2004 gmc sierra sle ext cab 2wd tith a 4.8

 

 

2009 chevy silvy ls crew cab 2wd with a 6.0

[bob002500]

both if stock will be around 97-100 mph

[Chris]

the sierra is my personal truck and it is at 97 but the silvy is my work truck and i had it above 100 on tuesday with no sign of a governer

What 6.0 is it? Is it the LY6 or the L76? My truck has the L76 and when it was stock it would not go over 92 mph. But with my Black Bear Tune it now goes up to 130mph.

The speed limiter is set for the tire speed rating the vehicle was built with. Changing tire size or gear ratio will alter top speed.

Negative, it will not. The speed limiter is PROGRAMMED into the computer it has no idea what tire size and stuff lke that you are running, it is a default setting in the truck computer. Most come computer limited between 94-98 MPH. My 99 was at about 98, and my 07 is about 98 as well.

Yeah, that's true. My V-Max speed limiter was set at 92mph but my stock tires had a higher speed rating.
