Governor SUCKS!!

Irrelevant... Something bad always happens when you least expect it. The speed limits are irrelevant. I don't understand the need of pushing your vehicles speed beyond reasonably safe speeds. UNLESS IT'S IN THE DIRT! YEAH!!!!!!! i'M A HYPOCRITE! Oh well... But seriously irrelevant.

Oh and arnold schwarzenegger does suck!

imo....racing on public streets only demonstrates ones total lack of respect and lack of concern for others on the road. its a public street....stop being an asshat.

Let me clarify something for you!!!! I was at the track guys! I have a clean driving record.. I dont think I have gone over 75-80 on the freeway with this truck. I just wanted to know how to disable the damn thing..

the speed limit here is 75.
When I'm doing 95 in the vette on a wide open highway.....thats not even a stretch for that vehicle(it can do 170), and I can STILL outstop/handle/accelerate pretty much anything driving on the road. At 95. So that vehicle at 95 is probably safer then alot of the rattletraps people drive at 70.

I do 85 in the truck. Its comfortable. Its not a problem. its only 10 over. Highway Patrol (DPS) starts pulling people over at 11mph over. I get passed by mini vans all the time. With kids. in Car seats. All the time.

For Christ sake, 95 is only 20 over. (here anyway)


So its all perspective. Lets not get into a flame war over it. If there's no one around, and loads of open space....who cares how fast you go. Worst that will happen is a single vehicle accident, and then whoops, that sucks, your fault.



Your right, you did, and its unfortunate. I don't know why people feel the need to tell people what to do on this forum, but they always seem to. And this thread will go down hill, feathers will get ruffled, it will get locked, and its all a shame.


if you had searched you would have found the answer to the governor question(its been discussed before) But I'll let you off this time

This is exactly correct.. But thats the way it is.. I was hoping that within the bashing, someone would answer my question on here.. I was at work and didnt really have a whole lot of time to search. I later(at home) found the answer I was looking for. For some reason I find myself wanting to go out and crash @ 45 on the freeway just to prove someone wrong on here// 90% of the accidents that I have seen involved someone that was going to damn slow..

There is no way you hit the speed limiter on a 1/4 mile track with your truck, since you were obviously not road-coursing it. Period. Been there, done that, have the slips from the drag strip. Best you got was around 75mph trap speed. Even if you had the SC it would have only be a few ticks faster. I've never clocked it but I wouldn't be surprised if it took nearly a mile to accelerate up to 100.

If anyone wants to cry and whine about speeding, try driving the speed limit on the atchafalaya swamp freeway (better known as I-10) heading into Louisiana. If you aren't cruising at least 80 then you will be pushed off the road. I remember cruising through there with traffic at 90+ more than a few times. There are no shoulders, no breakdown lanes, no exits for 20 miles, and it's all one long, continuous bridge.

When I first read the topic I was think about gov Rick Perry here in Texas

well I kinda had to get them to stop badgering me some how.. But seriously I was on a closed off road right by PIR(Portland International Raceway) we ran side by side @ about 50 then gunned it.. beat by a stinkin dakota that was probably chipped..

good to know you were on the track, JET can do it but i hear you have to send then your ecu so that means a few days w/o a truck, if you want it off then i say go for it and have it taken off then show that kota whos boss.

[thebrandon]

Jet is the only programmer of sorts I have found that can disable the governor, this is going to run you almost 3 grand for everything(Hardware and Software) from the prices I've been seeing.

You will also have a lifeless truck for the duration the ecu is out because you have to send it in to Jet

Well being as I was laid off my job yesterday.. I dont think Ill be doing it for a while at least... Oh well at least I know it can be done now..
