It must have been the dealer who fixed it, correct? Since the only way to tinker with the speed (and rev) limiter is with a computer chip or tuner.
You might want to check out the Computer Chips and Tuners Forum if you have specific questions about which one is best for you.

Nope, its computer controlled as Rockledge mentioned. I don't really think I'd want to drive that fast in a Ranger anyway. My Mustang? Sure, it hardly feels like you're going that fast. I'm perfectly content just motoring around under 80 or so in the truck. I'm not entirely confident that the suspension or brakes can handle 100+ mph speeds.

Its not that no one is helping you, its that there is nothing short of a chip program that is going to allow your ranger to go past... let me guess 90 mph. Save up for a few more weeks and get a chip or a tuner. No secret is being kept here, I promise.

i don't have any pics but i will soon it's smooth though 16'' chrome rims decked with chrome and black is all windows r blacked out and the back window has a checkered flat and the bed cover has a checkered flag on it with strait pipes sounds as good as most v8's supercab black.

Hey now, take it easy on him...
As long as it isn't one of those goofy looking 3 foot tall triple-decker ricer specials and done right, he may be on the right track.
Funniest thing I ever saw was one of those $250 wings fly off the back of a Sentra doing 70 on the hiway. Plus, since he's RWD, the wing is indeed in the right place to help keep the rubber to the ground.
