Re: Red line on 258
 

The factory tach on my 88 has 4500 as redline, I'll never
have to worry about hitting that!!!

I found this:

<URL:http://www.carfolio.com/specifications/models/car/?car=104016>

Which claims that the red line on the 258 is 3500. I find that kinda
curious, since the diesels that drive the generator sets I work with run
at 3600.
