What are the shifting speeds for a straight truck is it 1500 for the up shift and 1000 for the down shift like on a combination vehicle?

1500 up and 1000 down is a general rule of thumb... it'll vary by different motors. For example, you're actually better off to shift up with a Mercedes-Benz MBE or Volvo VED motor around 1700 RPMs. All the same, the general rule of thumb applies to a straight truck just as it does a combination vehicle... why wouldn't it, after all?
What may change - and this will be dependent on how the vehicle is geared - will be your recovery gear. I'm assuming in driving school you were taught to add the two numbers of your current speed (in the nearest increment of five) to get your recovery gear from that. Thus, if you missed a gear, and your current speed was 25 miles per hour, you would add 2 + 5 = 7, and 7th gear would be your recovery gear. Many straight trucks - especially those intended for sitework use - are geared much lower, and you may need to add one number to your total to find your recovery gear, so that, at 25 miles per hour, you'd add 2 + 5 for a total of 7 then add one more, and 8th gear would be your recovery gear.

How do you put your Ford F-150 into 4x4?
depends on what year or what transfer case u have............. with a pusbutton 4x4 system u can push the button at any time at low speeds, on older stick shifting transfer cases u must put the vehicle in neutral, but newer stick shifting transfercases can shift on fly
Is shifting your car in to neutral while driving bad for the car?
If you are driving under 30 MPH it probably won't do much damage, but shifting to neutral at highway speeds and you will ruin your engine. If you start skidding on an icy road (probably going 20 MPH or less) shifting to neutral will take you out of the skid and stop your vehicle immediately. Doing this spared me from colliding with another car when I was skidding in snowy weather.
What are the shifting speeds for motorcycles?
I'm assuming by "shifting speeds" you mean when the manufacturer recommend you select the next gear. This will vary from bike to bike depending on the engine, transmission, and final drive ratios. You would find the information for your specific motorcycle in the user manual that came with it.
What are the effects of unaligned TIRES?
A vehicle that is incorrectly aligned will show uneven wear on the front tires. The vehicle may also have front end vibration at higher speeds and may pull to one side while driving on a straight piece of road.
How does the cars stability against sidewinds change with increased speed of the car?
As a driving instructor I know my students have more control at slower speeds than at higher speeds. This is true even for pulling to a curb and backing straight. If my student is at 3-5 mph, he will stay in a straight line more often than backing up between 5-10mph. The faster a vehicle is going the harder it will try to go straight. Applying this to resistance against sidewinds, at freeway speed there is more resistance from the vehicle trying to keep straight, all this resistance from the wind and vehicle makes it harder for the driver to control the vehicle on the road. This I've learned from being a driving instructor. I would like to see a physics experts' comments on this.
Where can you find the recommended gear change speeds for your car?
The vehicle manual usually says what speeds to do in which gears.
How does Traveling at high speeds effect your vehicle?
It causes the vehicle to arrive at its destination in less time.
How do you disengage four wheel drive 1998 Lincoln Navigator?
Shifting from 4H to 4L (and 4L to 4H) 1. Bring the vehicle to a stop. 2. Depress the brake. 3. Place the gearshift in N (Neutral). 4. Move the 4WD control to the 4H (or 4L) position. Shifting from A4WD to 4H Move the 4WD control from A4WD to 4H at any forward speed. Shifting from 2H to 4H can be done at speeds up to 88 km (55 mph).
At higher speeds a vehicle's rate of acceleration will be?
There's no necessary connection between a vehicle's speed and its acceleration.
What is tilt steering?
The aim (apart from "proof of concept") was to construct a vehicle that can be safely ridden at speeds up to 50km/h with good roadholding and handling, but at the same time leaving the riders arms free to be used in combination with the feet to drive the vehicle.
