[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 551250, member: 52972"] Daniel, Some early model 2001 Sport Trac's did not have the Speed Limiter set when they left the factory. Ford send out a recall letter that the Auto-transmission output shaft bearings could fail if the vehicle was operated at sustained speeds in excess of 97 mph. My original 2001 Sport Trac did not have the Speed Limiter set and I could exceed 105 mph. Whenever the owner would take their vehicle back to Ford for any servicing, they would reset the speed limiter to 97 MPH. All vehicles from the factory have that 97 MPH speed limiter except a few early 2001's that have never made it back to the dealer. The only way to remove the speed limiter is to add a chip to the PCM or hace the PCM reprogrammed. If your 2004 model is factory stock, you will not be able to exceed 97 MPH, except going down a steep hill, or you have changed your tire size and getting a lot of speedometer error. Or perhaps you bought the vehicle used and the previous owner had the PCM reprogrammed or has installed a performance chip. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
