Rev limiter

[bigbadram1500]

I've noticed here for quite a while sometimes when merging onto the interstate, it sounds like the truck is hitting the rev limiter, the truck will actually cut out for a second and kinda buck, then it will downshift and run like a striped *** ape. Is this normal? Sometimes you don't even have to get on it that hard and it will do it.

I do have superchips on it, but have never messed with the WOT or rev limiter. I just have the MDS disabled on it.

try changing your rev limiter some...see what happens.

Yeah, mine use to do it. More when the wheels were spinning lol. Up the rev limiter, mines at 140. Not that I'll ever go that fast but its nice to think i can lol. Do you have stock shift points? The trans tuning not WOT

 

[bigtigga84]

WWell guess that's speed limiter not rev *******. I can't remember what i changed the wot rev to but it is higher than stock

I have the SC 3815 so I don't have the trans tuning options, just the WOT

lol....i saw that but did want to point it out and look like i was being a smart ass

LOL no worries. It's all good.

so I should just start with upping the rev limiter and see if that helps it?

 

[quietpeen]

yes.....the stock settings suck anyway

 

[bigtigga84]

Lol blond moment for the day. Do you have it on performance or stock tuning? The extra juice might help too

lol how much of an increase should I give it. Idk what the stock setting is.

It's on 87 tune right now and run 89 in it. I used to run performance tune but haven't for over a year since gas is so high. I can't remember if it did it while on performance or not.

Lol^

And yes, it has always done it. Messed around the the functions and what not, and it still does it. Very quick, but it's there.

LOL they are aren't they LOL never noticed that before. It is a cool looking shot.

 

[bigtigga84]

Hmm. Maybe i don't get on the highway enough to see if mine does it lol. For the last 4 months I've avoided any highway like the plague. Damn tourists lol.

Lol that it is

 

[bigbadram1500]

LOL

yeah, maybe I'll still go ahead and change it just to see if it makes any difference. Glad to read that I'm not the only one experiencing this. I was just worried that it might be harming the motor or tranny or something.
