I was killing some time and building a truck on chevy's website and cam across an interesting piece of standard equipment.....It lists the governor as 70mph no matter what cab/drive/engine combination. Just wondering if anybody else has seen this. If this is true, then hopefully the aftermarket will be stepping in quickly with a resolution to this problem.

I can understand that being an option for work trucks, but on every truck that's ridiculous. Hell, there are speed limits in parts of Texas that are higher than the governor will let the truck go.

 

if true thats gay (well if true, welcome to gov't controlled GM)

 

Its not standard its an option and im guessing its for company's buying fleet trucks,and i see no reason it couldnt be tuned out if for some reason someone got a truck with that opt

 

Don't want anyone ragging on the fleet trucks

 

WOW!!
Valid point!!

 

When looking online it says that it is standard, click on the link and scroll down to the powertrain section

that sucks ***** .... i wouldent even buy a truck like that , thats actually dangerous on the freeway if you have to speed up to avoid a collision or somehting you cant ...

 

and i thought the 98 or 99mph limiter was bad

 

yeah good question why it has "standard" next to it?

 

well i guess i will have to get the texas edtion
