I thought that even if you shifted into 2nd, or even 1st for that matter, that the engine would shift anyway to prevent such a thing. Plus isn't there a rev limiter built into these things?
I wouldn't doubt if I've hit 70 in second while passing. If I jam on the gas I'm sure I can hear it dropping a few gears and with a 4-spd auto wouldn't that make it second gear?

Mmmm... I would play stupid and see what the dealer has to say about the truck not starting.
I know when down shifting the transmission won't shift into the lower gear until you are at a safe speed to do so. However, I believe you may do some damage if you start out in 2nd and accelerate to redline.
Good luck!
