Disabling speed limiter on 2000 7.3L

Hello all. First time post but even before that got some great advice through searches about how to fix the sloppy shifter (the two torx screws underneath the steering column coming loose)

but I can't find a concrete answer on the following:

We have a 2000 F250 7.3L that we wish to disable the speed limiter on for custom use on private roads. It tops out at around 96 but we'd like to be able to do 120, nothing outlandish. The vehicle is being modified and will have higher rated tires, etc.

I have a hypertech III controller on my own 7.3L truck but it does not have this feature. I do want to reprogram it similar to what the hypertech does in addition to removing the speed limiter.

Any advice let me know. Doing a search here did not turn up any good answers, one person thought the Hypertech III would do that but it does not for this model year.

Thanks,

-Mike

Sct tuner will turn off the speed limiter and also give you the ability to run custom tunes and with the livewire give you all the gauges you need besides fuel pressure.

Some tuners remove the speed limiter, others don't. But tuning is the only way to do it. There's a function in the PCM calibration that has to be changed in order to remove the speed limiter.
