Guys: My wife took the truck for the weekend, to go to a wedding 230 miles away. On the way home today she sais somebody was screwing with her on the highway so she gunned it. She claims that she had the truck up to 118-120 mph. Is she BS'ing me, I thought these trucks had a top speed limiter. The truck is totally stock. Also the truck is black. What would be involved and cost do ya think to repaint the truck silver? I won't go into reasons, just thinking about it. Would going to a GM dealer bodyshop be the best place if I wanted it factory silver or some other factory color?

I know 800s top speed limiter was somewhere in the 98-99 range. As for the painting, an independent shop can repaint it a factory color if that is what you want and should cost if done properly anywhere from 8000+.

Wow, that much for a repaint, that's sick. I had the truck to 103 or so and could have kept going, this was a few months ago.

Well, if it were me, that's the last time my wife would take my truck anywhere! Are you getting it repainted so you can park it down the street and tell your wife you no longer have the truck so she doesn't borrow it again and go drag racing on the local highways?

I guess GM changed it on the 900s. Anyway the price is something I saw elsewhere on the site. Someone had to get a repaint B/C of the thin paint problem GM had on the trucks coming out of one plant, and that is how much someone said. Oh ya, I know why you want to repaint. That was your truck that was on the news with the stolen ATM wasn't it. :D Darn thievin kids. :crackup:

I just talked to her again and fabricated saying that the truck has a top speed limiter of 105. She said no way, she had the truck up to 118-120, she's adament about it.

I can assure you that these new trucks have a speed limiter set at 98 MPH. I have the Edge and the tunes are all pre-set to 98mph. I upped mine to 110, even though I never intend to go that fast, I just like knowing I can. :D

 

Maybe she was reading the KM/hr? lol

Are the tire size OEM & if not was the calibration changed. Look on the tire for the speed rating. Should be

"S 112 mph 180 km/h Family Sedans & Vans"

This is the old lady driving that chevy. I had that puppy up to over 105 at least...I am being modest at that. Perhaps you are jealous...I love these 8 cylinder vehicles. I think it is time for my husband to spring for a real vehicle for me. I am going to take her out this week. I will take a picture of my speedometer and will share it with you:)

Sorry guys, that really was her. She took the laptop from me, and as some of you are aware, I broke both my legs, so I couldn't get up to get the d**n computer back.

No jealousy here, I can set my speed limiter to whatever I want. :driving:

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.
