Hi,
First time Ram owner, but not really new to trucks. My subdivision has a lot of hills and valleys. It SEEMS like when going slow and on a downhill slope, it doesn't really want to upshift. RPM's go to like low 3's doing around 20-25mph. It seems "sticky" but my gut tells me it's just the way Ram is. Is that pretty much right?
I've tried using the "gear up" button, but it doesn't seem to work, although "gear down" seems to work, and then you can, I think, gear up (have to read the manual more on that function)...
It's a 2015 Laramie with the 5.7 and 8 speed trans.
Thanks!
Edit: if I go a bit faster down the slopes it will upshift, but I don't want to be doing 35-40 in a 25mph neighborhood with a fair amount of kids around.
