Speed limiter
My truck (93 f150 4.9 5sp) tops out @ 99/100 mph according to my GPS unit. Question is, Is their a way to bypass the oe speed limiter or change the limit?

I hate to disagree here....
I absolutely do not recommend going any faster, but there is a way. Mine has a bad VSS sensor in the rear end, and my speedometer bounces around like mad at a high speed. Well since the computer isn't getting an accurate reading from the VSS, it doesn't stop at 99. I've actually had it up to 115-120 or so (buddy was following me in his Civic.) I was on OD with the TC locked up, pulling about 3100 RPM.
But I do not under any circumstances recommend it. Theres a reason they put limiters on our trucks from the factory.
