RPM And Upshifting Question

Ok I see what happens you ran to 2000 in 4th and did not realize it. So you shifted to 5th and then to 6th. Trying to correct the high rpms am I right? What I would have done is skiped 5th and gone to 6th at that point. You are progressively shifting up and acclerating at the same time your rpms will be high intell you get your speed down for there gear you are in or get into a higher gear for the speed. Dose that make sense?

Ah I see. I think you hit the nail on head with my problem. Thank you. The way I was shifting I'm guessing since I let the rpms get to high in 4th to begin with that made me constantly "behind" I'm guessing. So when I went to 5th I made the engine want to be in 6th and when I went to 6th then my engine wanted to be in 7th etc etc. So I should have skipped a gear at some point to "catch up" or let off the throttle a little or tapped the brake to allow my rpms to fall to 1500 and then I could go through my upshifts(in numerical order). And since I was trying to get up to 45 mph quickly, the best choice should have been to just skip a gear then. I don't remember this happening in school where the instructor told me to skip a gear when this happens and I'm sure it happened. But when it did happen I must of either had to come to stop right after due to a turn coming up or a stop sign or light, etc. so I never really saw what I would have had to do if I kept upshifting in numerical order while trying to also accelerate quickly. Never really was taught about skipping gears but I know I have accidently skipped a gear before and the truck didn't respond very well to that because I was naturally set up for the next numerical gear. So I guess I thought skipping a gear while upshifting was a no-no. But it alright to do given the circumstance but I shouldn't make habit of it I guess, Right?

Is would not make a habit of it, and remember your a huge truck your not. Going any wear fast so don't worry about driving like a race car driver. You will get up to speed, be safe first. There is a tone of stuff to lurn out here.
