This is my 8th Ranger over the years, I love them.... BUT Ford has the speed limiter set on it to 92 mph on this 2001 Edge extended cab....ridiculous for a
4.0 L SOHC angine with a 5 spd OD automatic transmission. It smokes the Michelins off the line, and I get 55 in 1st gear, 92 in 2nd, and then it shifts to 3rd, 4th, 5th and OD, staying at 92 mph, and nobody makes a chipset that removes the speed limiter for my year engine, grrr! It redlines at 5600 rpm, so it might possibly turn 125-130 mph IF they didn't have that stinking chipset programmed so low. I am embarrassed when a Yugo or a Metro passes me at 90. I am ready to snatch out the 4.0 and swap to a 5.0 or 4.6 so I can at least get speed parts and programmed chips for it. Anyone tried this swap to a V8?- posted
