RPM question

I test drove a 06 dually 6speed and I hit 4 grand on the tach really easy going through the gears..I wasnt getting on it that much..Is this normal or is the clutch going bad??..I got a 6speed right now with 38 inch tires on it and I can barely hit 3 grand.

Was it pulling hard when going to 4K or did it feel like a slipping clutch? Also it sounds like there is a programmer on the truck. A stock '06 5.9 shouldn't get much over about 3500 rpm. I know red line is 3200 but mine in stock mode will over run to about 3500 if you push it hard enough.

As a guess I'd say the tach or CPS is tango uniform. These things don't just go to 4k that easily.
