Remove Speed Limiter??

Yes ----- you have an accident the black box data on your truck will sink you in court. It will all be there for examination.

I refuse to call crashes and collisions "accidents", but be that as it may.

If/when I crash, either the ashes or casket will have to appear in court. And the casket would only apply if they find enough parts of me to warrant the use of one.
Of course, the ashes may be too mixed up with the remains of the vehicle to collect.

How can we remove Speed Limiter?
Further, how can we remove Speed Limiter without voiding warranty? Probably impossible.

This thing is too easy to get to 118 (I didn't even try 120 once I felt the limiter kick in.)

I can’t speak for the TRX (yet), but my Raptors 107mph limiter was gone with my Goosetune via Cobb access port…

That's not my problem.

That's not my problem.

Reminds me of that expression... "but that's a problem for future me." or like a buddy of mine used to say "I told my kinds not to expect any inheritance. If there's any money left when I die, I did something wrong."

Please...do tell. PM if necessary.

Yes let me know how to eliminate this speed limiter if you can please

Nah I think I'll just do what I want.

I have that tattooed across my forehead.

I’m going to pull the limiter once I go in for more power. It hits 118 like nothing and doesn’t feel shady. I think it has another 20-30 in it stock. I also get annoyed overtaking and hitting the limiter. Plus no tuned Raptor is going to eat my lunch on the top end

Hey punctuation police, it's "aunts" not "ants" that you're snorting

Dang, it is as I expected. The speedo must be calculating entirely off the ABS tire sensors and the tire size. This means even though the gear ratio is adjustable with the Tazer it has no effect on the speedo. (Does raise the question, why even be able to change the gear ratio in the computer? What does it effect?)

The smallest tire size selectable is 26.06 which does not get us low enough.

1mph = 1.6093kph or a 62.13% ratio so we needed to get to a tire size of 21.76 to make our adjusted mph = kph. If we could set the tire size to 21.76" then we could change our speedo over to KPH and it would read accurate mph readings

I changed gear ratio from 3.55 to 5.71 (62.13%) which would also be that magic number and it doesn't alter the speed at all.

So u was able to get it over 118 by these alterations

Ok, sorry guys. I made a quick post when I knew I was nearing the 30 min mark but I was still driving home at that point so I didn't go into detail.

So, 6 months ago I bought a Tazer DT and had just never installed it, it had sat on my desk at work since receiving it about a week before my truck actually arrived. Well I stumbled across this thread this morning and it got me thinking, I'm pretty sure you can adjust tire size with the DT. Told the wife I had to run to the office, got to work, updated the Tazer, installed it in the truck, made the adjustments. Power cycled the truck to save the settings and I was off. Pulled out, ran up and set cruise to 60 MPH, GPS showed I was doing 73. NICE IT WORKED. Next thought was, while doubtful, if the truck communicates with the UConnect then the speed limiter may have access to GPS speed so I had to try 118MPH on the speedo as well. In "Mexico" obviously! Truck at 117 to keep from hitting limiter, GPS at 142! I turned around, tested it down and back again just to confirm! Honestly, If I had a better place to test I would have gone further because I could ease off and back into it again and the truck still pulls pretty decent from 135 to above 140 again.

So short of it, adjust your tire size and/or gear ratio which both go into the trucks speedo calculation.

Now for the few annoyances, your speedo is clearly off by a percentage of your tire ratio, as well as your trucks estimated fuel usage, mileage, etc. Nothing that is critical but obviously not a great long term solution. In the case you are at the track, or just feeling particularly rowdy for the afternoon, adjust as you see fit. If you only wanted to adjust it up to say 125 then the percentage it is off makes your normal driving still be VERY close, ie. 63.5mph vs 60 on the dash.

Obviously your speedo is off with this workaround, but if your trying to do 140 in a truck you clearly aren't concerned with speeding so

Shoot me a text tripleB 913 755 8068 I have some questions

The first reason is the tires - and unless you are willing to go the rubber band way, you will be hard pressed to find tires that are rated fast enough. Next is the suspension that is not stiff enough to speeds higher then 120-130.
But hey its your truck, if you want to try and remove the limiter go ahead. I'm sure the one time you'll do 130 or 140 (which is where I believe the truck will end up without a limiter) you'll be fine.....

This is my 2nd TRX and it’s not whether I intend to push it to its limits it’s the fact that I paid for a badass truck and that’s the glory of it otherwise I’d bought a Basic 1500 Ram it’s the fact that it can. We have 2 Demons and they don’t have a governor. It should be the buyers option I mean, at least if we’re gonna pay that much for a vehicle we should have the option.

The tires are only rated for 118mph. Do you think an auto manufacturer would open themselves up to a lawsuit from someone having their tires fly apart by design?

 

[Me badd]

My 2 cents! My 22
PCM unlocked ...
Sport mode suspension.
Factory tires.
The truck was handling perfect no issues. Yes I was on straight road and no I would not want to try to make a turn at that speed.
Truck was pulling strong and I was going for 150 but my 360 escort went off so I slow down. This was in 50 degree weather and only a short distance. I was very impressed on how well the truck handle. I have a 24 now and I will be unlocking the PCM soon.
Got to love the T Rex right!!!
