Rev on the Redline

I noticed that there's no redline on my tachometer,but it does go to 6,000. I assume that's normal? Al

I was told that is common these days with rev limiters. Of course, your mileage may vary.

The redline is built into the computer, not the speedometer. You'll know when you hit it, around 5300 or so.....

Actually its in both, try going over 98mph. the engine will cut out and will not let you exceed this speed even if your only turing 3000rpms in OD. it will also shut you off around 5300 or so in every gear regaurdless of speed.

It just takes a little getting used to,that there is no redline painted on the tach,thanks. I drive some of our Macks at work and they have some type of limiter on them so we don't go over the speed limit,loaded,or not.
