From my house to work there is this hill, I would say a 6-8 degree incline for about may be 1200 feet, at the bottom there's a light. when I was on my 3.73 factory gears and the 33" tires I have I would see it shift from 1st to 2nd gear at about 2500-3000 RPMs and from 2nd to 3rd it would go all the way to 5K before switching to 3rd gear starting from the light, even under medium gas pedal push, not flooring it. I used to think that it was due to the tire size and the gears. A year later and the switch to 4.56 and it still does that. If I am going up the hill and let of the gas for a split second or force the gear shift on the stick to 3rd I can see that it can still run up and increasing velocity at a nice 2500-3000 RPM, is there a reason why it wouldn't want to change to 3rd and run on lower RPMs and keep climbing at 4K RPMs if I keep the gas pedal steady??
As I said if I punch it, it will eventually shift at 5K, if I let off the gas for a second it will shift to third. I stay constant it will go all the way to the top of the hill at 3500-4000 RPM until I hit the crest.
I'm just curious, why it does that
