are yall sure theres a rev limiter at all? I was pulling a friend out of some mud once in drive and it was over revving a little past the redline, somewhere around 5200-300 if i recall.

edit: forgot to add its a 1998 1500 5.9

 

Well mine does and as far as I know it is factory. It was in the truck when I bought it used and I don't think the PO was smart enough to be able to switch it out. Looks just like yours but the tac goes to 7K. I wish I had a way to show ya.

 

Thats about the rev limit right there, 5200, as Squirrels stated.

 

What year/engine do you have?

 

01 1500 with the 5.2L

 

and just in case anybody was getting an idea, don't screw around raising your rev limiter if you're still running the stock valve springs.

 

i dont think its an electronic rev limit though, i think its mechanical. i know on the third gens when you hit the limit it will stay there not bounce.

 

The rev limit is 5200 on the 5.9 and it bounces off if you keep in the gas, dont ask me how i know this

 

Why is this so? I have mine programmed and the rev limiter raised to hit 6K if I want to. I've hit 5800-5850 a few times shifting from 1st to second. Should I not go that high??? Or go into the red in Park???

 

Stock spings are weak and subject to valve float in high RPMs.

It would not be a good thing if your pistons and valves ever touched one another.
