You cannot load just the speed limiter removal with the Superchips unit.
You pretty much have two options:
The first is to drop the 400 bucks and buy a Predator; with this you can adjust the transmission shift firmness AND get rid of the limiter, while it will still be safe to run your Edge module since the engine files will not be loaded. This will also enhance the performance and durability of your transmission. That is what I am currently doing now, and it works great.
The second is to install a switch on circuit going to the fuse for the speedometer/cruise control function on the truck. If you install a switch inline with the power going to it (consult your owners manual for the fuse diagram) you can kill the speed limiter by killing power to the speedometer.
BDPower also sells small box that installs inline on the x2 computer connector from the PCM unit to FICM unit that will disable the speed limiter; I think it runs a little shy of 200 dollars.
My vote is just to pick up a Predator from Motorhaven.
