Speed Control Device
I am a new owner of a 2 wheel drive Ford Ranger Edge Pickup with 3.0 v-6 engine and it is a 5 speed. I noticed one day while I was "pushing" the truck that when I got to 90 MPH that the truck would do this little hesitation. It never stopped or anything but as long as I tried to 90 it would do this. As soon as I dropped to about 85MPH it would run fine with no heistations at all. I mention thsi to a froend of mine and they said that it may be some type of speed control chip on the truck that prevents it from doing 90 or better. I would like to know if this is true and if it is. Is there anything that I can do to remove it. I thank you in advance for your help.

About the 90 being high RPM...it's really not that much. I think once I pop it into 5th I'm only pulling about 3500 RPM's. Maybe I'm just used to that being low because I've always owned OHC 4 poppers.
