No Redline on tach.....

2722 Views 18 Replies 8 Participants Last post by  X's Revenge
Apparently Canadian cars in 09 didn't get red lines on the tachs...Does anyone in the US have a car with no red line??? Also, I wonder if the 10's in Canada have red lines???? I'll have to do some checking.....:?:

wow, thats weird, never seen that before.:think:
Why even have a tach if there is no redline?
does not make sense to me.
The tach is accurate...hits rev limiter at 5800 rpm...just that Canadian cars didn't get the red line....Chrysler never stops amazing me...Just like the SE "G" package in the US is the "SXT" in Canada....And all PCP Canadian cars are fully loaded Autos.....Makes no sense....

Oh I'm sure it's an accurate guage but every tach I have ever seen has the red line.
But then again I'm no auto savant or anything.
I never did understand the SXT challenger myself since it's basically, like you said, a SE G
oh I just had an evil fun thought:

take the car into the dealership and tell them "your redline fell off" and you want it warrantied!!! see how many of their guys notice this hahahahahaha
Have to take her in for the battery / cable recall when she's out of storage so maybe I just might see if the dealer has any clue about the "no red line" on Canuck cars....Doubt they do though...:eyeroll:

I don't think they have it based on the rev limiter, but that can be over ridden with a Tuner, if I recall, my 09' didn't have it either.
My SE didn't come with any blinker fluid and the flux capacitor was off.
Yes indeed, the US cars (on the R/T) are painted at 5800 rpm...And yes, if you get the predator you can raise the rev limiter if you like but I wouldn't risk it...Steve

Maybe for some reason they think 5800 revolutions per minute in the US equates to 7xxx revolutions per minute in Canada? How many seconds are in a minute there? hahah :rofl:

It's that danged metric system again...
WTB - Chrome Muffler bearings..... I would like to get my hands on the SRT8 style if possible.

see what the US guys don't know is that because our gas rates are cheaper our CDN cars go faster!!
never seen a cluster without the redline, but then again, i've never seen a Canadian version either.
There was no redline on the tach of my 04 Rumble Bee, thought it was cause it was an auto. So I was suprised to see one on my Challenger SE auto. They most likely were just trying to save costs on the use of all the extra ink required to put speedo in KPH or maybe one of the packages was redline delete, for the lowersound group, as they thought u would shift by ear since u bought the cheaper radio, who knows?

I put turbo stickers on my car and now it goes faster.
^ yeah well I have a sticker that says "At 230 kms/hr you have no friends" that right there is proof my car is fast!!


I did call my dealership for the missing Redline on my tach, I have an appointment booked for Friday, hahaha the service writer is my buddy and HE didn't even clue in, I'm getting an oilchanges and the visor lights checked, so it's still going in for a legitamate call.
