you talking stock or modded? What mods? HP or TQ? You change things and the lines move. Also, I consider the "sweet spot" to be where power and mpg's are optimized, not necessarily the spot on the curve where the truck is procucing the most HP...

I feel like my truck pulls the hardest around 3000 rpm. But like Hammer said, it all depends on what you have done or have not done to your engine.

Between 3000 and 5800rpm seems to be the strongest.

things makes torque everywhere, lots of it. hotspot for torque is about 4k, but it aint too much better than the rest of the curve.
