Hey Greg, have you watched any Onstar commercials lately. They are taken in Detroit and the Police are following/chasing a stolen SUV and they call Onstar and Onstar disables the vehicle and the Police can catch the car. Personally I disconnected my Onstar because if I am going 114 MPH I don't need anyone shutting my car off and losing control and hitting a wall. Have you been to Paul's lately or talked to Matt? Send me a note when you can.

Maybe he was texting. And was trying to make up for his slow cell phone service by driving faster. 3G service + 114 mph = 4G service doesn't it?

it shut off. Our montesd limiter is 114ish. WHen it "shuts off" it just kills power. You still can drive and dont need to trestart the engine. It comes back on normaly but the G pulling you back instantly stops and the wind resistance jars you forward. This could be your "pull to the left" My moms 2001 Yukon did that to me a few times on some country back roads. If the wheel was turned even a little the truck wanted to jump that direction.

Probably a belt in your tires. Are they even rated for 114?
