If I get a Wait4Me PCM tune, will they be able to remove the speed limiter? 98 is just lame.

Also, will it cost extra for them to reprogram it for bigger tires?

Thanks.

The dealer does this or can I take mine somewhere to get it done?

 

Some will some won't. The ones that will, will only do it if you have tires on it rated for the speed.

Not sure what your asking. The dealer should recalibrate your speedo for tire changes, I dont see why they wouldnt. But no, dealers will not remove the top speed limiter. Dealers wont do anything to the PCM to modify your vehicles factory performance.

98 MPH is lame on a 5000 pound 4X4 with marginal brakes? Are you kidding me? You actually want to drive one of these trucks over 100MPH? I could see if you did some suspension work - well a lot of suspension work - put some nice tires on, upgraded the brakes and steering - and found someplace legal to do it. Otherwise, it's just very stupid and very dangerous - and any cop that might be lucky enough to catch you doing it is going to not only arrest you but also impound your truck AND show up in court to make sure you get screwed.... you can count on that. Don't mean to lecture - but man.... use your head.

I don't know about your brakes, but mine work just fine.

Someone looking for a corvette? LOL! C'mon, guys......it's a PICKUP! If you want to mod it for tires, and torque for towing, then that's GREAT!!

BUT speed????? I dunno......respectfully, that's plain wrong for this kind of vehicle.

 

With regards to the tune, I sent them an email a couple of days ago, and haven't heard back yet.....it looks like a good investment!

 

With bigger tires, though......make sure you can full turn without rubbing.

Ever check out the stopping distances those bad boys put out at 70MPH? Now, compare the stopping distance of your truck to a car with a good set of brakes. Now, imagine the distance it would be from 100MPH. Then at 115MPH. Then pretend your mother or your wife or your kid is in that car up ahead or walking near the road because their car broke down - or whatever. Would you want me tear assing by at 100MPH in a 5000 pound truck that is nowhere near as stable as a car? Me neither. The brakes are good for a truck - for a truck.

I know my truck could easily go 120, but I'd never know because my speedometer only goes to 100mph.. :cheers:

I'll just take Justin's word that he moved it up. Not to mention it's probably not the best idea with an 8 year old aluminum drive shaft.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
