[QUOTE=don123;16532481] So who said they redline their engine in park?

When an engine transitions from going up to TDC and then back down the rotating assembly sees the highest stress. Makes sense that at the change in direction it gets the most stress.
A loaded engine has more of an opposing force on top of the piston to "lessen" this event. An unloaded engine does not.
An engine revving in park will still have a slight load on it. The key is that the less the load the more the stress at this change of direction event. This stress increases substantially as rpm's go up.

I think it's just the computer nanny making it rev slowly. The guy never said it won't rev over 3000rpm he simply asked why when he taps the peddle it's slower reving then his v10 was. The 6.2 seems really restricted until the truck is moving. If giving the 6.2 a rev within reason to embarrass the wife is going to hurt it I need to get a new truck. I'm with Squisher that my truck sees much more abuse than this simple act of being silly now and then.

I think it's 3200rpm it'll rev to in park/neutral. I tried it the other day and forgot to update this thread. I could hold my foot to the floor all day and that's all it would do. Definetly the computer is limiting fuel and max rpm.
I know,the Pistons may have been about to fly off the rods, but I live dangerously like that.

We're talking about park and neutral. Not in gear. My truck is custom tuned through an SCT tuner, just not 5star. I would see no reason to want to change the programming to allow it to rev more in either park or neutral?
I just found it interesting that that 'feature' was there. Seems a good idea to me, I've just never had a vehicle that does that?
