Default 3.7L Redline?

I've looked all over the net and through the owners manual and can't find what the redline is on my 2004 1500 w/the 3.7L 5speed. Any ideas? Maybe because I'm color blind, but I can't make out where the cut off is on the tach, and the only answer I've seen on the net is 7000k, which seems REALLY high. Thanks for any help.

Yea, same here. It's screaming at 5k, I couldn't imagine 7k. I was just curious...

I think it's somewhat common for non-sporty vehicles to have no redline as the computer just cuts ignition and fuel when the engine is spinning fast enough.

It will most likely have a preset limit on the RPM's. It's not lower than 6K though. If it is, it would be lower than any 6-cylinder I've ever seen.
