Post your shift points

[95metro]

Neither can I...I have no tach, not even a "silly" digital one. I need to find a Metro LSI cluster. They had tachs.

Mwahaha, my new tach is up and running and I very much like it.

'Nuff said.

It's about shifting a manual. i was being sarcastic. i can make my auto shift at any rpm I want, it just depends how much I press the gas pedal.

Yes, the point of the thread is where you actually make it shift. Any of us can shift wherever we want.

Can you elaborate a little on that. I would love to know how to make my auto shift 5 MPH sooner.

I found diesel programmers that are set up for efficiency. Most just dump more fuel into the truck at low revs, and advance the injection. The engines make more black smoke after these mods. One (Edge Performance) also claims to let you alter the shift points (at WOT) and hydraulic oil (clutch) pressure without touching the engine programming.
......

I'm going back to GM trucks as soon as I can.

When I talked to Miro at Synlube he said a lot of the diesels are built in Mexico rather poorly and they blow up or fail and make a lot of noise when running from poor machining tolerances. Full throttle is injecting too much fuel - I see it here all the time and there is no need for it - back off a little - acetone is supposed to reduce the soot and black smoke - 2 oz per 10 gallons.
