REV limiter product the engine
Speed Limiter protects the driver and GM from lawsuits.
The Speed limite is set up based on vehicle handling characteristics at certain speeds, and also on the speed rating of the tires. The larger Bridgestones are rated for approx. 106 mph (no official speed rating required for truck tires); therefore, GM will set the speed limiter to around 5-6 mph under to protect them from a possible lawsuite.
