Does revving a 2003 ford f-150 with 61,000 miles up to 5000 revs cause any damage or hurt it?
My foot slipped from the floor because I was reaching for something in the back seat, when my foot slipped off the floor and hit the gas pedal and revved it up to about 5000 revs, I'm wondering if it did any damage or will in the future, it seems to run good now however
The newer computerized cars have a limiter built into the engine management computer that will NOT ALLOW the engine to be over-revved to the point of damage.
It shouldn't hurt, if you don't do it all the time.
Your foot slipped OFF the floor onto the gas pedal… Yeah, okay then
No. I worked in test and development of new vehicles and engines and we would redline many during testing for longer periods than just a few seconds. Actually held one engine at redline until it blew a rod through the side out of the block and it took almost 30 minutes to do so.
Is the red line above or below 5000 rpm? There's your answer.
It won't rev over the redline. There's a spark limiter that makes it not run faster than that.
I don't K
I don't think so, just don't do it again.
I've got the same truck. V8 Ford f150
Had for 13 or 15 years already. It has over 200,000 miles on it. It's a great truck.
Maybe you stirred up the oil pan a little bit?
No your car is fine
- I'm looking into converting a van on a budget under $5000. What do you think is a reliable choice? Is newer or lower miles more important? Mechanical advice? Comparing a 1995 ford club wagon with 59000 miles to a 2007 ford econoline with 134000 miles?
- Can you damage your car engine by changing the oil at every 3,000 miles? The Ford dealer service advisors said that it could destroy the new engine by putting too much clean fluid in it. He advises every 10,000 miles between oil changes. I have a prepaid service plan. 2018 Ford Fusion
- Do you think buying a 2000 ford focus with 161,000 miles a good car purchase? For 1,000? I'm wondering if anyone will recommend, a 2000 ford focuse with 161,000 mileage as my first car, I recently got my drivers permit I want a car to practice my driving skills and I stubbled into the 2000 ford focus.
- Will I cause any damage if I use my manual fuel cutoff/shutdown as a throttle while I investigate why my actual throttle is stuck at full Had my cav rotary injection pump fixed on a diesel Ford tractor. The throttle is not operating correctly (stays at full throttle), is it going to hurt anything to use my manual fuel cutoff as a throttle while I investigate the issue.
