I have an 02 Ranger with a Flowmaster Original 40 on it (Si/Do). Ever since I put it on a couple 3 months ago, it wont rev over 3000 rpm's in neutral or park. Did the place where I had the pipes bent and welded and installed do something wrong? Is there anything I can do to fix this? Thanks.

 

lol ! No auto ranger will rev past 3k in P/N

 

^^ X2


Why do you want to do that anyways??

 

You saying it used to rev past 3000 rpm before?

 

Yeah, I'm about 95% sure it did. I just want to hear how it sounds above 3k...no big deal, I just didnt know if they messed something up.

 

It didn't, thats something from the factory.

 

stock rev limiter i never noticed mine had one till i insalled my exhaust trying to hear how it sounded at higher rpm
if you buy a tuner i believe you can reset the rev limiter but you dont need to

 

AS said above that's a factory setting so you don't blow your engine doing what your doing.

 

Mine will hit rev limiter in neutral......



lol.

 

REV LIMITER, everyone has one, I hate it, and I hate the speedlimiter too, but I learned a trick yesterday, if your goin down a hill you can go faster, yeah I know yall are like duh, but I gunned it and was wonder what my chip would hit at, this time (its usually around 96 or 97) and I hit 100 man I was so excited, I wish the programmers weren't som damn high though $$$!!!

 

yup 4k in P/N for me ! and to date top speed of 105 mph . tires rated to 106 so idono if i wana push more than that !

 

i heard if you put a newer ranger hazards on it cancels out the speed limiter.

 

Ive only seen rev limiters on the automatic trucks.

 

In Park(and possibly Neutral), An automatic truck is electronically limited to the rpms it'll turn. It's covered in an earlier post. I do have a rev limiter(I have a manul), but it's at like 6200 rpm....feels alot like when your driving at 92....it's limited.

 

Not to pick on Tyler.. but this kind of mind set is troubling to me.

A guy does a "mod" and then draws completely unrelated conclusions as to the cause.

This is the very reason why professional mechanics have a tendancy to develop attitudes and charge high rates. They get blamed for things that have nothing to do with anything they did.

Instead of pointing fingers and blame. Take the time & thoughtfulness to be humble and examine why things are the way they are.

And just remember.. when you point the finger of blame there are at least three fingers pointed back at ya.

Auto rangers will not rev past 3k rpms or at least mine won't

I agree wydopnthrtl

 

Mine goes past 3000...........but only to 3200. It did this after roller rockers.

 

they wont rev over that to keep from over heating because when your in park or neutral there is no wind keeping your **** cool.

 

Just get on a highway ramp and floor it!

 

x2 mine wont rev past 3k and this thread answered my question

 

Kind of off the topic a little. But I have a 4.0L 5speed. What exhust would sound the best? I want loud but not too loud the cops will be writing me tickets. And I want it to sound good.

Thanks.

By the way mine will rev all the way up. It dont stop. But the truck wont go past 100mph. Kinda weird.
