Hello all,

Quick question. I have a 2012 v6, got the Airaid CAI/Sf3 tuner combo from AM, and everything's awesome, but the governor still kicks in at 114 mph. Not that I necessarily want or need to go faster, (yes, I understand, speed kills, don't waste a car/life etc. blah blah blah) but I was under the assumption that the tuner nixed the governor. How do I remove it? I saw under custom tunes/additional options it allows you to set a speed limit, highest being 125. I selected the option "No speed limit" and still was held back once I hit 114. Is there a way to just remove it altogether using the tuner/tunes? I know, you need tires rated for __ speed, etc, no, I DON'T plan on going 140mph or anything.. Just want the limiter GONE!

Thanks for your help/assistance ahead of time!

Upgrade your driveshaft first.

.....*sigh* F*** it, guess I have to call SCT to get a straight answer.

You're extremely impatient. Forum time says you waited less than an hour for a response?

Fair warning: People have had their driveshafts snap from simply removing the speed limit and driving over it. No other modifications besides the tune. You risk your life, and others, knowingly if you continue down this route.

Good luck.

I'm impatient how, exactly? The time between my original post and my reply to the first response has nothing to do with what my response stated, I'm merely tired of getting the "I'm your father, I'm concerned for your safety" response. So, thanks for also adding to the string of ridiculous replies that only further encourage me to seek others out in a response to my QUESTION. Again, I stated above in the actual thread that I have no intention of going PAST a certain speed, I would only like to know that the limiter is removed.

I appreciate your concern, truly I do, but as I've already mentioned, I'm not in pursuit of a father figure, as I already have one and have no desire to wreck my vehicle, my life, or anyone else's. I have cruise control set to 67 on my way to/from work every day, and the speed limit is 65. WOW! I'm just asking for trouble, aren't I? Oh.. wait.. I'm being impatient, correct? ;D

you can manually go in and take it off under the ADJUST SETTINGS on the device

It's as simple as plugging in you tuner, find speed limit, and turning it off...just dont hit 120 in a crowded area...

I tried that the first time I tuned it, like I said, but unfortunately it didn't seem to work. I just wanted to see if it had, hit 114, and nope, hadn't. So I guess I'll just try again! Thanks, ya'll!

z rated tires. im using sumitomo 255-18 (idk if they are z rated) from AM and ive hit 138 and it was smooth.

Not just impatient, but an impatient jerk.

This is a public forum. If you didn't want public input, you should've called SCT in the first place and saved getting your panties in a twist.

Thanks, I'm actually not wearing panties. I like how I'm a "jerk" for throwing sarcasm towards someone who was incapable of attempting to help me rather than berate me.

People do tend to answer questions that weren't asked, I suppose they mean well....

There seem to be more people around this forum that haven't had trouble with their driveshafts than those that have, I believe 2 failed on a dyno (1 was supercharged) and 1 failed on the street. Then of course we have the infamous youtube video with very little info, that everyone jumps all over it like sharks on chum!

Get a couple of safety hoops and you should be golden.

As for your original question, yes go back to the people who supplied the tune and get them to send you a new file. Tell them to check it too, you don't any screw ups with timing etc.

 

[FoolnYa]

EASY fellas! I dont have an answer for you OP, other than just call SCT. Did you feel a power increase/throttle response from the tune? Im just wondering if there was a tune loaded at all to begin with.

OT, but isn't it ironic as hell that we have 2 threads today, one about going over the limiter without a tune, and one about NOT going over the limiter WITH the tune.....

 

[JohnGaltsGal]

I assumed those who had experience with similar vehicles/tuners would be willing to share advice pertaining towards my question (as three people later did :bigthumbsup) when posted in a public forum. I do not care if someone says something completely irrelevant in response to my query, I only find it my responsibility to produce proof of their absolute lack of reading abilities, particularly when I've already made a point in stating that I have no intention of speeding. If you call a merited response "getting your panties in a twist", than so be it.

Personally, I don't give a **** what you do. The point you are missing is that, in their own way, people are trying to help you; you're just too arrogant to see it.

Ford put the limiter on the car for a reason. One suspect part is the driveshaft. People are pointing out some caveats to removing the limiter.

Forums are comprised of people with all sorts of people whose experience varies from expert to none. Most would appreciate the advice, whether they choose to use it or not.

 

[JohnGaltsGal]

Thanks! And yeah I know people "mean well", but when I've already clarified that I have no intent to be "unsafe" I'm attempting to subtley throw it out there "do NOT lecture me, Dad!" lol

 

[Blackpenguin69]

OMG! who cares if he is impatient. if you have an answer the answer it. its not like hes gunna be your son in law or something. he just wants to know quickly. damn

All those replies are apparently in another thread or in PM's, because there was only one response here and it didn't even cover the snapping driveshaft problem. That's the only reason why I bothered to. I'm not trying to be a father figure, either, I'm just contributing information as a community member. Again, whether or not you stated that you don't INTEND to go over 110mph, there is still the elevated and highly probable risk of your driveshaft snapping if you or someone else(!) did.

Given my view of the matter, it's perfectly reasonable to assess your behavior as impatient, isn't it? And I am certainly not being ridiculous. I don't think speed kills because I know it doesn't. It's poor judgment and stupidity that leads to deaths with regards to commuter vehicle collisions.

Nice ass, btw, if that's you.

A) Then please, kindly refrain from berating me.

B) I see the point, and as I've already mentioned several times (which a truly arrogant person would NOT do), I appreciate the help/advice/concern, but I came here only seeking an answer to my inquiry.

C) I understand that. Ford does a lot of things for a lot of reasons. I respect that. I choose to make modifications to my vehicle, as many people on this forum/site do, and if I blow up my vehicle, it was my own action/inaction that led to it, not yours. There are some caveats to smoking, to drinking, to having sex. Yes, I like to be aware of the numerous caveats to numerous things in numerous aspects, and I appreciate those who make said caveats known, but for possibly the eighth time I've declared it, the question deemed a simple answer, not a lecture. I don't know how to make it anymore obvious that I'm genuinely not making an attempt to be a heinous b**** or a c**tbag, but rather am trying to help you understand that I, originally, in the beginning of the thread, explained that I only wanted a simple reply.
