Its 505 cubic inches. 1000 rpms is more power than most civics at 6000 rpm. Shift where is comfortable for u. Just dont worry its gonna blow. She'll be just fine.

Haha you make a really good point. Yea normally when im driving around town I cruise at no more than 60 and leave it in 5th gear turning around 1700ish rpm. I guess it does worry me about running it at only 1000 rpm and maybe thats why I have never done it.

6th gear, check engine light is on because the ecm is looking for some emission equipment that isn't there anymore.:chain:

Yea that looks exactly where mine would be as well. Like I said, just seems low but I guess its normal with these trucks

We've argued this before and I agree the guys purposefully shifting early is nuts. No way should you even be in 5th at 35 with 4.10s. My 4.56 rear is barely happy there. No it may not BLOW the engine but bearings hate you for it! Read your owners manual on shift speeds. It's damn close! Sorry, but riding around in 6th lugging the engine is not right. If it were meant to be like that we'd only get 3 speeds. 1, 3 and 6, hahaha. Nucking futs I tell ya!
Here's my video on the subject

With the 4.56's in my '04 now I can drag my bass boat down the road. 6th works really fine @55mph and above.
For me 4.10's just way too tall for the stock dia tires. With the 4.56's and the proper carrier the rear end is totally quiet, quietest 4.56's I've *never* heard and pulling the boat is a dream. Pulling it out of the lake, just let out the clutch like normal and drive, no slipping, no spinning the tires, no drama.

I swapped my 4:10's for 4:56's this past spring and I couldn't be happier. It's more fun to drive around town and I didn't lose any of it's 6th gear highway cruising ability.
The 4:10's always felt like they were holding the engine back. I completely get why they changed to 4:56's after 2004.

Only thing that would make this debate better is to add in some auto vs manual logic.
I heard that, like 4.88s, T56's make a truck way quicker on the streets!
