Is there a way with forscan to change max speed limit. My truck speed limit cut's out at 105mph. Does anyone know if changes can be made in the IPC to increase max speed?

As my old auto shop teacher used to say "well, the speed limit is 65, so that shouldn't be a problem!"

I bet there is somewhere, for Police Interceptors.

The speed limiter is because the truck tires are only rated for 105 MPH. or 170 KPH. I learned this from a GM mechanic a few years back when my 2011 F150 would cut out at 160 KPH. I guess lawyers have gotten involved as well.

Leave a bit earlier so you don't have to rush so fast

Wanna race on that?
My truck runs perfect at 95 to 100 mph down the freeway but there is a point where it is time to choose a completely different platform or make major modifications to your current truck to avoid having a life changing situation make an appearance by pushing something past it's designed parameters.

Might be time to buy a car instead with tires rated for higher speeds, son. F-150's are not race cars.
I maxed my truck out to 105 or whatever the max is and I did not enjoy it. That's a shit ton of weight flying down the road without the maneuverability of a race car.

I know that tuners can remove speed limiting , Ive read that if you want to go 125+ the drive line needs to be upgraded,

My F150 handles better than my 1999 Mustang GT, and the 5 speed GT went 145 MPH.

Just saying.
I'm with ya there! my 91 ranger super cab out handled my 05 mustang gt, was major disappointment my 18 f150 handles amazingly well for 5k, ive runaway from a few Audis and Mercs on twisty roads, it also has the power to keep em from catching me though I had to work hard to stay with a RT dodge challenger its a bunch of fun! I now have a roush 01 mustang gt stock 2v engine with bolt ons that was set up for Bondurant driving school it does out handle the f150 and will pull it above 70

You guys are missing the point, it's not about how well it handles, it's about the tires. The faster you go, the hotter the side walls get, no way around that its just physics. Truck tires are not rated for that kind of heat, which can lead to a blowout, which is no fun at 100+ mph. Lots of people thing speed ratings (Z, W, Y, etc) are about stickiness but they not, they are about ability to handle heat.
