If you found yourself here reading this I’ll first start off and say this is a Ford Ranger forum, get your filthy minds out of the gutter. ?
Anyway I posed this question the Phil, so I’ll ask everyone so you can all take turns telling me either how dumb I am (most likely) or you’re gonna blow yourself up if you keep driving (not as likely).
So why when cold do my RPMs rev up much higher (louder as well) than normal when shifting from first to third? I’ve been using the remote start since I got the truck and it’s been very cold. When I dont remote start the first two minutes of shifting when 1st to 3rd, with light to moderate pedal pressure has the truck see 3000 + ish rpm’s. RPMs seem to hang a bit. I wouldn’t say any harsh shifts, maybe some jumpy downshifts and firm up shifts but nothing I’m concerned with. I really noticed this today when hoping back in my truck from a 10-15 minute stop at the gas station. Figured truck was still warmed up since I drove home an hour and this stop was after that. But turned truck on and took off maybe 20-30 seconds later with first revving really high before going to third. No hard shift, firm but felt like I was almost in neutral it even though I had normally pedal pressure. Also much louder but wondering if that may be the cooling fan?”
If you’re still reading this, I sincerely apologize ?. You could be off fishing or something rather than here, listening to my dumb, long drawn out question.
Also, if this is normal why exactly do these trucks do this. I’d like to understand the mechanism of why this happens so I can be slightly less ignorant. My older trucks did this a little bit but not as pronounced as this truck. Larger transmission?Again no lurching, shifts were normal for a “cold truck”.
