Headed in the Right Direction?

[cmaneverett]

I have a U7195 on a 2003 Chevy Silverado 1500HD. I wanted to adjust the rpm's higher at WOT. I moved the upshift rpm's up to 5900, and the rev limiter right above that. When I test drove the truck it felt like a speed limiter or something came in. Just quit going until I let up. Then it shifted. So I moved the upshift rpm to 5800, and moved the rev limiter up to around 6000 rpm. Test drove it, it was better, I didn't have to let up this time, but took a second to shift into second. Am I heading in the right direction? Should I move the rev limiter up more? Do I need to change the upshift MPH?

I think the issue here is that you are revving the motor past its power band.
These trucks generally make peak power at around 5000-5200 rpm.
I would put the shift points at about 5500 rpm max.
