Hello, I have a 2019 GMC sierra 1500 SLT 5.3l. When I bought the truck would go up to 105 mph. After a while the truck hits only 98mph. Does anyone know how this happened?

Since when do you need to pass someone doing 30 over the limit?   I can two lane pass someone doing 10 over pretty easy lol. Maybe it just really gets to people that they can't get to their

I lived in Texas a decade. I've traveled your roads.    Talladega's back straight is 4,000 feet long. A car traveling 200 mph is coving that distance at 293.3333 feet per second taking 13.64

I love reading post from people who have no idea how long and smooth Texas roads are. Snow belt and east coast roads can’t compare. I lived in both. In the 40 years I lived in Texas I never needed a f

Beats me but more than half of the trucks will have a 98mph limiter based on the tires it came equipped with.

 

Big deal if you can't go 7mph faster now.

The thing is that this truck went down on the limited from 105 to 98. From 98 to 105 is a big difference especially when passing.

Have you installed different size tires?

There's a 75mph speed limit on a two lane country road?!?!? Not sure who the idiot is here, the one who created speed limit or the idiots driving that fast on a country road. Only speed limit above 70mph I've seen in the US are on interstates. But you do you Bubba and keep your $5, I don't want you fondling my balls.

In Texas we have those two lane roads ( better built than a lot of highways) with passing lanes every 4 miles. No cows, goats etc.

Oh! I think a $5 pair of balls will probably fit you small!

I will send you $10.

Originally I asked a question to see if anyone had had this same issue so if you don't have good feedback , keep it shut and Keep strolling!

Good Day!!

Mine never changed but the first time that I did hit the speed limiter it was during passing a vehicle and I was scared "ball-less 😬" hitting that speed.

I got you!

I mean I don't drive crazy but being on the road for many years now, sometimes I Need that extra push.

I also understand that pickup trucks are not built for high speeds (driveshaft might give out) but sometimes in my experience I have to floor it!.

It boggles me because like I said, for the first year it did 105 all stock. Now it went down to 98. 

I have CAI, catch can and a magnaflow muffler. Not looking to tune it, its my highway driver.

Thanks for your feedback👍

Death wish doing 100 on any road, things happen faster than you can react, you have to be driving 1/4 mile in front of where you are, easy on a race track, not so easy with the nitwits on the road these days. To answer your question other than changing the tires or gear ratio there shouldn't be anything that would affect the limiter. I wonder if the Onstar may have done it? you said same size tires but not the same tires? there can be big differences in the circumference of different brands of tires

The truck came from factory 20" wheels on 275/60/R 20  Bridgestone Alanza tires. 800 miles ago I replaced all 4 tires with same size, brand tires( except the new tires are Alanza Plus) which are rated for higher speeds which that was not the reason I went with the plus tires. I got those because of the 80k warranty they have and work very well on wet conditions.

OnStar🤔?

Might need to look into that!

Thanks for your feedback👍

 

By the way guys, I have a track car and a 9 sec quarter car so do not think I want to make my truck fast especially a crew cab.

Thanks

Glad you posted the exact specs, I had the exact size and brand that came with the truck when bought new but my speed limiter was at 98mph.  I've read multiple threads and it seems 98 are set for this wheel/tire specification.  So...maybe your truck was "mis-programmed" and maybe you got a recent OTA update and it got flashed to match the true spec of the truck.

      A/C failure cause???

      By Somethingclever_2014GM · Posted

      Glad it worked for you. I tried that 1st, about 2 years ago. Didn't help. I also tried doing a hard reset (disconnecting battery for minimum of 30 minutes). Worked a couple times, but after one summer of doing it over and over, that no longer worked.  I was fairly confident it was either the compressor or a failed actuator, but I just couldn't identify which one. Had to research which actuators do what and which last numbers are associated with each.

      Took me FIFTEEN MINUTES to find this. Isn't that a problem? On the mainstream media I can INSTANTLY find 100 articles bashing President Trump ... but when it comes to TRUTH in American corporate news & search engines, it's carefully filtered to support ONE SIDE. A Republic cannot survive like this! Incredible! Even all the AI searchers out there failed as well! ChatGPT said it needed more details on the video that I provided a DIRECT LINK to! I thought AI was the be-all, end-all?? I had to dig it up myself. This should be FRONT PAGE NEWS!!! 🤬   Here's the statement directly from our President:     Glenn Beck's reporting on the operation:   https://glennbeck.com/watch/videos/trump-just-revealed-a-massive-military-secret-that-lowered-gas-prices   In case that link doesn't work, here's the YouTube link:     And another 15 minutes to find this clip out of Glenn Beck's video - the first few seconds is all the corporate media will allow the public to see, since the low IQ people will think Trump said " I love inflation ", and that was the end of it. Taken WAY out of context! Here's that part, plus the 2nd part about the oil smuggling operation:

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By KARNUT · Posted

      More is cylinder deactivation. Kia-Hyundai Ive had 4. The warranty is the same 10 years 100K miles. My grandson drives the first one 05 Elantra GT. My wife drives the second one 2011 Genesis. The Genesis still performs as new and looks great. The Elantra looks rough. He’s not kind to it. The third was a Genesis coup. The fourth was a Santa Fe. Those were my daily drivers. I don’t keep them long. Kia is the same as Hyundai with the same warranty. I looked at the K-4 today. Too small, otherwise pretty good buy. Most of Hyundai and Kia’s have a performance upgrade.

      Oil Consumption

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Great question. Answer....depends. One the volume of the crankcase, the driver that will actually be using the vehicle and the amount it uses plus the distance expected for that next trip. Couple of for instances:   Wife is going to drive Dizzy to Moline and back plus a bit around town so say 500 miles on the day. I know from years with that SUV that around town and local rural it uses about a quart in 1250 miles. But on the Interstate and her at the wheel without her anchor nagging her she'll push it and it will drop a quart in about 800 miles. Hence, around town I wait to somewhere between a quarter down to a quart down. On her trip I'd top it if it was down a few ounces and hope for the best.    Have I overfilled one? You mean by adding before it needs a full quart I assume. No, not once after finding the true fill mark.  I know the dipsticks of everything I drive and add what it needs. I learn this by doing the first oil change a quart low. Run the motor for a few minutes. Let it sit over night. Check and mark. Then add half a cup at a time making note of the place on the stick. I add through the dipstick tube with a barbeque basting bottle. Give it a few minutes to drain down and check again.    A vehicle like Dizzy that uses this much oil will take a few quarts between 3K changes. I keep one in the vehicle with the bottle and a bag. (Mindful of it's fullness) Not a big deal and never makes a mess of it. There is no such thing as "multiple quarts' in my shop for any specific oil. There will be a maximum however of the number of different oils used over the fleet.     Dizzy holds a nominal 5 quarts. So the first fill was indeed over as it actually took 4.75. My vehicles are fit with Valvomax valves so I can meter an ounce on the drain if need be. Found her mark first crack at it. Never to be repeated.    Pepper uses none between changes so I don't keep a quart in that one. Straight up 6 quarts put her dead on the full line. Check it ever fuel stop. They will surprise you when they start using.    Raven holds 3 liters or 5.44 ounces over three quarts. I add 3 quarts and 6 ounces. That gives me 5 oil changes on my orphan quart.    Lawnmower holds about 3/5 of a quart. I don't over fill it to prevent an orphan. So yea, depends.
