    A serious answer then. There is no semi truck out there that will get past 10,000 rpm. That's not your problem.

    So the question becomes just what are the symptoms? What have you done so far for diagnosis?

    You might need to get it towed to a dealership so they can hook the computer up to it

    I meant 1000 and I said that in the thread I also said it had been hooked up to diagnostic and nothing was reading the mechanic said it’s like it stuck on idle and the air filters where changed

    No, you did not.
    And again, if the mechanic cannot diagnosis the issue you need to get it to one that can.

    It's directly behind brake pedal, on a wall behind plastic wall cover. Sorry that all I know

    Can you idle it up higher on the cruise/ high idle switch ... if so it may be your throttle pedal switch .. the hissing sound should be easy for your mechanic to find if he can’t maybe it’s easier to find a new mechanic
     
    Rideandrepair Thanks this.
