Tranny Shift Point Question

Tranny Shift Point Question
I have posted in another thread that we just purchased our first diesel pickup.
A 2005 RAM 2500 Quad w/ 5.9L Cummins Automatic
Maybe I am not used to the shifting of a diesel auto trans, but it seems that when you get on it a little bit from a stop that the tranny shifts too quickly from 1st to 2nd & 2nd to 3rd.
It does not slip at all, actually shifts nice and firm, just that the shift points seem quicker than a gas setup.
Does this make any sense at all???
The fluid is full and clean, not burnt at all.
Thanks

Well thats good to hear, I was getting worried
Yeah I swear the shift points seem to be within 5-10mph of each other. I will have to pay attention to the actual mph.
Freaked me out, I am used to the gas engines rev right up and shift points are spread out more. Must be a diesel low end torque thing???
BTW Happy New Year, Best of Luck in 2010, and Thanks for all the Help!!!!
Already looking into the Edge Juice w/ Attitude and maybe an exhaust...LOL
