I got a 2007 dodge ram 1500 standard, when im parked and I accelerate my truck doesnt go over 2500 rpm , reach the 2500 and starts acting like its cutting the gas , but on the freeway I can accelerate ok , I can put it on neutral and accelerate and the rpm can go all the way up , im wonder its that normal or no

So this odd hesitation only happens when the truck's transmission is in park? If you're sitting still in neutral there's no problem?– JPhi1618Mar 23 '16 at 15:15

Well the truck is standard , im not moving the truck is in neutral and if I accelerate doesnt go over 2500 rpm , ani does that only when im completly stopped or im moving no more than 20 m/h– JohnMar 23 '16 at 15:20

This is completely normal and is a safety feature. When the car is parked, the ECU will limit the rpm. It is so that the engine is not worn out unnecessarily.
