[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 676500, member: 52972"] Most 2001 Job1 Sport Trac's did not have the speed limiter set. I had mine over 100 MPH. Later Ford sent out a service advisory to the dealers to reprogram the ECU to limit the top speed to 97 MPH. This was often done without the owners knowledge when he took the truck to the dealer for any kind of service, even a simple oil change. I took mine back for the hood striker recall, and when I got it back, it cuts out at just shy of 100 MPH. Also remember that there is some speedometer error so if you are able to hit 100 on the speedometer, it's may only be a high reading speedometer. I'm sure there are a few 2001 Sport Trac's that are still on the roads that have nver had the 97 MPH speed limiter programmed into their ECU's, either because it was overlooked by the dealer or they just never took it to a Ford Dealer for service. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
