Someone may know otherwise, but I haven't heard of anyone flashing the memory on a Ranger and removing or adjusting the speed limiter. What do I recommend? Leave it alone; these are trucks and there's hardly a reason to be going 90+ in a pickup.

Its hard to understand how it would ever go 90+ with that bug bubble on the hood LOL. You will have to cip it or re-program it.
