cheap as in i dont have to spend $$$$$ to git rid of the limiter. BUT theres probably not any thing out there that dont cost $$$$. i dont want to get the tuner, i have read that they dont work very well but i dont know either way. i put a super chip in my 1992 truck and it just used more gas, didnt go no faster in the 1/4 mile i raced it both ways at the track

That sux! i mean i would never drive that fast if it was unsafe. But 100 m.p.h. in a 120 mph speedometer? I remember the taurus is limited to 110 also and i read through motor trend one day and the road tests also say governed too 110 mph i though they were wrong. Now as i see the truck is actually limited to 110 
i also read that the new fusion limited 107 as it was put in 4th place when motor trend was doing the comparing of mid-size sedans between the sonata,accord and camery which all went up to about 150 mph.

Ugh hope that will not happen any time soon !
All the there other cars in the side by side comparison all had speed limiter and were going 150 mph! I mean i would not mind speed limiters at all they would just have to be set at a reasonable speed not 100 mph. Come on ford.....

Had an 04 FX4 and now an 05 Lariat, both topped at 102-103mph. The 05 even had a pcm reflash and still is same top end. Super tuner on the way will take care of that though.
If you run LT tires I can't see why you would worry about much higher. I had to swerve to avoid a deer at about 75mph and almost rolled the truck. Kinda gives you a new perception on 100mph rides in a 4x4 truck.
A new 06 with the 20" scorpians may be a different story though....
