I got pulled over by a cop today and we were stopped for over an hour cause my friend was driving my truck and he didn't have a license on him. Then the cop gave me a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt. Anyway, When I left, you could imagine that I would be pretty pissed.
So I was driving pretty fast. My truck will only go 100. What is up with that. Will it increase if i get a chip? If so how much?

Hotshot, all ford trucks except for the lightning have factory speed goveners. From what I have read the govener can vary from 95MPH up to 100MPH depending on what tires you have on your truck. When I bought my truck it had a 99MPH govener on it, that drove me nuts. I got a chip for it and the chip removed the govener and it gave me a great power increase.

Driving "pissed" and it wouldn't top 100 mph -- geez, man, it probably saved your life (or someone else's)!


Reminds me of one of my favorite bumper stickers:

Driving Fast is...
...Not the same as...
...being in a hurry.

 

I dusted a V-8 (Triton emblem on black Laredo)on the interstate about a month before trading my '99 (w/ Superchip) because he cut out @ around 100..... and the "lil' 6" kept truckin'!!! He did not seem too happy at the time. I do not know where it peaked out at due to the speedo only reads a 100 mph. Made my day.... Doc

The Superchip removes the top-speed limiter. Good thing, my truck hits 3rd gear at 85 mph in auto.

Mike Troyer told me that the Superchip would allow my V6 to top at aroun 112-115 mph. Sounds good to me
