Removing Governor
Hey everyone I am the owner of a 93 Ford F-150 with a 4.9l. I was wondering if anybody knows how you can remove the governor. I have heard of disconnecting the speed sensor but then of course you loose the speedo. I am looking to build this truck into a street/strip machine but with a governed speed of 86 mph I can't do much. If anybody knows anything and can help thank you.

This conversation about governor's popped up a few months ago. I believe the ECU governs the vehicle to 96mph.

The only real reason to comment on an old thread is to add good information. I search a lot before I ask a stupid question. These trucks are old and there is a lot of old thread out there. Many of them have helped me.

A governor in our trucks is different than the speed limiter.
The 385 series and diesel have an electronic governor that is built into the EEC that can run a PTO off the transmission.
When the PTO is under load, the governor will up the RPM of the engine.
All EEC-IV have an Engine RPM/Vehicle speed limiting flag with
