Safe to ride the governor on these?
 

On my NBS as well as my 12v, it was safe to ride the governor, with a load, from here to the moon and back, and the motor would be sound. Is it the same with my OBS? Because I put it in first and the rpms went into the orange-area.. while it seemed like the governor was working, I wasn't sure and backed off. Am I just worrying too much?

please define what NBS and OBS is:s:

Old body style and new body style powerstroke.


Did your kid ever pay up? Hehe

OBS is Old Body Style... I have no idea what NBS is...

There is no reason to hold the truck at those RPM's for any amount of time, your peak TQ is at about 2500RPM, drive it there if your looking for power, otherwise shift.

Well it's an auto, which = lamo for towing. I'm just saying; say I have a 15k lb load, going up a huge hill. I put it into say, 3rd gear with the pedal down, while riding the governor. Would the truck be able to handle it like the NBS trucks can?

You will loose alot of people with the NBS... Just call it a superduty.

last week the truck was mine again...............monday he coughed up the coin to get it back....................never know what next week will bring though:s: kids I tell ya

I don't see any reason to redline the engine. Lock out overdrive and go

Fair enough:tu: Thats what we call them on the ORG

LOL!!!! Thats awesome. Tell him he better take care of that thing or I'm gonna snatch it up from him.

So your saying just put the pedal down and let the trans/motor work how they are supposed to..

thats what they are there for
