When do you guys shift?

[XYota]

if im trying to save fuel i shift thru em at 2K or a lil above it. i also shift 1st 2nd 4th then 6th. and i can get 350 miles to a full tank.

but when i get on i shift 4000 - 5000 and hit each gear.

haha who's this "manuel" you speak of? Is he one of those mexican guys sitin on the corner :laugh:

I was in a hurry, didnt care about the spelling :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

i normally shift around 2500, because i love the sound of my stock exhaust, and thats the range when you can really hear it.

but when i get on the freeway, i just go WOT and shift at 5100

 

[ntinhri]

im WOT all the time!

Why would anyone not shift between 2k-3k rpms under normal conditions? You're wasting clutch/gas otherwise...

 

[Murderface]

I shift above 3K so I don't ever hear gear Nash from the lite flywheel. I only fill up once a week and do 300 miles driving on a tank:top:

Well to be honest "normal driving" for me is haulin ass just about everywhere. Since I've owned the truck I have been shifting on average around 4 to 5 k everytime. My mpg hasn't been that bad but hasn't been good either. I get about 16 a gallon. Kinda weird but I've noticed the more mods I do to the engine the less I floor it. That's why I wanted to get an idea on everyone else

I passed an older coworker yesterday doing 70 on the interstate and he walks up to me this morning and asks why i drove the truck so hard? I fell out laughing. Bear in mind, I was driving normally nothing hard, or fancy and the speedlimit intact....LOL

Pretty much every 10m/h unless I feel the need to speed

I shift when the the engine noise says too. I rarely look at the tach when I'm driving. Except when i'm cruising on the hwy and then the tach is at about 2800 and i'll be doing just over 80mph. As for gas milage I get about 18 no matter how I drive it, so I drive it and have fun while doing it. No S/C as of yet bet in the works to geting one.

25-3000 for me, I just listen for it! Love the growl! But like ketchup I like to ping the limitter from time to time!

 

[TRD-X]

I run that bad boy hard! Always over 4000 rpm.:top:

 

[Kailua-X-Runner]

usually around 2.5 / 3

das cuz around 2.5 / 3 u can hear the difference and time for shift... under normal driving conditions...IMO..

 

[xrunnin]

yeah I usually shift at about 3K. has anyone notice though if you are in too high of a gear at a lower speed there is a slight rattle or does it sound like my counter shaft bearing in the trans might be going up? GADGET if you hear me help!!

 

[Gutz]

I shift when my automagic tells itself to.... :laugh:

 

[mspencer1281]

my gas milage is an average 20-21mpg I keep it calm. gas is to high almost 3.40

 

[PiNkY]

I honestly don't think I've ever goten better than 18. And that was when she was bone sock even.

 

[DERRIXRYD]

I usually shift between 2k-3k. Unless I really need to go...:laugh:

Oh crap, look at that. I went over 2000 posts and didn't even know it.

^ You're on the way to catching up to me young padawan!:laugh:

 

[Kailua-X-Runner]

how many of you push your clutch all the way in/down?
