hi i have a 2009 ranger sport 4x4 5 speed and was wondering does anybody know what the red line is it doesn't show on the truck it just goes to 7000rpm and i think that would be alot or does a revalimter kick in or some thing i heard people say its 5200rpm but not sure

 

Rev limiter on a 5 speed.... wouldnt be fun lol..Im sure someone will know. Also on my 97 5 speed 2.3, i didnt have a tach lol..

 

my auto redlines at about 5000 something. Ive only done it once and i barely looked at the tach

 

6100ish.

 

not if the tac goes to 7 with no red i bet its more like 7k

 

With my 03 Ranger FX4 with a 4 L auto I've hit 6500 RPM. Going past 5500 isnt nice though.

 

Well my speedo goes to 120 but the limiter is at 91. Just because the gauge says so doesn't mean the engine says so.

Limiter is at 6100ish RPM

 

my old 2.3 didn't have a rev limiter

after the cam kit, i had it up to around 6500 once.......i was afraid to go any higher

 

cool thanks alot yea mines a 4.0l and i have only at it up to 4000rpm

 

well really just as a general rule you dont rev your engine 10% past its max hp rpm. like the 4.0L ohv engine makes 160 hp at 4200 so around 4600 or 4700 rpms max

 

psht, thats weak, i get 4000 wen i pull out in front of somebody, it sounds bad *** wen its redlining but i don't like it much, a little scary.

 

redline is 6000 RPM on a SOHC

redline on a OHV 4.0 is 4800 RPM

 

i have hit above 6K thats all the tach goes to..

 

I've hit higher then the tach goes on my 02'. I'm sure someone knows exactly when the revlimiter is active for a stock 4.0. I'm guessing 6200ish

 

I doubt it. The 2.3 Duratec makes max power at 5250 rpm, so I'm pretty sure friction would take over well before 7000 to the point of not only would it be very damaging, but the engine probably physically couldn't make it that high, except maybe in 1st gear. The ignition/electronics probably limits it at 6500 at the very most.

BTW, I had an Accord that also made max power at 5250 rpm as well. The tach ran all the way up to 8k, but I know there's no way in he// it could physically get close to that, with or without a rev limiter.

 

redline is marked out on my Mazda guages... 6000rpm even. And there is a limiter there, i can attest to this from racing many a Fox-Body Mustangs :D

 

i've done it when off roading but i never pay attention to the needle (auto trans but i shift manually when abusing the truck) i just hear the rev limiter (niiiiice sound) and then i shift to 2nd but yea 6200ish is about right on a SOHC 4.0

 

6148 actual redline/rev limiter
