could something like this applie to our cars? I bet if you used a resistor you could trick it.
I don't know if our cars read ecu reads speed befor or after the speed limiter but if it does were in business.
tell me the wires and I'll try it.

It might work. The Sensor signal goes from the rear diff to the ABS then if I remember correct is bussed to the PCM and the insterment cluster. If you interupt it at the PCM you loose cruise but not speedo. BUT I am not positive I will have to see the wiring diagrams. It will set a check engine light as well. Are there any sources for wiring diagrams online?

but maybe if we could wire an adjustable potentiometer inline we could make it read say 20mph lower. that way the speed cut could be 20mph later. I don't think I'll ever take my truck much over 120 anyway lets be realistic it's a truck

Message:
You can't use a resistor to fool it because the sensor puts out a sin wave that is then converted to a digital bus signal. I did some thinking and you can't interupt the signal just to the PCM because it would take it off of the data bus and then you would loose all kinds of funtion including most gauges. The only way to delay it would be to program the ABS for a smaller tire if you are not running the small tires already. You could disable the speedo by unplugging the speed sensor then reading the tach and making a calculation to see what speed you are going to what the RPM reads.
Personally I am a little scared at what the aerodynamics will do at a 120+.

What about putting in a kph speedo then calibrating it for MPH? So the PCM would be thinking kph but the speedo and odometer would be reading MPH?

D: They are lund screen fronts kinda provides a blackout look I like it. Gonna get one for the bumpper as well.
Bernd: I should have said on 5 speed manual trans only because the autos steal the signal from the trans output speed sensor I think. But now you have thinking. My truck has 4WABS and it might try and steal a signal off of one of the front sensors.

All a kph speedo is, is a gauge overlay (like flame gauges).

The metric dash is a different part not an overlay and is not interchangable. The unit of measure for the odometer is set at time of manufacture and not changeable.
Besides the speed is determined by the PCM not the speedo.

What I'm saying though, is to recalibrate it. Effectively it'd be like adding tires that are quite a bit larger in diameter and recalibrating it for those.

Basically:
100MPH real==100kph to the PCM (60MPH)==100MPH on the speedo and odometer.

This would effectively give the Dakota a 200MPH speedometer and a 185 MPH limiter. And the km/h odometer would still be accurate as a MPH odometer.

could you use those gidgets for calibrating TruSpeed when changing tire size. ie calibrate the tire size as a smaller tire than the true tire size, then the limiter would kick at higher speeds

Sucks when the truck is still pulling good and wham there is the limiter. I thought you had the ASE chip in your truck that eliminated the speed limiter. I will try and remember to take a look at work today.

ASE, Mike Leach, B&G Chrysler Specialists, and KRC Performance can help remove the speed limiter (as well as many other custom programs as well).

Hey Bernd I just had a thought yours is a '97 with the speed sensor in the rear of the trans. I think what is happening in your truck is that when you disable the speed sensor, in the trans, that the ABS is still reading speed to the computer through the speed sensor in the rear diff. So you would have to disable that sensor as well to defeat the limiter. The computer would be completely blind as to what speed it was going. My truck on the other hand all you would need to do is pull the fuse in the box for the abs and that would blind my computer. The only distraction would be the ABS light that would come on. You may have a fuse you could pull with the ABS as well.

If I remove the ABS fuse on my 2000 4.7L Auto, it should remove the limiter?

Should do it. I haven't tried it yet though. Will loose things like cruise and speedo. If you know what rpm you are at, at the speed limit there are no problems.

BEWARE!!

Message:
BEWARE... Those of your with AUTOMATIC trannies (45RFE)on the 4.7L engine.

The signal from the rear axle not only feeds the speedo and ABS. It is used to program the clutches within the 45RFE transmission.

SHORT EXPLANATION: The 45RFE computer constantly motitors the input shaft speed and the output shaft speed and determines the "slippage" of the clutches within the tranny. A signal is then applied to the clutch solenoids until the slippage is eliminated. Altering the signal from the rear axle (output shaft of tranny) may destroy the tranny clutches over time.

I locked up my brakes and skidded about 100 feet, still look at the skid marks to prove it didnt work. Dont know if i should take it to the dealer, something tells me know way for them to really test it unless they go fast and lock up the brakes and i dont want them to do it.
