Hi JM,

anything new about the speed limiter? we have 2007 h3 with the new 3.7 engine. My wife is very unhappy about the limit sometimes...

If you have have a solution so let me know.

Thx for reply
Tom

 

Aren't the H3's capped right under 100 mph like most other SUV's!? This simply isn't fast enough for you or !?!?! Keep in mind what you're driving .. it's not ment to be a speed demon, it's an offroad vehicle. I don't think I would want to know what the gas mileage is, even in an H3 at 100 mph ... and I certainly don't want to know what my H2 would require fuel wise at the same speed ...

 

Here in Germany it is no problem to go faster sometimes;-) My wifes father has a ML 320cdi that goes over 150mph without any problem.
We dont want to drive long distances over 100mph but sometimes we wish that its possible to do that.
My dodge cummins has also no limiter, just a limit from max engine rpm. My favorite highway speed is around 100mph. Never any problems with it.

By the way the H3 is equipped with a Prins LPG system, so we drive 50% cheaper than gas.

 

Hi Tom, Welcome to this Forum

Well sorry but no, I haven't got a solution. If you re- program the PCM I gess they will take off the limiter but I am against that solution for me.
I perfectly understand your problem, last winter I drove from Munich to Kolding on my way to Denmark and that, was hell!!! Maybe GEIGER ( HUMMER main dealer)has a valid solution in Germany.
If you find something let me know.

 

You can hear me comming down the road for at least 5 miles at 100mph whhaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrr and it will cut out over 100mph. Theres no reason to drive that fast in a H3. How much faster you going to get somewhere going 100 vs 80mph? Drive 100mph in your H3 I don't care. Do it in Florida and I will pull you over! heh The day I pay $700 or more for front brake pads on my H3 is the day I look at buying a Toyota Prius (which will never happen)

 

I just put a turbo from turbonetics in my H3 and a borla exhaust.What I think is thatmaybe the reason why some people want to take the speed governor off is because 1- they like speed and are aware of the risk, or 2-like in my case want to go and just try in a drag strip without cutting my speed just right before the 1/4 mile ends. Not that I want to race on the streets or highways but in a 1/4 mile strip??? Its really badwhen you are winning and smoking the other car and because of your SPEED LIMIT! the other car passes you or does better time. So does anyone here has an answer to takethe speed governoroff??

 

why.....why...do you have to reply to a thread over a year old?!?!?! Especially one made by that backstabbing french POS[:@]

 

Legalities aside, why would you want to go that fast in a Hummer? SUVs are notorious for flipping at high speeds, and I'm sure H3s are no different. Hummers were designed to excel at crawling, not flying. I get passed on the freeway all the time in my H3 Adventure, and I could care less. I just think that if you bought it for speed or highway performance, you will be disappointed.
