The police pursuit trucks are rated to go well over 100 from the factory. Same truck, but with the rubber stamp approval from GM.

Wish I could afford a ppv!! Or even an ssv.

 

[Gurrzt]

The tires are rated to 112 or 118 mph. I'd have to look to confirm. Doing 100 is perfectly fine, with plenty of room to spare.

and why wouldn't I want to take this vehicle to 100 MPH??? No reason not too !! It's perfectly stable.

Because you only get one telephone call from jail .

the suv tires they put on these are rated at 118 mph wich means theyve been tested at that sustained speed for 10 min and thats with a perfect brand new set with good alignment everything
so dont expect those same tires to hold up to that test after theyve been driven on for a year etc

theres a bit of difference in the ppv its goverened at 149mph and it has z rated tires wich are 140+ plus also has larger rotors larger alternator a second battery for the communications eqiupment thats required to stayon while the vehicle is off
lower suspension
a ssv is basically the same as a ppv except its 4x4 and governed to only 120mph

The PPV Rotors are 14" Diameter, the same as a stock NNBS Tahoe and the Calipers are where the main difference is, they use a higher heat Silicone seal where the stock is rubber. I know this as I did the conversion on a 2006 to the NNBS PPV Calipers & Rotors.

On my 2009 Tahoe LTZ with the 6.2L L9H engine, I run Baer EradiSpeed 15" Rotors and Baer Pads on GM PPV Calipers along with Goodyear Eagle V rated (149 MPH) tires as this truck will easily run over 135 and with 85 MPH speed limits on many of our highways, I tend to cruise at high speeds when possible. I have also upgraded the suspension with Hotchkis parts and maintain this vehicle to an extreme standard as I only use it as a "Grand Touring SUV" when on trips of just hooting around on weekends..and NO TOWING!! Not a daily driver..got a stock 14 Tahoe that does that..

FYI: A “Z” rating can mean different things. While it nearly always means a high performance tire for high-performing sports cars, “Z” may actually appear in the middle of a tire's size information. When it does, it represents either a maximum speed of more than 149 mph (240 kph) or 186 mph (300 kph).

If you have tuned or disabled the speed limiter, take a look at the Raybestos R-300 Performance Rotors and the Element 3 Pads which combine the best of Semi-Metallic and Ceramic.

For you LEO's, you might want to take a look at this site:

what are the driveshaft issues that have been hinted at online?
is it for both hoe & burb , or only for burb?

other than a driveshaft safety loop, what else to do preventative wise?

eta:
online its mentioned that the DS break at/above triple digit speed.
some broke apart while on a dyno. were these just mon/fri parts?


is it best to get aftermarket DS w/ upgraded yokes? recommendations?
