How many guys have went a good amount past redline (say like 1K) and had their engine survive with no internal work done? I know I am posting in the wrong area (should be in dodge) but their is nobody their to answer and I figured I would just poke around here with that question. Well anyway, my redline on my dodge ram is around 5500...well I took it to about 7100 and well lets say it wasn't THAT good. The throttle got stuck for some reason while the clutch was engaged but as soon as it went back into gear the rpms dropped down to about 3000 which isn't bad. Does anyone have any ideas on why it would jump up like it did ONLY with the clutch engaged? Please help because I don't want to have this happen again, I think it blue my alternator or something because one of the 3 components on that belt has got to be frozen up since the belt is slowly getting ripped apart when the engine was turned back on (thank God it fires back up with out any problems). It was idling fine with out any abnormal sounds except smoke pouring off of the belt. Had to turn the engine off before I could isolate which component was froze up. Also if any questions about the mods I have....modified stock intake with a stereo system and subs and when I hooked them up I regrounded the car in the same places but with 4 gauge wire instead of stock 10 gauge or whatever they used.
