Default rev limiter

Can anyone tell me if there is a rev limiter on my 03 5.9 ram 1500. This thing will pull hard to 5000 or 5100 and then it falls on its face, stuttering and dropping cylinders to the point of not even shifting to the next gear. Wasn't sure if this is the normal or not. ?

Default RE: rev limiter

a problem that you describe should show up as some sort of computer malfunction? Is your truck under warranty?

This doesn't sound right to me. It shouldn't drop cylinders, but the engine is running of the cam at that RPM.

Just out of curiosity, I thought that 2002 was the last year of production for 5.9 liter engine.

There were some late production 02's that were sold and titled as 03's that were equipped with the 5.9.

I've had 2 360 Magnums and 3 318 Magnums, all had rev limiters.
