Default shifting out of 1st with gear selector on 1

I was just toying around and had it in 1st gear, it shifted out around 3500 with part throttle. Is this normal? I thought it was supposed to stay in that gear. thanks

Hell yes it pisses me off, makes me wish I had a manual. I'm trying to go easy on my tranny since it's stock and I just want to hear the truck at WOT with the new magnaflow. But I'm trying to avoid the 2-1 downshift since I think it's hard on the tranny and the 6.0 just lights up the rears.

They have it, it just doesn't seem like a lot anymore. When I first got it over the 4.8 I was like "damn" but now I need more.
