6.0L Power Stroke Engine and DrivetrainDiscussion of the 6.0L Power Stroke diesel engine and drivetrain in the 2003-Up Super-Duties and Excursions. No gas engine discussion allowed except on transmissions and drivetrain that pertain to all models. Please confine discussion of topics in this forum to those items that are specific to the 6.0L Power Stroke engine.
You are not my boss, so don't talk to me that way. You got your question answered and should thank the nice people here who took you seriously.

Whoa there hoss, no offense was intended or should have been taken. Just trying to explain why I am interested in the information. As always, every reply is appreciated. By the way, do you have any idea what the red line might be, or just sensitive.
Regards

............... Just like I'd also like to know what the yellow line temp on the trans represents in degrees, hell, it doesn't matter celius or farenheit, give me a number.
Thanks.
Regards to all.

This excerpt taken directly from my 2003 6.0 Liter Owners Guide SUPPLEMENT:
Engine governed speed
The engine governor is controlled by the PCM. The PCM controls fuel input to limit maximum engine speed. It will not, however, prevent engine overspeeding resulting from downshifting at high vehicle speed or by descending steep grades at too high a vehicle speed for the selected transmission gear.
For maximum vehicle speed in various gears, refer to Manual transmission shift speeds in the Driving section of your owner's guide. Do not exceed 3,600 rpm. Maximum engine governed speed is 4,000 rpm depending on engine load. Excessive rpm can only be achieved by manually downshifting at too high of a vehicle speed.
Operating the engine beyond the governed speed can cause severe engine damage.
This Paragraph was quoted directly from page 5 of my Power Stroke Supplement booklet.

It makes sense especialy for a 6 speed. The ECM can kill fuel completly thus governing RPM's, vehicle movement in gear will spin the motor to whatever it'll take before self-destruction. Ways to stop the motor from spinning when the truck is moving is a crank brake or compression braking (like a true Jake Brake) which is all just therory wiht the 6.0.

Whe Ford went with the different style guages in '05, they did not put a "redline mark" on the guage. Thats why you boy's with older 6.0L's see the mark and the '05 and newer guys don't [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif[/img]
Tach 'er up to about 3200 before you shift if you're in a hurry. You'll be happier with the results when you yank the next gear. It took me awhile to get used to this, but I'll take mine up to 3400 or 3600 before I shift, and it performs well. It won't hurt the engine, it'll blow the soot out of the egr, and hell, it's FUN!

That's not very good advice, Greg.... Overspeeding is always a concern. Connecting rods and connecting rod fasteners have a finite strength. As the piston, rod assembly passes over TDC, they change direction of travel rather abruptly. The centrifugal force is immense... you might get away with it once... you might get away with it twice.... but overstress is still overstress and it will catch up with you eventually....
Ever thought of fleshing out your qualifications????

My eyes bugged out as I read that too. That's a lot of rotating mass to spin at 8000 RPM. I've probably got over $3000 just in high end crank, rod's pistons etc. (not to mention the balancing and assembly and all the machine work that it takes to put one together right) in my boat motor (540 cid) but I'd never think of spinning it up to 8000 RPM and it's less than 10:1 compression and I'm sure much less weight. 6000 RPM maybe but not for long and its build to turn about 5200-5400 peak. I'd like it to last just as I would my "diesel" truck motor. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I'm sorry, sir, but you are incorrect. You might have a redline indicator on your truck, but there is none on mine. Seems odd they wouldn't do that on a stick shift.
