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.
Then there are bots. Welcome to the world of AI. Soon there might be entire threads where bots are talking to bots. That might even be entertaining for other bots.

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
