What is the RPM needed to downshift a dump-truck?

It is not so much the proper RPM but the difference in RPM between gears. If you up shift at 1800 and going in next gear you are at 1200, then you have a 600 RPM split between gears. So downshifting you would be around 1200 and would while floating gears or double clutching bring the RPM's up to 1800-1900. Many trucks have RPM range stckers on the visors my old Mack was 1050-1750, that's a 700 RPM range, I would down shift when I hit 1050-1150, at 1150 I would have to bring the RPM's up to about 1850 to get it to go into gear.


Why would your 1990 dodge truck 360 auto shift hard or hold to a high rpm?

Dodge Automatic Shifts HardThe downshift linkage that connects the throttle body to the transmission is either frozen or out of adjustment. Frozen linkage is common problem for Dodge automatics.

How do you down shift a semi?

When downshifting you let the truck run at a low rpm like around 1200 then easly take it out of gear and then rev the truck up about 300 rpm while shifting into the lower gear. Eventually you will get the feel of the truck and sound and will be able to do it in your sleep.

How do you use a tachometer?

Since this is a commercial vehicles category, I shall tell you how to shift via the tach. Every truck has an optimal RPM range. If you fall below that range the engine could stall; go above it and you'll use too much fuel. For this, our optimal range is going to be 1000 to 1500 rpm. When you are upshifting, you accelerate until the engine is running 1500 rpm, then shift. When you are downshifting, you decelerate until the engine hits 1000 rpm, then downshift. --------------- The 1500/1000 RPM range is sort of a default taught by truck driving schools. In reality, your upshift and downshift points will vary in accordance with a number of factors. Try upshifting at 1500 while on an incline in the mountains, and it won't work out very well for you. Same thing when it comes to heavy haul, or anything off-road. Personally, I prefer to upshift at 1900 - when you shift into the next gear, it puts you in that gear while you're still within the torque band, which is important - if you upshift at 1500, you typically hit the next gear at an RPM range just below the power band. While this may work out sufficiently in parts of Texas or Florida, where it's flat, all it'll do is bog down the engine in any place which isn't. This is hard on the drivetrain.
