98 Mph
OK Predator Guys, Why can't I get over 98 MPH (Not that I actually tried.... )
with the 65 HP Tune?
Is this the Tuner, or the Factory?

I have the predator and have been able to pass 98 mph. You need to go to the 65 hp tune and modify it by removing the speed limiter.

Do all of the PSD's have this limiter? I have an 04 F-350 and have been over 100.

That's interesting because last night I tried to see how fast I could get my 05 up to, and it pulled hard until it hit 99.1 on my GPS and flattened out. I didn't know they were limited.

That's disappointing! Why should I be limited to plodding along at 98 MPH, LOL?

You need to go to the modify tunes section of the Predator when installing the 65hp tune. It will give you the option to remove the speed limiter. When I first got my '03 it had no speed limiter on it til they flashed it the first of several times--then 98 was it. All the factory "tunes" have the speed limiter. The Pred will remove it if you use that option.
