ok well i have a 02 ranger edge 4.0 and today i cleaned my engine. after i got done i ran it for awhile. while sitting there it wouldn't let me rev it over 3500 rpm's. are all rangers like this? i tried it in Drive and Neutral

 

yes they are, You can get a programmer and take it off but that is normal

 

ok woo that scared me for a sec thanks alot man

 

mine does it at 3000 RPM's in neutral and park, havend tried loading the torque converter to the stall speed yet, but I know when I jump on it it revs to 5600 rpms before it shifts.

 

funny i have my truck in park and i can rev it past 4500-5000, weird... i also have a 94 so i dont know.

 

The 3000 RPM N/P rev limiter was added around 2000, IIRC. 1994 definitely didn't have it.

 

yeah so when people want to hear my exhaust... lol they hear it alright....

 

my '01 rev limiter is set at 3,000 rpms. first time i tried reving the engine, i thought i had a serious problem!

 

rev limiter at 3000 rpm
speed limiter at 92mph
this truck will sure hit 92 pretty fast for a truck though-brother keeps trying to talk me into taking it to the track, but im not sure, if i dont do it i wont want to keep doing it

 

hmmmm......i've got a 2000 and can rev it way past 3k rpms. Guess they started it in 01.

 

The manuals don't have the 3K limiter. It is automatic only, in neutral and park.

 

Just what I was about to post.

My '03 auto rev'd out at 3k in park, the '03 manual I have now doesn't.

 

i had a city job and one of the many times i was goofing off i found that on it you could be in drive going like 30 slip it into park and rev it up higher....it was an 03...i dont know???

 

doing 40 last night i popped mine into neutral, still limited at 3k

 

wouldn't that blow up the transmission?

 

probably not blow it up, just tear the park rod thing up.

 

i have a 3k RPM rev but i got the ol girl up over 100 on the way home from SC. I have a chip?

 

i raced someone the other day and i havent changer my speedo (bigger tires) but it said 95 and the neon sayed hes was going almost 100 and i was still pulling away
