Duramax is a diesel motor. Most diesels have a built in governor to keep the engine speed from going too high. I suspect that the engine is hitting the top speed and the governor is kicking in just before you shift.
It's most likely programmed within one of the vehicles computers and not something physical that can be removed. Re-programming the computer may be the only method of defeating this safety device.
i think it came about when ford introduced the 302 cu. in. 5.0 Liter engine in there police cars hence the name five O. they at at the time were very close in performance to the camaro, firebird, etc. of the time before that it was hard to keep up with a lot of things but after that it was more easy to catch them. so they new if they couldn't lose them then it must be a five O engine in the cruiser behind them.

In the engine control module.
On the governor, there is a black plastic cap. Remove cap. Inside is a screw. This screw will will adjust the governor.
Yes, it is possible to adjust the governor on a 5 hp. It is a complicated process, but a properly adjusted governor can maintain a steady engine speed.Ê
You adjust the run and idle speed with the governor wire...loosen the nut and adjust it.
The governor isn't a physical object... it's a line of programming in the engine ECM. You'd need to have a diagnostic computer with the appropriate software pluggd into it and adjust it from there.
governor near air filter... don't adjust it too much or it will eventually blow the engine.. youtube has instructuions on how to properly adjust the spring
There is not a gear in the engine, they do have a speed limiter in the computer. Also some older automatic transmissions have a "governor" to adjust shift points.
You can adjust it, by turning out the "Engine Governor Speed Adjustment" Screw. Check out the doodlebug manual, or message me for more details.
