speed limiter shuts me down a little to much on long hauls.

 

odd . i have no speed limiter ??

 

really well you suck j/k

Mine shuts down at about 100 as soon as i turn the key again or pop the clutch it starts right back up always does it and its a real pain to steer.

 

I raced a 98 infinity qx4 (supercharged) all the way to about 115 then I hit my rev limiter also hit it in 1st gear (auto) at about 50mph I HATE IT

 

well if you have a tach and you don't wanna hit that limiter pull fuse number 8 but you really can't resell the truck because the odometor shuts down to my truck has 280000 on it and it says i have 109000 because before me my father pulled the fuse alot. But hey what you going to do.Oh and indoor lights go out so do power mirrors and the bed light dies. I think that is all.

 

maybe it is on a 95 . but on my 90' i dont believe i have a speed limiter . i've had the speedo all the way back around to the d for od , i figured i was doin bout 115 ?? i've had the tach up to bouts 4600 rpm's (thats where it shifts when i am at WOT ). no problems . hasnt cut out on me yet

 

Speed limiter...I don't think I have one on my 96 cuz I do well over 100 a some days.

 

I don't know about '91 and older, but since 1992, all Ford vehicles have a built in speed limiter. It varies for different vehicles, but F-150's tend to cut out around 105. The first time mine went off, I thought I blew up the engine. Freaked me out until I realized what it was. Installing that JET ECM chip eliminated it, but now that the chip is gone, the limiter is back. The cool thing is that with the 10.5 x 31's, I'm actually going closer to 115 when it thinks I'm going 105.

I also could only go as high as 105 MPH, the only way I could tell was my friend was in a BMW and we both had Talk-abouts on the freeway. I had both a 302 and a 351W, and I believe both had enough juice to go past 110, if the limiter was removed. Blame it on the JUICE! OJ that is.

 

Drink apple juice. O.J. kills.

Take care,
