Whats redline at?

[Southern3.0]

For the second time in one week of owning the truck Ive gotten a P1270 code for engine speed limit reached. When I pulling out in traffic and Im pined, I shift when the truck feels like it quits making power around 5800 ~ 5900 rpm but I guess thats to high, I have crappy Sun Pro tach so it dosnt have the mark so whats Red line supost to be at?

5500 redline. The limiter is set at 6250. My torque curve seems to die just a little before 5500 anyway. Drastically.

Yeah, if I'm trying to accelerate for all its worth, I shift at 5000 or so. Just make sure that you're letting off the gas before you clutch. You might be shifting in the right place, but the RPMs jump before you grab the next gear.

I always feel like I'm driving a ministocker when I merge onto the highway with mine. Shifting at 5k .... BwwwwaaAAAAAAA BwwwwaaAAAAAAA BwwwwaaAAAAAAA

5000 a good number to run,really don't make much more power after 5400 anyways without a cam change.I ran mine one night at 6800 for 20 laps when we had the 4.56,s in it,enough of that.

That is true of any vehicles. Especially carb'ed ones. My subaru would clime three grand (from six grand to nine grand) as soon as you let the clutch out, but drop really quick. It was indestructable anyway. I was really drunk once and simply pressed the gas down to prove a point to this dodge neon driving dumbfuck. The tac was jumping... I'd guess it hit 14 grand within the limits of the carborator I had on there. The revs would jump like that even if the gas was off before I hit the clutch, simply because it pumped more gas then it could use. EFI cars don't do that as much.

The new rangers though.... Does anybody what the **** is up with the new rangers (2.3/2.5 and 3.0) and refusing to drop rpms? It took me a dozen+ test drives until I found one that didn't do that.... it happened to be chipped. I bought it.

I consider redline to be the point at which the engine makes no more power. I have my sunpro tach dial set at 4800rpms. Rev limiter is set at 6250rpms.
