Downshifting without revving up the engine?

Ed does not drive in the mountains. Try to catch a gear without revving the engine pulling a 6% grade or higher. Good luck to you. You may want to throw the 4 ways on while your truck comes to a dead stop in neutral.

 

Going up you shouldn't need to rev up the engine. unless skipping gears of course but I digress.

Going down ,maybe, but easier to just skip a gear.

 

How are you going to be pulling a mountain grade without revving up the engine to downshift? You are going to get caught in neutral or end up in 1st gear doing 3 miles an hour.

 

I am talking the rocky mountains. Not the ant hills you guys call mountains in the east.

It's really hard to describe and I'm a 1 finger typer

 

@REALITY098765 can you make a video of this shifting technique . because im not wrapping my head around the concept

 

Im trying to think about it. Im not really sure if i rev it up or not havent really paid attention... i think i understand what ur saying. But what is the benefit of shifting this way?
