Turn the key forward before you hit the speed limiter. You have to hold it. The starter wil not engage. All of your gauges will drop to 0 and the radio will go off. But the truck will keep on pulling. I have did it a couple of times. And when I let off the key the speedo was reading around 120.
This trick does not work on the 06 07's. The BDTD 2.4 version has a speed limiter adjustment and a rev limiter adjust as well as the tire size adjustment. You can set your speed limiter from 55 mph up to 200 mph. Yes it works I have turned out my 120 speedo and no defueling.

I was just looking at BD's site and i don't know that I want to replace the Smarty with the BD. The BD apparently does what I'm looking for but.... then I can't use Smarty which has the power I want. 
Can anyone say the BD delivers better or more power than Smarty ? If so, I may drop the $500 but if not, I'd rather pay Marco to write a program for the Smarty.

On the '03-'05, how does pulling the ABS fuse (or switching it off in our case) defuel the engine?
... and I thought the Betas were fueling past 3500rpm?

I'm going to call Bob tomorrow and see what he says about that beta's and their fueling. I could have swore one of the softwares got rid of the speed limiter... I could be wrong.

We'll just have to wait and see. I'll put my money on Marco. It might take awhile, but I'm sure he'll get it done. Once you know something can be done, it becomes much easier to do.

The BD puts out as much fuel as the smarty and just wait till buddy gets the pressure added in next week you wont go back. Ive had mine upwards of
120+ mph at 3700rpms and it still had more in it. If you have the head to hold it with 3.73 gears at 3900rpms you should be able to get 130+ without even adjusting tire size down then you may get 140+.

Check the BDTD download page, Quote "ADDED SPEED LIMITER ADJUSTMENT 50-200MPH DODGE CUMMINS 2003-2007" I think I can finally go to sleep, my partners lame Silverado will never pass me again. I'm so happy my face is going to crack !

good luck with that. I've been told that it doesn't work and the BD can cause total havoc on you system. Possibly even fry the ECM. I'd do a search on BD problems before you go buy one.
Obviously Creed had some luck and I'm not saying what I heard is the gospel .... just something to keep in mind.
you notice there a lot of vendors here and not one jumped in to say " We have just what you need "
Again, from what I've been told.... the speed limiter part of the ECM is a deep dark secret that D/C would rather not have anyone into. That's why most boxes don't or can't deal with it.

when I had a programmer for a gasser you could choose if you had Z rated tires or not, then it would remove the speed limiter on the truck. wonder why they cant just add that on for a diesel?

someone mentioned you can lower your tire size in smarty to gain a few more mph but, I don't think it would be much.
In talking with Bob.... it's very possible to see something in the smarty soon that will help. I think they've been concentrating on getting things moving for the 2nd gen guys. They've been waiting a long time.

My money's on Marco / Bob / Smarty having the speed eliminator added to smarty with the next major update (incorporating the beta programming, speed eliminator,...)....Marco's comming out in the next month or so.....something good will come of it! :-) If you own a smarty already, i'd hurry up and wait for a couple of months.....
