who shifts at what speed?

im just curious to see how other people treat thier trucks, so who shifts what gear at what speed? (on average) and how often is it right at red-line? and if your wondeing why i ask, its for a couple reasons, but mainly to show people the difference between mini-truckers and rice-rockets, and so far most people in the rice rocket section(i beat my crx too) seem to really abuse thier cars (oh and im really easy on my truck, its like my baby)

well thanks for the info in advance

1st gear 3500rpm 2 gear 3000rpm 3 gear 4000rpm
5 gear as far as I can

2500rpm - 2750rpm. I usually don't go over 3000rpm unless I have to

I've got a 92' B2600i and I seem to get the best mileage shifting between 3000 and 3500 RPM, while I get the best acceleration shifting between 3500 and 4000 RPM. Highest I've taken it is 4500, unless you count the time I lost traction in the rain while in first, it hit 5 grand that time. By the way, I'm a 23 year old male who builds and races Camaro's.

6k after i rebuilt the motor. in process of looking for a better motor now for reasons i would rather not say.
oh yeah its a 86 b2000, that motor really sux after 3500 rpm.

In my '89 B2200 I shift to gears at 3000 rpms. It also usually shift to 2nd at 20mph, 3rd at 30mph, 4th at 40mph, and 5th at 60mph.

ive taken my 1st to 25 n my 2nd to 40 3rd to 60 4th to 90 n then 5th i have a 2000b2500 4 cylindar

your pcm wont let you overrev the motor i beat my truck daily 1-20 2-35 3-55 so on I dont have a tach and mine is a 90 b2200i that i have completely rebuilt the motor new rings and a ported head its like night and day compared to a carburated unit

well if there are no cops around i shift constantly at 6500 to 7 grand the motor has seen the highest part of the tach i think thats 8 grand, that was a mistake ;) and if there are cops around then i baby it and shift it around 2500 to 3000. i know i beat the crap out of my truck but it handles it just fine so untill it blows thats how ill treat it
