4.0L rev limiter?

Just wondering if there is a rev limiter for the 4.0l ranger. This may sound stupid and all, but I was looking for anyone if they knew what RPM it activates and such since my 99 is tachless . However, it will have a tach soon just depends on how fast UPS can drive from California

I think that in neutral, it will limit around 3000 rpm. There is a speed limiter that operates around 92 mph. A aftermarket chip can take out the speed limiter.

Not always, most chip companies wont guarentee the speed limiter to be gone after installation, or even raised for that matter...

my speed limiter is at 99, and my rev limiter is around 5300rpms i think

On my '03, in park and neutral it maxs out at 3000. The speed tops out at 90.

That's why we have a money back guarantee. Most Fords its a nearly 100% success rate. Rangers, about 50%, but it depends on your ECU code. Our company Ranger (2000 XLT Supercab) has it removed.
