Just curious to see what other Dak owners find themselves running at for RPM's when cruising?

I know engine size, tire size, even altitude and many more things can affect the RPM's but I just thought it would be fun and rather pointless but somewhat intersting to see where you all are at.

Running at 100km/h - 62 m/h I am around 1850-1900 rpm,

At 110km/h- almost 70 m/h I run on average at 2000 rpm, thats where I seem to get the best gas mileage verses speed.

Forgot that is with the O/D on of course...

 

im just shy of 1500 at 45-50 w/ od on at 2k w/ od off

 

between 75-80 mph - 2480-2550 rpms

 

my foot never comes off the floor so i stay at about 5k.. everywhere, even around corners...

na at 2k im going about 70mph. 3.92 in 3rd. With OD/OFF im at aboit 3100 going 70mph

 

im sittin around 1700-1800 at around 90kms. I think that sounds right. I never pay too much attention to that[8D]

 

Why even worry with an automatic? Hell even with a manual its just if I feel like using 5th.

 

Its not that I was worried about anything, it was simply an observation. I've changed my tire size over the years and found I have dropped a few RPM's on the hiway, everyone has a few mod's on their trucks and its interesting to find out what the average rev's they are turning while running at speed.

After reading someone's post about hard shifting when accelerating I was paying attention on my drive home where my trucked seemed to shift. Sometimes it rev's to almost 5000 before it shifts under hard pedal.

Just killing some boredom at work I suppose.

 

these trucks dont seem to like shifting if you are still on the gas, you have to let up a little to make it shift, or else it will just red-line on you

 

mine is the opposite. mine shifts before you let off the pedal. major pain in the butt trying to get on to the highway.

 

lol wow rofl, that must really sux, all three of our trucks (2 daks and a durango) refuse to shift if you are on the gas too hard until you let off a little nice to get onto the highway until you want it to shift and really put you into your seat
