When do you guys shift?

[GR6RR]

^ I agree, highlight it and it'll be a bit easier to deal with.

rpm is the abbreviation of regular per minute........ Overdrive has been changed at the overdrive solenoid so that so that you don't need to fool with the overdrive button.

Typo? Revolutions per minute.

I usually shift according to speed, I shift into second at 20, shift into third at 35, into fourth at 45, and fifth at 55. Havent really used sixth since I mostly do city driving. I noticed that if I cruise steady between 2k and 3k the truck gets better gas mileage.

I usually shift from 1st to 3rd then from 3rd to 5th and cruise around 2k.

[widdoz runner]

wow you guys make me fell like im mrs daisy lol. the mrs shifts roughly at 15, 25 35 etc or when she hears the engine "whine" but i noticed that our motors whine at to points( dont ask what rpms they are i just hear it) and if im going flat out normally i use the second whine as a shift, im im playing i use the first whine, and when im relaxing i shift round 1500-1700 rpm... always above or below the speed limit but thats me. my own pace

 

[hotrodt]

Haha imagine!

No need to imagine here buddy. Trust me it happens.

 

[widdoz runner]

damn v8s lol i thought you guys could rev to 8400 with the ls motors?

 

[hotrodt]

I'm sure 8400 is possible with right valve trane and balanced bottom end w arp rod bolts.

 

[widdoz runner]

[JPAYNE722]

I shift after about 3k, its an easy transition between each gear. It seems to let the gear change happen much easier and with less effort. Plus, I've noticed that most alternators aren't really used to their full potential, till after 2.5-3k. My brother had a mustang that he shifted around 1.5-2k to try and save gas.....his battery died often. He took it to the garage, and found out he was shifting too low. And the alternator wasn't spinning up enough to change the battery. Plus the power doesn't really seem to come out till about 2.5k.

about 2500 trying to save gas i guess

I would think a smaller pulley would fix that
