Many tuner chips can remove the speed limiter, the limiter is there to prevent you from out running your tires... if your tires are not for high speeds ( most truck tires are not) your tires can come apart at those speeds and loss of control can occur....also trucks get much more air under them then a car and can become airborne or loose steering responsiveness...
