Default Hemi RPM's
Seafoamed the truck tonite in prep for an oil change and noticed that the RPMs wont go above 3900 when in park or neutral.
Is this some sort of fail/safe so as to not over rev the motor?

unfortunately..... sucks butt. If you get a programmer you can change it. It's supposed to be a tranny protection so you cant rev it up and slam it in gear.

Rev limiter is there to protect you. But as said, it can be bypassed.
