Ideal UpShift RPM on "stock" 5.3?
#11
I definitely need to tweak that, haha. (I have stock height tires and 3.73's FWIW)
As for the AC clutch:
Stock setting was OFF @ 5250, ON @ 5000.
I lowered mine 2000 rpms to 3250 OFF and 3000 ON.
Even though I never steady cruise any higher than 2000 or rpm's, I didn't want to go any lower and have the AC kicking on & off too much.

I "think" (not 100% sure) that my Camaro's 3>4 shift MPH is set artificially high so that it never shifts into OD if the car is at WOT.
On my truck I didn't change the stock setting of 5200 on the 3>4 shift, but in all honesty I doubt I'd ever get this truck moving fast enough to fully wind out 3rd gear (Drive) anyway.

It's ok, if i could get it stay hooked it would go faster. But the hotckis leafs allow me to hook then they bounce back and i lose traction a bit then it grabs again. But in any event she will have a 6.0l by this winter so who knows what the 5.3 would have done.
