This might seem like a silly question, but why is there no redline on the RPM gauge in my 2004 Silverado 4.8 ?

I mean, I don't usually use the truck with revs that high, it's more of a technical question more than anything!

Just wondering!

Good question. Maybe you can find some specs on the engine in your manual.

I would have thought there's no redline on the tach because the standard shift points are all well below the "real" redline of the engine. I just would like to hear other's opinions - there's a lot of knowledge on here!

This begs the question, does flooring the truck hurt it that much?
What about WOT starts and such? Providing it's warmed up, etc...

Well. if you have a automatic.. there is no need for the redline.. If it's manual. I would say the redline is at 5500 - 6000. That is what my 2000 5.3 shows.
