get tuned

The Edge tuner made a large difference in the performance of this truck. When I pull on to the highway , a glance at the speedo and Im doing 90mph almost instantly. I love to merge. As long as your not one of those people who change lanes every 30 seconds and weave in and out . fast driving can be done somewhat safely , if proper judgement is used, the vehicle is in safe operational condition, and weather and road conditions are stable. There are alot of parameters that need to be considered.

DAMN! I was about to call BS but then I remembered I've got 4.10 gears. I've never trapped higher than 87 in the 1/4 and I was in 4th gear for a little bit before crossing the line. Does not make me miss my 3.55's!

I have mine set at 110. Been close a couple of times, but never hit it.

i didnt know what mine was on my stock truck until friday night. on my way home to visit my parents i was trying to pass a guy in a silverado on a 2 lane country road (dotted yellow line, legal to pass) around 10 at night and he decides he wanted to speed up. well i look ahead of me and a car is coming at the other end of the straight away so i bury the pedal in the floor because another car is behind the silverado now and i cant just get back behind him and he keeps speeding up too, but some where around 95 he backed off and i finally got around and just as i did i hit 100 and the truck cut out. lets just say i had to wash the boxers when i got home. but the truck was very stable at those speeds tho.

No worries...I had Justin do some alterations to his original tunes as well to get rid of that bogging I seemed to get arounf 50-60. When I am just reg driving it stays pretty low around 65-70.

I have the 3:73's with 275/65/18's. (For now)

I set my speed limiter at 80....

keep me from getting some speeding tickets i hope...

i know this truck will hold it's own speed wise... i just can't afford to get caught going 110 mph in a 55...

at 100, the truck rode great though
