Interesting....my '04 is governed to 91 mph.
The solution? Slow down.

mines all over the place at its limiter (90). Not to mention its turning at super-high RPMs. I'm glad for the restriction.

115mph out of 2.5 tdci lol

The V6 engines are limited to 91....why the larger engines are limited to slower speeds does not make any sense to me...another baffling move on Ford's part. and Scooby Stew, our rangers here in the US are a little bit crappier than the UK ones, id love a TDCI, but they dont sell them here

Why anyone would want to go that fast anyway in a 4x4 pickup doesn't make any sense to me...

well mine will do well over a 100mph but the speed limiter kills me and im doin that in 4th gear at like 3000 rpm so i no i can do well over it just if i can bypass it. o yea by the way im going to be putting a supercharger on mine.

remove you speed sensor, going over 100 with a stock ranger is deadly, they are not made to handle at the speed

98blownranger i have not messed with my engine that is standard on uk rangers

I didn't say anything about your engine, going over 100 is not smart your shocks,springs,brakes sway bars....are not made for that speed, yes your motor may have the power to do it but that doesn't mean you should. you can also just eat cookies for lunch but that also would not be a good idea, just because you can doen't mean you should

Jay FX4 · #15 07-04-2009, 04:57 PM

I wouldn't want to blow a tire at 100mph in anything...but especially a pickup.
