Man, no reason to get upset over this simple discussion. Im just putting the facts as I know them on the table.
If you have higher gears, 3.73 or 4.10, and you go into overdrive quickly because of this, you should stay in overdrive. I dont know why your tranny would shift back and forth while driving around town? Mine doesnt do this and I have had no problems with "excessive" back and forth shifting.
I do live in a flat area though, and I guess if you were driving in a hilly area, this might happen more often.
Out of your powerband...*cough, cough, BS*, one blip of the throttle and you should downshift to third or second, depending on how fast your going and what gear your in at the time, automatically , and be right back in it.
Maybe your engine is a dog?
If your that worried about being out of your powerband and burning up overdrive, suit yourself.
I never said you couldnt drive that way. Im just saying I think people overeact about he "shifting back and forth" thing, and you are a perfect example.
How is wasting gas and more wear on your engine bullshit? When you drive around in a lower gear and turn your engine at a higher RPM, this is what happens. Can you please explain your remarks? Oh, maybe your full of BS yourself?
