Here ya go, in case anyone is wondering what has been changed on the 5.0 Coyote between 2011-2019 (PDF Coyote Tech Ref 2), courtesy of Ford Performance.

Thanks Cobra Jet, outstanding info

So does this confirm that redline on Gen 3 is in fact 7500 rpm?

Hasn't it always been?

Yes, but with some questions. Ford has claimed 7500 rpm, but the tachometer shows what could be seen as a yellow area before redline at around 7300 rpm, and then full on redline at 7500 rpm. For both conditions, there's a smaller diameter arc in red that starts at 7300 rpm. However, there's a clear difference in the white markings between 7300 rpm and at 7500 rpm. I think the magazines claim 7400 rpm. But I just went out and checked and the full blown white lines start at what appears to be half way between 7000 and 8000 rpm, at 7500 rpm.

I like this document, I've had it on my computer for a while now, and have referenced it several times. Quite a few differences between each generation, esp. from Gen 2 to 3.

Thanks for posting this! The Ford illustrations are great in how the major improvement areas are highlighted on the engines.

This ^^^

There's been a lot of discussion, but I've always been a proponent of it being 7500.

I think the digital dash is pretty clear though showing redline at 7400 if I remember (cant verify since I have analog gauges).

 

[Silver Bullitt]

Digital dash - sure looks like 7400 redline to me.

Anything like this showing the differences between the engines found in the trucks and the mustangs?

The 7300 yellow is telling you to keep it off the rev limiter.
