Do you happen to know also on fuel MPG I have 32 gallon tank. When I use 22 gallons truck goes to low fuel indicator and also if I'm getting 20mpg indicator doesn't show 600 miles to empty. It shows 300 and stays at 300 until I use half tank of gas and then starts to go down.. I just traded f150 in and that fuel consumption indicator was dead on up to 1 gallon of gas and 10 miles left until empty

Lose not loose. Loose means not tight. Lose is the opposite of win.. Go back to school kid

yes, it is a speed limiter. you cacan buy a programmer, and take it off. The truck is limited to that speed because of a factory safety standard. Mine stopped at 105, and i took it off with a programmer, and i hit 140 in mine. It did take a lot of road though.

The rev limiter is also there to protect the motor from over reving, but you cacan go have it tuned and it will not only rev over that, but also come back faster so you dont have to wait for it to slow its rpms down.

Just turn your traction control off. It turns off the rev limiter
