Hello all. I've heard (and been told) many things about how I should be driving my CTD (this is my first). I normally shift at 1500 until the engine is warmed fully, then shift around 2000 after that.

I'm not shy about getting on it when I need to, but in normal driving that's what I do.

Opinions? What do others do?

 

Pretty much how I drive mine. 1600-1700rpm when first start driving but then 1900-2100rpm after a few miles of warm up time. Then the ever-so-often 2600-2800rpm shift!!! Just to let people know I am bigger and faster than they are.

 

same here 1500 till she warms up then 1900-2200 ,and the times to show off 2500-3000 just to feel myself pulled into the seat ,some times even start out in 1st just to go through all 6 gears,Life is good with a Cummins...

 

1500 until warm then 2,000 when driving normal. at least once a day i will shift at about 3,400 or so. just because its fun.

 

1250 till shes upto temp, then 1750-2000 after that.....and like everyone else a couple 3200-3500 shifts, just so i can chirp the tires going into 4th!!!

 

you guy's are making me jealous with all this shift talk I wish I had a 6 speed
