Limiter

08 F-450 with DPF delete and a SCT tuner/chip.


I thought installing the tuner would delete my speed limiter(It did on my 02 with a Edge)?


Got passing a long line of traffic the other day and it wouldnt go over 130 kmp's almost cause a wreck I should have had more juice available than that?

Try turning the key to the start position when you need a little extra speed. The starter won't engage because it is in gear but the computer (and limiter) shuts off while key is in start position.

I wonder if it's limiting from speed, or RPM?

F450's I've been in run pretty high RPM, and I haven't had one of them up to 130 km/h because of the load on them.
I almost think you'd be red lining it?

you mean no one here has ever had there truck to 78 mph before?


Parkland I don't think it was anywhere near redlining , Im not sure what it was because I was watching what I was doing but the engine still sounded normal.


It wouldn't go 1 kmp past 130 kmp , it stay right on 130.


Im sure these trucks should be able to go faster that 130kmp/78 mph?
I got a Suzuki mini truck that will do 70 mph


Does anyone know what the cutout/ limiter is on a stock truck?

The Stock limiter on a f450 is 80 mph witch with 4.88 gears is right at 3000 rpm. So you were probably on the limiter. Iam not sure you would want to run the past 3000 rpm for very long.

The motor will go past 3K rpm.


It is limited due to the tires.


You could squeeze another 500 rpm easy

I just bought the ol lady a hi-jet mini truck 4x4 5 speed. She loves it, and its perfect for around town galavanting.
Awesome fuel mileage too.
She ordered camo wrap and were trying to find atv wheels / tires that will fit.
