Sierra/Silverado Governor?

I recently bought a Sierra 2500HD 4x4. Without a doubt, it's the best truck I've ever owned. I'm a little dissapointed with one thing though. GM has installed some type of governor that cuts fuel to the engine at 98mph. Yeah, I know, I should not be driving that fast anyway. I have a problem with it though, for what I paid for the truck, shouldn't it be my choice as to how fast I want to drvie? I'll probably never drive that fast again, but I want to make that decision for myself. Does anyone know how to have this governor removed (dealer won't touch it)? It's a principal thing with me. It wouldn't matter if the governor was set at 198mph, it would still tick me off.

programmers to reprogram engine CPU to disable speed sensor (fuel shutoff) etc
Good luck
You can buy a Jet chip to disable this feature. The only problem is, where to buy 'E' load rated, 'H' speed rated tires? If you buy less than the 'E' load rating, then you comprimise the load carrying abilities of your truck.
Good luck,

The stability of our PU's at 110-120mph would worry me more than the tires overheating during a short passing/speed run.
PS. Did you know that a rental Northstar Caddy has a governer shutoff of 108mph? hehehehehe
WWW.Truckperformance.com has them.
www.truckperformance.com doesn't list a Hypertech either - all I could find was a Jet module on that site.

I agree that we should probably never drive that fast. However, if you're on an open road with nobody around, what's it hurting?
P.S. about to get 2001 or 2002 crew cab 4x4 2500hd Duramax w/allison........anyone have experience with this combo yet?
