I just installed a tach for my 95 F-150 and was wondering If anyone know's what the red line is or when the power control module cuts off the engines power at high engine RPM's?

I wouldn't take it over 5k as a stock motor, especially if it has a lot of miles on it. I don't believe the ignition cuts before 5500, though.

Only 60,000 miles on it. Truck does remind me of a tractor the way the tach acts. Definately a tourqer and at 2000 RPM's it seems like 3 or 4,000 RPM's in other vehicles. I've heard great posts on the reliablity of this engine.
