Default Remove the governor?

I was wondering where the governor is on a '99 Ram 1500.. 5.9L V8. I was also wondering how to remove it. My truck cuts off right now at about 120-125.... I get a little wild sometimes and it would be nice if it didn't cut it.

MP PCM will remove the mph limiter, most stock pcm's cut out by 115mph. Besides the legal aspect, best to have the suspension, tires and brakes needed to run a heavy truck at those speeds

A programmer such as Hypertech or Superchips, will allow you to up the speed limiter. If yours goes 120 already - you would be nuts to go any faster than that, or even that fast, unless you have tires rated for that speed, and suspension/ aero mods to keep it under control. We'd hate to see another 2gen Ram wadded up in a little ball........

i'd have to agree. i've driven a lot of vehicles at that kind of speed, and i'd have to say that the ram's handling at that speed is to say the least "leaves something to be desired"
