Maybe I didn't explain it well enough...
The truck obviously runs to redline for each gear when you're on the throttle...
What I'm trying to explain is this - My Flex, as an example, simply stays in a gear that makes sense for the speed. Doing 50mph and going to WOT, it seems to only need to kick down 2 gears (so probably 4th to 2nd).
In the truck, once you are cruising with little throttle, it always wants to be in 6th gear. This means romping on the throttle results in a bunch of downshifts. Even applying a little bit of throttle causes a downshift - Very, very, very annoying. The Flex does nothing of the sort.
Also - This is the stock behavior as well.

Very, very sweet truck by the way, I really like the build!
