I tested mine on a flat road and hit 108mph not recommend at all trucks top speed is 112mph though. She isn't tuned

 

I guess these newer 16s are faster from factory? Vs 14-15

What tires come factory with 16s?

Its a tad fast for those P rated car tires they put on at the factory. I dont care what the speed rating is, my lawnmower has more plys.

I've switched tires.... my bfg's are rated up to 118mph, I'm not looking to go any faster then that. However it would be nice to cruise over 97 mph

I thought I read somewhere that the driveshaft in these trucks was not rated for any speed above the speed limited 98mph and would fall out??

 

I rarely get over 55mph so not an issue for me (yes I am joking). 2016 CC 1500 Denali 6.2 8spd Bolra exh/CAI/tuned I just want to have it in case I need it or if I ever get over to the autobahn........

Falling out is a bit of an understatement. There are videos on youtube of people in trucks of all brands doing dyno pulls at speeds above what the limiter would allow and the driveshaft fails catastrophically and does lots of damage.

I can only imagine the reactions of people there. How is it to get the truck serviced or repaired in Germany? Do dealerships or other shops stock parts? I have to imagine they don't sell too many pickups in Germany or other parts of Europe for that matter.

There is a certified gm shop but it's about 4 hours away near ramstein, other then that I usually handle it on me own here

Do you not get any sort of warranty on the truck?

 

Interesting that the shop is in Ramstein. I wonder if that's at least partly because of the US base there.

It is a German shop, I'm guessing it's there due to us presence as well. Being so fay I have not bothered to see what services they can provide me being in have a us spec truck although I probably should lol

      It's possible the two trucks are using different body control modules which is why yours works and the OP's doesn't.   So much in these newer vehicles depends on model/trim configurations, production date. They don't all use the same modules like back in the day.

      I forgot to answer the question as per what market mine is set to and yes I finally found that area on mine and yes its also set to America.   So here's something I realized as I wasn't looking at that part in the Sierra section until now, your right that what I see here as choice 3 under Sierra which says 07/2023-06/2026 ( 433 MHz 13542523 ) it has no choice 5 for tire pressure selection. Where as it does under the Chev choice. However I kept going down the list within the Sierra and I am really wondering if choice 9 will work for your truck as it has the same model number and hertz sensor as my truck. I would say try that choice first, if that doesn't work then jump over to the Chev section and again choose that same model and hertz choice as for some reason the Chev section gives the choice 5 of tire type/pressure selection for going back a number of years. Could very well be an Autel thing that they just didn't get the updates all done properly under Sierra but anyway first try that selection 9 I suggested under Sierra and then go from there.

      Anyone have a spare?

      Looking for this piece that holds the hose clamp in place. I have the hose clamp just not that other piece. Dealers and wrecking yards in my area will not sell just that piece. They want you to buy the whole air tube $100 +/- to get that $5 part.  that piece isn't molded to the air tube as I looked at my friends truck. It's held on by a screw and nut. I'm trying to put the OEM parts on the truck as the previous owner butchered things up installing an aftermarket CAI. It really looked homemade. 🤣 Thanks

      Ok I missed that part that yours is a GM. The strange part is that the choice for year ranges and within the year of 2026 is different on the Sierra then on the Chev for some reason as I am looking at my tool at the Sierra choices. Now I am guessing you see as to your sensor part number as it may be different on your truck for some reason and a call to GM should get you the part model number of the sensors you should have as well as which MHz your sensors are. I know mine are the ones as per what I listed but there are other choices in the Autel and got me wondering if by some chance they put different ones in your truck. Having said that, did you try using each of the choices starting from No 1 and going on down the list, not sure if that would mean shutting off the engine each time and resetting the tool and going at it again each time. Also I thought of something else which may sound retarded but if there was some stupid chance that the chev choice would work. The reason I say that is that the Sierra is showing a range up to 06/2026 for the various choices of sensors it could be where as the Chev has one choice that has that 12/2026. By the way it is possible to not run the truck and you may know that as per not pressing the brake but pressing and holding the start button for a few seconds and it lights up the dash ( its called service mode ) but that sucks battery power and if it were me doing it that way I would be throwing on a decent sized battery charger before doing it that way as killing your battery won't make you happy at me at all !.    Like I say, just a thought to try the Chev choices if you have already exhausted the Sierra choices but first it would be nice to know for sure what exact sensor model and hertz your truck uses as I assume only those choices that mention the sensor would work unless a choice that does not mention the sensor model would somehow work. Its frustrating when one is trying to use tools like this without the experience of the tool and the vehicle, as I am sure dealer techs themselves struggle with it when starting out or a new model year comes along that is slightly different.

      I tried before I updated the scan tool just incase an update messed it up, but it never worked so I updated the scan tool and it still didn't work.   Only difference is I click on Sierra not Chevrolet cause I have a Sierra.   If I click on 2026-2024 I didn't have any option to change placard, when I click on 2023 it does give me the option but when I try to do it,.it says vehicle not supported!   I have my region or market or whatever it is set to America I think, is that what yours is set to?
