Tires and driveshaft. Once a driveshaft comes out of balance at those speeds it will destruct with in seconds.

They do make one.   It requires voiding your warranty and spending a minimum of $1,900 to purchase a new unlocked computer from HP Tuners and the credits to tune it.   I doubt you'

Just ordered the Pulsar LT Control Module. Makes speed limiter changes up to 140mph. That should be enough :)

I think that your rear end ratio and the engine power will limit you right before then.  The old police tahoes had 5.3l with 3.08 rear ends and would do 139.  The new 2021 police models have 5.3l with 3.23 ratios and show 130 as a top speed.  I'd be interested in seeing what yours will do when removed.  I'm getting my WAMS deal in the mail soon.

Keep in mind the interceptor tahoes are 2WD not 4WD. 

Right... the 4WD models are limited to 121.

100 bucks more than WAMS and doesn't have nearly as many options ?

As of 2021, 125  that's 5 MPH less than the RWD.:)  What's really sad though, is that Dodge has lowered the top speed of the 5.7L Hemi Charger Police package to 140 MPH, same as the 3.6L V-6.  Weird and disappointing to many state police agencies who liked the upper 155+ MPH top speed the Charger offered.  That now puts the Ford Explorer police Interceptor with the 3.0 Egoboost as the quickest.  148 MPH top speed, 0-60 5.75 sec.

I had my ‘15 ccsb 5.3, 6 speed 4x4 with 3.42 gears going 135.  It was still climbing at 135, but I let off.

Has anyone with a T1 CCSB deleted the speed limiter and run it up?  How high did you get it and how did it feel?  I am still waiting on mine to get done.

I can't find it right now, but somewhere on YouTube there is a vid of one going 148 that has some upgrades.  Not sure what they removed the limiter with, but that's the speed they shut down at.

{edit} Looks like it was a 2018 model, now that I found the video

I set mine to 130 although the speedometer goes to 140. Took it to 120 and it was rock solid and still climbing fast. No doubt in my mind that it would peg 140 if I so chose. What I like most is the throttle sensitivity increase. No lag whatsoever and even seems to change the trans mission up shift and downshift points. Full power now at the hit. Got to be careful because it will break the tires loose under 40 mph.

Once I replace these T rated tires with some new H rated Bridgestone shoes I won't be nervous about taking it all the way.

It has zero to do with truck packages. It's strictly tire rating issues.  I have a 2021 AT4 with the 18" rims and my brother has a 2021 AT4 with the 20" rims. I cut out at 98 and his cuts out at 112ish.

Yep

 

Had a guy on here arguing up a storm about it.  I ended up getting WAMS which came with a ton of other things added

Well to be completely honest its considerably more involved than just the tire rating; many of these trucks have tires rated well beyond the top speed they are limited at. The Trucks actually have several limiters and whatever one is the lowest is the one the system utilizes. Generally this is the transfer case limit or everyones favorite the driveshaft limit 😉 If you hang around long enough with the high speed guys about 50% of the time they have a driveshaft pretzel horror story lol

My 2018 Sierra SLT 6.2L with 8 speed, Gibson Catback exhaust, S&B CAI, and Hypertech power programmer hit 130 MPH in a breeze, but my tires were only rated for that speed so that’s where I set the speed limiter too.

      New to Me 2010 SLE (Quirks, Issues)

      By davester · Posted

      not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...

      First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.

      I always drive in Sport mode. With more driving, I am finding the initial response when accelerating is much quicker now🖕 Lou

      Is it an optical illusion in the pic or is the truck really squatting that much horribly?

      It's Been a Long Time...

      My initial introduction was here.  It's hard to believe that I last posted in February 2013, having just deployed to Kyrgyzstan.  Since then, I've retired from the military and the 2006 Sierra SLT Z71 that first brought me to these pages was lost.  I went forward to Afghanistan in March 2013 and did a lot of sitting behind a computer on brigade staff.  Within 18 months of getting back to the States, I was selected for Drill Sergeant duty, after which I moved back to Virginia (my home state and where I served from 2004-2008).  That '06 Sierra did a lot of driving between Louisiana, Georgia, and Virginia, and ended up with nearly 320k miles by 2022.  By then, the registration had been expired for a couple of years, but the pandemic had all but eliminated tickets for such transgressions.  Admittedly too, I usually drove my wife's SUV or son's car the 2-3 times a week I had to report to work.  Teleworking sure was fun while it lasted.   I started my retirement leave four years ago and stored the Sierra at my sister's house.  A big mess was made when her fiancé passed while she was taking care of business out-of-state in late-2024, and his son pretty much mismanaged everything to do with the estate.  Even so, I was assured that my truck was safe... until it wasn't.  I found out that my truck had been scrapped about four months after the son took over everything.  There's nothing I could do; I'm 1000 miles away and it was technically abandoned property since he'd even trespassed my sister from her own house (she had no claim to it as she wasn't married, and the fiancé was the sole owner).     Anyway, today I got my second Sierra.  This is a 2010 SLE 2WB CCSB with a little over 200k miles on it.  It's got the 5.3L I'm familiar with and should handle what I need it for.  Hauling stuff that won't fit in the Transit Connect (yep, I sold out, but that's the wife's vehicle) and towing a few times a year tops.  The price seemed decent, considering how much people sell their trucks for in the Deep South: $4500.  I've seen similar trucks listed for more than double that.  I got it from a coworker who left his tag on until we transfer the title next week (Louisiana requires a notary for transfers), so I've been driving it all day.  The rear speakers don't work, which is one of the things that brought me back to these forums earlier.  I can't say how active I'll be as a poster, but I'll be scouring the archives while I find out every little thing I can about the 2010s and particular nuances/problems with my truck.   It's definitely not a GMC, but I got another Willys Jeep a few months back as well, so I'm almost at the same place I was when I first joined gm-trucks.com.  My old 1960 DJ3A was sold back around 2010 or 2011; my current Jeep is a 1946 CJ2A.  So, I've got a slightly newer GMC and a much older Jeep.  I kind of wish I still had that F-250 I had way back when too.  The Dakota is long gone and was technically my brother's truck, though I had it registered and insured.  The F-250 had to go when my grandmother's house was foreclosed on due to mismanagement around 2012 or so.     Hopefully anyone that made it this far isn't too annoyed.  I tend to be long-winded, but I'll be doing more reading than posting in the coming months.
