98 mph Governor!!!!!

[az2022tbgblue]

I was driving down the road (allegedly) over 98 MPH and the truck goes into what felt like neutral…. I then read (which I have never experienced before in any other truck or car! I was confused and concerned and found out the truck has a Governor set for 98mph! Does anyone know how to remove this annoying issue?

I was able to change mine to 140 MPH using the Pulsar LT...

Range Technology 22451 Pulsar LT for 2019-2022 GM 1500 5.3L/6.2L

The Pulsar LT is a new in-line module for 2019-2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 5.3L/6.2L that offers complete adjustability of many features, all from your steering wheel controls. Without modifying your truck's ECM, Pulsar LT offers you the ability to adjust throttle response...

The truck in the OP's signature is a refresh, the current Pulsar won't work for him will it?

Nope. Electrical architecture was changed in the refresh trucks.

Not knocking, but serious question. Why does anyone want to go that fast in a truck? I got mine not to go fast, but use it as a truck and have some fun off road. Speed and trucks not built for that seem like disaster waiting to happen. Be safe.

There might be a situation where you need to go over 100 in an emergency. I don’t think he’s looking to do it on a regular basis but maybe he is.

Maybe the 98 cap will help KSP pit my truck if ever stolen lol
I also think 98 is fast enough in an emergency-any faster and I’d probably create another emergency-for myself or someone else

I thought governors were mainly due to tire speed ratings? I wouldn't ever try 140 mph on the stock duratracs.

Pretty sure this is a big part of it. The 98mph rating corresponds to the stock tires im pretty sure. In fact I think the limiter is set to 112 on RST's that come with a different tire.

I did remove mine when I installed the Pulsar. not for any reason in particular, but it's a feature of module, so might as well. I have a liter bike if I wanted to go over 98mph.

It is due to tire speed ratings. I got the 20" wheel option on my truck and it has the governor at 112mph. It's still pulling hard at that speed, I can't imagine having it cut off at only 98! When I'm passing I want to pass fast and get back in my lane and get back down to speed. It's easy to hit 98 if you're trying to pass a semi or 2 vehicles quickly.

I’ve also been told the aluminum driveshaft will flex and vibrate after 98 mph.

Interesting! Never noticed that even up over 130 MPH.

This is a myth.

I was told this by someone who added a SC to a 6.2.
