Does anyone else's Cruise Control do this?
After you touch the brake say and coast down to about 60 mph, if you had the cruise originally set say at 75 the ECU winds the crap out of the motor up to about 3100 rpm and it doesn't shift until it winds way up...why not have the truck shift sooner so it is in its torque band? The powerjokes that I have driven even have that right!

Mine is a 6-speed, but if I'm about 15 miles slower and I hit resume, it will sometimes pull so hard it goes past the original speed. Then it will slowly come back down. Usually I just get back to the desired speed and set it again.

Every Dodge truck or van auto that myself or anyone in my family has had done that. That said, my '06 hasn't done it yet even towing the last time, though admittedly it wasn't a particularly hilly route
My parents traded a Dodge '98 1/2 ton 360 CC gasser off because of that once.....

Advocate of getting the ban button used on him...
My 6spd will also pull real hard to get back to speed but 99% of the time I just get back to about my set speed and hit resume or I just reset it to a new speed.
