Reached 5k before shifting in my 4 cylinder...damage?

Got a little carried away today, engine got to 5k before I had to lay off the gas in order to shift. I have the 4 cylinder taco. You guys think letting the RPM's that high for a second or two harmed anything? Truck runs fine still, just curious.

Before anyone starts judging me...this was a joke...

 

Seriously?

 

Hahahahaha, no.

 

I think he's serious... which is fine... I guess?

 

These are more along the lines of what I was going for hahaha.

 

What's the redline?

 

It's where babies are made.

 

Who among us doesn't get a little carried away once in a while. There's absolutely nothing like running a series of eight or ten 360s across a wet pasture at dawn!! Usually, no harm done. Running an engine at higher rpms is not usually considered a good thing for MPGs and engine stress/engine lifespan. From now on, you're just gonna have to try to control yourself a little better. At least that's what I tell myself.

 

Don't tell me what to do.

 

My apologies, TacomaZL. My post certainly wasn't and attempt to tell you what to do. It was merely a light-hearted suggestion. Oh, here's another suggestion: Red line that little 4 banger from Joliet to Moline!! Just don't forget to take pictures.

 

Addicus, what did I say about telling me what to do.

 

Well now, TacomaZL, you said not to tell you what to do. I would never try to tell you what to do. It was only a suggestion. But, I think you really should try it.

 

If I had a dime for every time I heard my girlfriend say that exact same thing...

 

there is a revlimiter there somewhere.... v6 is at 5.5ish k rpms.... hit it many a time.... no worries.... and the 4 banger is way more rev happy

 

I know, TacomaZL. Your girlfriend already told me that's what she says to you. Hell, she says the same thing to me. Maybe we should listen to her.

 

Drive it like you stole it.
