Default Truck Motor Cutting out?



So I am going down the highway the other day, and had this real jerk raceing around me, will I got pissed and decided he wasn't going to pass me!!

So we played this game for a few miles till we got to a stright away and he made his move. I slamed the gas and was keeping him at bay when all of the sudden my motor cut out at 99 mph!! :o

The guy went right by me >:(

So what happened?? Scared the crap out of me!! So I decided to get it back to speed again, I got to 99 mph and the egin cut out on me again??

Just stoped getting gas?? Slowed to 90 and had gas again??

So I went to the chevy site and asked whats the problem?? They say thats the speed set from the factory and if I want to go faster I will need to get a computer tune! >:(

What ever happened to the days when you go as fast as you can till the car had no more??

I was so ashamed when that guy passed me with a smile!!

So now I have to save for a computer tune!! This won't happen again!! :-[

Like the old days with governors on carbs.

I know you're pissed off at the world because of your boat situation, but ease up a bit Bud. :-/

I might be able to get a tune for near free?? My brother has the same truck and he is getting one.

I might be able to use his ;D We shall see!!

I have a 02 Chevy Silvarado 1500, 4X4, Z71, Ext Cab short bed, 4.8 V8, with 3:73 gears, 2" lift with 3/4 ton springs and cranked T bars.

I know that I don't go 100 mph offten, but it just something eating at me when I know I can't!!

THE FEDS MAKE ALL THE MANUFACTURERS DO THAT, IT DEPENDS ON THE SPEED RATING OF THE TIRES AND TRUCK TIRES ARE RARELY RATED OVER 100MPH - REMEMBER THAT FIRESTONE THING A FEW YEARS AGO WHERE TRUCKS WERE FLIPPING OVER.
