So i know this a pretty dumb question. But im going to ask it anyways. Tried looking it up and could fine nothing. What is red line on the dakota's? i got a 99 with a 5.2. Only mods are exhaust, home made cold air intake and autolite plugs. Put i dont think the plugs would count as a major mod. It says red line is 4600 or 4700. but could you go higher without messing anything up?


thanks

no one?

 

You can raise your rev limiter using an aftermarket programmer such as hypertech or superchips.

 

No reason to go to redline. Power starts to drop off before redline.

Redlines are put in for a reason. Go over it it may not hurt it right away, but repeatedly will destroy the motor.

BTW the limiter will kick in before you get that far anyways.

 

my rev limit must of been broke when I had the 3.9 in my 98 Dak, it has hit 5500 a couple of times on wet pavement. Engine ran like crap for a day or so the few times i did, but overall was ok. Oh....but then I did spin a cam bearing one day on the interstate 2 months ago...but engine was 8 years old with MANY miles.

 

idk mine has the redline on the tach starting just below 5k, but my dads 03 doesnt have it on the tach, and his tach goes to 7k, mine only goes to 6k, so idk but i dont see any way to get it reved that high anyway

 

mine pulls to 6000 but i have the cams and pcm flash.

 

mine stock goes to 5500 before the limiter kicks it out, i have a 98 r/t i hope thats right? its a little bit past red line and ive only hit it like twice..once by accident

 

No i was just wondering what it was at, since the the RPM only goes up to 6 grand. I will be buying a Superchip program soon thou, any other brands out there that can compeat with superchip?

 

I would stick with superchips. it has the most options and you can view/erase codes with it too
