This is something that my guy just learned about with his 2020 GMS Sierra SLT- this was never disclosed anytime or anywhere  during the selling of this truck.  THIS SHOULD BE  FULL DISCLOSURE to the customer.  Way to go GMC! now this a serious issue not knowing!  At least Corporate knows🤫- not the consumer! 

 

 

LMAO.  Most every vehicle has some sort of speed limiter either electronically controlled or drag limited.  

 

The owners manual clearly states that a limiter exists.  Page 156 in the GMC book.  GM covered there ass letting customers know that one exists.

Vehicle Speed Messages SPEED LIMITED TO ****** KM/H (MPH) This message shows that the vehicle speed has been limited to the speed displayed. The limited speed is a protection for various propulsion and vehicle systems, such as lubrication, thermal, brakes, suspension, Teen Driver if equipped, or tires.

And how is this a serious issue?  I tend to think that driving 100 + mph is a much more serious issue for the most part.

NHTSA reports; "For more than two decades, speeding has been involved in approximately one-third of all motor vehicle fatalities. In 2018, speeding was a contributing factor in 26% of all traffic fatalities.

 

Further from the CDC:  In 2016, 10,497 people died in alcohol-impaired driving crashes, accounting for 28% of all traffic-related deaths in the United States.

 

Funny that 3 DUI's gets you jail time and a very long loss of license but there are guys that get 3 speeding tickets a year still out acting out. 

 

I find it quizzical that it is the one speeding or drinking that more times than not survives these incidents.

Speed limiters have been around since the `90`s.

 

I had GM cars in the 1980s with them.

I am actually new to the speed limiter "thing", I guess I obviously haven't street raced enough. I've reached speeds between 100 to 125 with Ford's, Nissan's and GM but this is my first to hit 98mph warning.

The limits are set usually first by the tires speed rating and then by driveshaft rpms.  Our V8s can easily push us into the 130s or more depending on the vehicle.

      How to Tune 6L80 Silverado transmission

      By ballencd · Posted

      New to this forum.  Also looking to tune a 6L80 and trying to work out all the issues in my transmission swap.  I have a 6.2 diesel (1983) and have removed the TH-400 and about to put in a 6L80 with a TCM-2600 interface and don't have a clue what I doing after that.  Did you (Leatherneck/RAV3) get your slip resolved? I too hate to spend that kind of money on a tuner that hopefully I will not need too many times although from what steelerdude15 added about the HP Tuner being great for diagnostics would be a plus.  I am also from WNC but below you in Columbus.  Any helo would be greatly appreciated.

      Sounds like a smart reasonable person with common sense. Bill O’Riley never said he was just a journalist, by the way.

      It's like saying Bill O'Reilly is "just" a journalist.         Lauren Fix, widely known as "The Car Coach," is a prominent automotive journalist, television personality, and self-identified conservative. She is a frequent contributor to right-leaning networks and platforms, offering commentary that intersects the automotive industry, consumer economics, and conservative political perspectives. [1, 2, 3] Media and Commentary Network Contributions: Fix serves as the National Automotive Correspondent for Newsmax and is a frequent guest on Fox News and Fox Business. Video Platforms: She has contributed to PragerU, where she has hosted videos critiquing government mandates on vehicles. [1, 2, 3] Core Positions Anti-EV Mandates & Fuel Policies: Fix regularly critiques government subsidies and mandates for electric vehicles (EVs), framing them as impractical and burdensome to the average consumer. She advocates for consumer choice and supports traditional internal combustion engine vehicles. [1, 2, 3] Economic Analysis: Her commentary often emphasizes the impacts of fuel prices, inflation, and federal regulations on drivers. [1, 2, 3] Political Alignment: On her public channels, she actively supports deregulation, "drill baby drill" energy policies, and the removal of government restrictions on auto sales and manufacturing. [1, 2] For analysis from Lauren Fix on how consumer automotive choices can align with political leanings:

      Wouldn't swapping out the original AFM/DFM parts for a complete Delete Kit be the best route to go if one could afford to go that route?

      It comes with directions but yes, generally, it's the same.  Also, get you the dipstick stuff to install dipstick so you have one.
