my truck is the monster lol

 

Is this serious? like the F-150's are govern'd? Can it be removed?

 

Yes it can but nowadays it's electronically controlled by the computer so you would need a handheld tuner to eliminate it. Dunno if that's an option yet though on the handheld tuners as the 09 is still a new platform for them.....

 

im from oklahoma. the quote i have is from gladiator, when maximus is speaking to his men at the beginning of the movie when they are in the forest about to attack. good movie. i have a feeling that your company got it from the movie. movie is full of good quotes. haha.

oh i wasnt, but you were the third person to say soemthing bout it. i just didnt want people to think i needlessly endanger lives at whim. i dont really drive real fast. i jsut thought it was weird that i shut off like that with so much pedal play left.

 

here is a programmer, the max energy from hypertech, you can remove the top speed limiter to match your higher performence tires, or if you just want to. you can type int the Z rating and do 149+... if the engine can with blowing.

 

They need to govern them to about 70! I can see everyone now seeing how fast their Ford truck will go! Most drivers have no idea how to handle a high center of gravity vehicle barreling down the road at near 100 miles per hour! God help the poor slob that gets in their way! LOL!

 

Did 96 the other day and it went from 60 to 96 like it does from 0 to 60. There was no problem it had tons of power. It probably could do 130 or so. Tires probable couldnt do it though.

 

the tires are the least of your concerns. critical driveline speed of that two piece driveshaft is a bigger problem.

 

+1 - I would venture to say most folks have no idea how to handle any vehicle going 100+ mph, much less one that is in no way designed to do so! Blow out at that speed = fatality; not good.

 

It is primarily tire and liability related.

If you remember a few years back when the Ford Explorers were rolling over like crazy (underinflated tires was Fords excuse) and then the law suits started flying. Ford sued Bridgestone (the OEM tire on the Explorer), Bridgestone sued Ford and everyone sued both of them

To limit liability, they govern the thing (and a lot of other vehicles have speed limiters, particularly high end BMW's and MB's) to the maximum speed rating of the OEM tires (or slightly less). Ford found it hard to argue that they werent negligent when they sold a vehicle that could go faster than the original equipment provided was capable of.

Having said that, I have a Superchips tuner and I am pretty sure I can eliminate the speed limiter. Not sure why I would want to though...its pushing so much air at 90+ that it drinks fuel like I used to drink beer when I was 21 years old
