wassup guys? so i was on the freeway, moderate traffic, say 75mph, i decided to floor the accelerator, touching the floor, the tranny downshifted as it should..... the tahoe pulls of nicely....from 75, i managed to get it up to 100 quickly.... heres the wierd part... when i had the pedal to the metal, literally, it felt like the transmission wanted to shift to the next gear but it keep holding... it was jerking at 100 (or more) and @5000rpm, i was still flooring it.... is this normal?:skep:

depending on model.. your tahoe has a speed limiter that when it hits 100.. it no longer goes any more

programmer would do the trick i think say superchip or whatever the hell the other one is, why would you want your hoe to go over 100. you plan on racing?

yeah, you can change that with a chip, but dont be doin 100 on the freeway, cause that aint cool.
But if your gonna race it or something, then right on!
