Did i hurt anything?
Well i was sittin at one of the usual sittin spots tonight in town talkin to a few friends. Of course its loitering to sit out there so we were in our trucks. I saw a friend comming down the road and was just watchin him go by turned around kind of in my truck.. I didn't notice but my foot was on the corner of the gas pedal a bit and reved up hitting the rev limiter quite a bit(6000rpms).. I figured it was just someone else.(kinda retard moment). Scared me though when i found out it was me.
Afterwards i was checkin a bit to see if anything was hurt. Someone saw a little black smoke from the muffler. But i saw that nothing was wrong.. Actually it kind of ran a little better. So is there any thing that i am overlooking that couldve hurt my engine?

atleast your cats have been cleaned out... haha
the rev limiter is there for a reason.. If you hurt something by hitting the 6k rev limiter, you have done something.. ive hit my 6500rpm rev limiter doin a burnout.. so mine aint dead yet. So dont worry bout it.. at least your exhaust is cleaned out!

I don't have that many miles on my truck (14k), but everytime I drive pretty much it sees 6000. no TM feels real nice while shifting from 1st to 2nd now

0%TM is awesome, add a Super Servo to the list and you get 1-2 shift rubber on the ground. I got a built tranny now, just waitin on my freakin Torque Converter to get here. My truck is sittin under the shop waiting. The stock tranny was still working after 150k miles and shifting very nice. I just wanted to be ready for the little extra power after the STS Turbo goes in.
