Ram 1500 governed ?

Why would anybody want to take these 6000 pound bricks around a track? I would not try to go faster in one of these things than where it’s governed.

If you want to go fast, you can spend short money on a c5 corvette with an LS motor and have a real screamer with just a little work. Blow the doors off any truck out there with no problem, and way safer around the track.
 
I have a Pulsar, and it doesn’t/can’t remove the limiter. Unless there is a hidden menu I am missing or something.
I found a setting in AplhaOBD, but that did nothing. It was something like, Speed limiter present, along that sorts.
3.21’s, have topped out this truck at 104. At 105, the limiter kicks in, throttle is nothing, you can have it literary floored and nothing.
By then, your smoking, or smoked😑 Honestly, not my best moments, but quality of drivers in my homeland make me do dumb$*1t some times…
This was with the stock Falken ATs. I now have Toyo AT3’s, so won’t being doing that any time soon.
I Was taught at an early age to respect your tires’ speed ratings. Things can go horribly wrong. Luckily with this limiter, you won’t even get close! 😂

Down the 1320, bruv.
Straight line racing.
 
Using these trucks for 1/4 mile is an equally bad idea, but if that is the OP’s intent he’s all set. There is no way he’s breaking 105 in the quarter. He will be lucky to get within the 20 mph of that!
 
Since this thread is already necroed I'll add some info.
2 tuners you can use are hptuners and diablosport. Need to send our your pcm to get unlocked to use either then can remove the limitor. Do remeber what tires you have and your surroundings.
Also the limitor is the same on all 1500s regardless of shipped tires even if you can go 20mpg more with a better tire so always check what you have before trying anything stupid.
I would guess the top speed is somewhere 150mph+
I have gone 125 and there way way more left, just not enough road or tires rated for 170.

I typically would argue against that but in this case I believe you are correct. It's response is up there with learning chat based AIs... Finding content and linking it.
And he put a bogus spam link where he linked to another's person comment, that was not in the original comment. A human typically would not do something like that except by mistake, but I think we got a bingo...
Need to click on the user and report though, just posting doesn't do anything.
 
Stupid limiter.

I hit 103mph in my sleep, uphill in the snow both ways. Or something of equally insulting value to the limiter.

Seriously tho, been eyeballing a Scrambler XP for that itch... So that's about to happen. Best $20k in toys I'll ever regret spending.

Well I think all or most folks know and understand what you said, but many like a reved up truck knowing 6000 lbs is not going to be a track vehicle. Most real honest to God muscle cars which are not Vettes or TR7>s or Mustangs which are track sport cars......the muscle car era started when Dad took the family car to the drag strip on Sunday with the boys to run 1/4 mile times and red lights to red lights in small towns not on a bona-fide track. The old 50,s ,60's muscle cars were all non track cars muscle cars only and very much fun to drive. Guess I'm telling my age here...lol. and yes, Dad would grab the trucks now and then from the farm and run them down the Quarter too! lol.
 
Was looking around for a free method to remove the electronic speed governor, but there isn’t one. While I was looking around I noticed no one knows know to remove the limiter. So here ya go this is America we can do what we want with our trucks.

On older trucks, pre 2015 you can buy a handheld tuner like a Diablo sport tuner and get full access to the ECM, TCM, and PCM to add an engine tune, transmission tune, and can remove the speed limiter, along with change lots of other things. Almost any handheld tuner will work, just make sure you read what you’re getting and it works for your truck. You can also use a software and laptop, like HP tuners which would be cheaper, you just need to buy the credits and know how to tune the car with the laptop yourself. I had a 2014 5.7 lone star 2wd with 3.21 gears on a 91 tune, transmission tune, and speed limiter delete with the Diablo sport tuner and got it up to 142mph (I have a video because my friend was filming in the car, but it won’t let me attach it. If you know how I can attach it here let me know and I will).

For 2015+ all ram trucks have locked PCMs (Power Control module) meaning you have to either send your pcm in to be unlocked by a company and then sent back (usually about a week, and truck is not drivable). I don’t know any company that would do this for our trucks, but I haven’t looked into it either. You could also do the hp tuners option with the laptop, but again you need to know how to use their software, what to change and know what your doing. Or you can buy an unlocked pcm and tuner from a company like Diablo sport (I liked them last on my last truck and never had any issues). You buy the tuner on the website, once it arrives you fill out the form for a one time pcm unlock, they send you their unlocked pcm and your good to go. You can tune and tweak/remove everything you could on a pre 2015. Here is the link for the pcm swap and tuner for 2019+ ram 1500 with the 5.7 hemi:
Keep in mind if you have warranty and show up to the dealership with a different pcm this will 100% void your warranty. If you have warranty and still want you do it you could swap the pcms before going to dealership for work, takes like 10 minutes. I still have warranty on my 24 so I haven’t done this but this is how you do it, I’m sure other companies offer pcm swaps with tuners, but Diablo sport has some of the highest hp pre loaded tunes, along with a great product that worked well for me for 5 years. Never had any issues, and issues are far and few between. You’re looking at about $700 and on these new trucks with e-torque if you have that will theoretically do 152-156mph with the tune and speed limit delete. These calculations are assuming straight perfect road with amazing weather and no wind.

And for all the people saying “it’s a truck why would you want to remove the limiter”. Or “there’s never a reason you need to go above 105mph”. Because we want to so just stfu, this is America. We paid for our 40-100k trucks and we can use them how we want. If we want to spend $700 to be able to use all the power we paid for that’s our choice. If there’s no cops and you’re on an empty road who gives a ****. The people who are complaining never go outside or are on the highways anyway. Anyway that’s the ball knowledge, hope this helps, give it a thumbs up so it’ll go to the top and people will see it.
