Depends on what it is. If it's a van, like the G3500, you'll have to get the ECM reflashed at a dealership with new parameters put into it. If it's something like a Top Kick, it'll typically have either a Cat or Cummins engine... you find a truck service center which has the corresponding software, they'll plug in to the engine ECM through the SAE J1939 port, and disable it that way... don't remember the process for Cat engines that well, but it's easy with Cummins engines and the Insite software... you literally go to "Features and Parameters" and select "disable" from the drop-down menu next to where it says "Road Speed Governor".
You'd have to change the ECM settings. To 'disable' the speed governor, you'd have to disable the ECM, which, in turn, disables the whole truck. If you're asking a question like this, chances are, you really have no business messing with those settings, especially since it's probably in reference to someone else's truck.
There isn't a way to disable the governor. The computer takes input from the engine speed and vehicle speed, when it reaches a certain point (actually about 97MPH) the computer shuts off the fuel injectors and ignition at the coil util the speed drops back down.
You'd have to reprogramme the engine controls. Disable the computer, and you disable the entire truck.
Yes, plus it has to have software compatible with the motor.
You need to change the engine ECM settings.
It alows your truck to top out at a higher speed then it would with it on.
Like I told the guy who wanted to know this about Sterling trucks, tampering with the governor on a fleet truck will get you fired. OTOH, if you bought the truck and it's still got the governor on it, just take it to the Volvo dealer and have them turn the speed up all the way. I wouldn't remove the governor; the next buyer might want it. But if you turn it up to about 85mph, it will do the same thing as taking it off.
Speed is controlled by the ECU (Computer).
You have to change the parameters in the engine ECM.
Change speed? It has to be done at a shop. They plug computer to truck and change speed with the computer.
Not sure of your question but if it is does a truck have a governor the answer is loosely yes. Cars and trucks have computers that govern their top speed by shutting off the fuel supply when they reach a preset speed.
The speed controls are programmed into the engine ECM. If it's not your truck to do this with, the ECM is probably password protected.
