Running @ 2700 RPMS highway What is to much RPM

[street-legal?]

I have a 94 PSD tow truck It has 5:13 gears i beleve. Its turning 2500RPm at 55 and 26-2700 RPM @ 60-63 ish. Is this bad for that poor motor?? Its a 5 speed manual so there no chance of it not shifting into overdrive.
It sounds like its going to blow up. Ive hurd never push the PSD past 2500 for a period of time.... Is this true?

Several years ago, I had a 00 F-550 and it would be about 3200 at 70 mph..

Don't know if it's bad for them, but it can't be good.

Oh my god... 3200 is cranking...
I thought 2700 was extreme..

hopefully someone that knows these motors will chime in.

I have a 95 with 4.10s and 5 speed. Sometimes when we go wheeling my truck will be over 3 grand for hours at a time pulling a 18ft trailer with a rock crawler. If you have a tuner or anything over stock keep an eye on you EGTs. Have a buddy that would get his rolling as fast as it would go and never let it off of the rev limiter for hours. No problems came from this either. JJ

Wow. I didint expect that. I guess 2600 is babyin it compared to that. LOL I thought that it would blow the injectors or HPOP or somthing go horribly wrong with my luck.

our 97 F450 wrecker runs about 3000 rpm to do 65-68mph in 5th gear, it has well over 200,000km on it and its fine...

my F550 roll off runs about 2700 @70mph with the 6 speed and it just turned 400,000km

you will be fine they will burn quite a bit of fuel running that high of rpm though ...

if you were asking me I have no idea I dont have any gauges in the wreckers as they are all 100% stock the way Ford made them...

with them turning that kind of rpm the boost is up and the turbos singing I cant see the egts getting out of hand with stock tuning

That makes me feel better. I just bought it and though oh my god im going to blow this Mother Fer up driving the speed limit LOL.. I cant even hear my self think its so loud driving 60 MPH. I would like to swap my gears for 4:10s... I cant seem to find out what parts that will interchange with my 94F450 with a dana 80 rear. I only found a set or two on ebay.. Theres comflicting onfo on if i can use a 4:10 or not with mt carrier.
Honestly i have no idea. I think ill just have to give her a try. I cant take that motor screeming all the time. I cant even hear my phone ring.
