My 2005 Ranger 4X4 won't rev past 3000 RPM. At a standstill, with the tranny in Park, when I rev up, the tach stops at 3000, and the engine starts to buck. Anyone know, does Ford program the chips, so we can't rev up too high? I might need extra RPMs to get out of a mudhole, or a snowdrift, or the hole I'm in, in a drag race.
Thanks,

There is a rev limiter for neutral and park positions on the truck. It should rev all the way to 6,000 RPMs in gear but only 3,000 in park or neutral.

 

OK, thanks Level 2, you spared me a lot of grief. I was ready to take it in to the repair shop. Thanks again!!! BossHawg

 

Any time JD LOL!
