Hey Guys! Hope all is well!

Need to help to identify the problem.
2014 explorer XLT Automatic
Bigger Tires 295 45 20
SCT Tune

What happens is when i floor the gas the RPM maxes at 6300-6400 rpm and stays there and will not shift up until i release the gas.

Is this because of the bigger tires or something off with the tune?

I doubt it is due to the tires. They have a 3% diameter difference which is the generally accepted maximum variance if they replaced 245/60R18 tires.
I don't run a 'tune' so I can't comment on that.

Retune it to stock and see what happens, only way to rule out the tune and easiest thing to start with.
 






Tried to return it to stock tune settings guys, unfortunatelly it's still the same. Any ideas?
 






See if there are any codes?
 






Haaah, got it. It was the rev limiter causing it on drive. Increased it and its gone. Thanks nyway!
