Is the profile picture of your truck with the aftermarket rims/tires?

 

Was the computer re-calibrated for the change in tire diameter?

 

85mph is above the speed limit anyway so I'm sure some will have no sympathy for you lol.

How did the truck act when it hit 85?

 

Did it feel like the fuel had been cut off, or just would not go any faster?

Maybe it is afraid, I would be in a lifted truck traveling at that speed.

maybe you just noticed the speed limitation ...it was probably detuned by who ever installed the lift, usually when you lift a truck the Driveshaft needs lengthening because the yoke slides out of the tailhousing due to the lift (simple trig equation), installer might of felt a need to slow you down before you blow the tail-shaft drag racing ... unless GM has access to the speed gov via GPS on the roof

Ours had no speed limitations and we installed a mag-ride delete kit. We have a light for the suspension service on now and it started cutting the gas at 85mph too. We believe it to be a safety so you won't drive unsafe with a suspension issue. Hoping to get it fixed asap, you may want to check yours as well.  I hope this helps.

I have the same issue with my 2017 suburban. Before I could get up past 85 mpg . Now it shuts down at 85mph like there is a speed limiter on it. I have had the tires calibrated. I also have the suspension light come on from the factory air suspension being disconnected. Have had the 6” lift for years now and 35” tires on it, it just all of sudden started happening.

      Differential covers

      By RJL1 · Posted

      I just brought home a 2020 GMC 1500 Denali.  She has 53K miles on her and I want to change out the fluids over the next few weeks.  I see the diff covers don't have drain plugs.  Any suggestions where I can pick up front and rear diff covers with drain plugs?   Thanks,   Bob

      Ac not keeping up

      By Aimatdeer · Posted

      Well, the dealership got the compressor and installed it. Air at the vents seems nice and cold as it should be. The service manager said the repair has a two year warranty and unlimited mileage. Hopefully I don't have to use it. The dealership i went to was one where I bought my 2014 half ton silverado. In 10 years and 168k miles on the truck anything I needed done and two small recalls they were always very good to me. Not a huge dealer either. I think they treat people well because they want you to come back. I have dealt with a different dealer that was too big to care about an individual. Just my two cents.

      Multigate Connector Difficult to Connect Fully

      By Another JR · Posted

      Hi All, I operate my 2021 3500 SLT most of the time with the tailgate off and in a crate because I have a slide-in camper. However, at least once a year, I take the camper off and put the tailgate back on. Recently I installed the tailgate, but had a hard time getting the connector bail to swing to the fully latched position. The connector seems to fully seat, and everything works, but the bail doesn’t swing to fully latched position.  It swings almost there but stops and I am afraid to push it any harder.    Does anyone have any advice on cleaning or lubrication or anything else I should be doing?  i know how to properly operate the connector. During the time the tailgate and connector are off, i have a double plastic bag over the truck connector secured with rubber bands to keep it clean, but it still had some dust in it this time when I blew it out with compressed air. I didn’t want to spray it with anything other than air without doing some research. Thanks.

      There are a lot of spammer's that do that, quote something and add some commentary to make it seem legit, but modify the quoted text a bunch making sure when posted it's long enough to be "click to expand", and either immediately insert a spam link, or come back after some time and edit it to add the spam link.

      Active Grille Delete

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      Hello @jaszr2 Do you have a link for the item? I put a replacement bumper on my truck and consequently had to relocate the shutters. I studied on them a while, and figured if you left a couple key blades, you could get most of the airflow with probably no throwing codes.
