Well the only reason you may see rpms that high is due to it kicking it out of gear and it more or less is just reving it up. i've also done this to my friends 2003 Duramax that he believes has a rebuilt tranny in it although when it shifts it shifts hard sometimes. We were just testing out the programmer on the 165 hp tune and i put it into limp mode by getting in it when we were rolling at about 55 mph and his to hit around 4.5k rpms.

this might seem silly, but what does this mean as far as the technical side of things... I know what glow plugs are and what a controller is, just curious what damage can be done and how to fix...
