The engine is relatively new with 17k miles on it. It used to be rough above 4000 RPM so I didn't push it. Now that it's broken in, I've run it up to 5000 RPM. It runs smoothly until at least that RPM and I don't really notice any drop in power until about 4700 RPM. Still, I've never run it to redline since it doesn't make much power up there. Yeah.. falls off the powerband pretty quick. I wish I'd had the tach hooked up when an old friend of mine (actually the one that had the diesel Chevette a long time ago) was visiting a few years back and I let him experience deep sand off-roading. Seemed to be afraid to shift up for fear of losing momentum. Certainly in excess of 6000 RPM and by ear I'd say 6500+... I was cringing and hollering "shift!!" (and thinking that without the f!) knowing that a tow would be well over $100 from the ORV area. Other than the B-II we had an enjoyable hour or so and the steed survived the abuse at 140K so it was treated to some fluid changes etc. > > Sorry I'm slow responding.
