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.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
