The new 2023 I have is the first 8 spd trans I have driven. The truck is so quiet and smooth I have to look at the rpm gauge to know if I am in 6-8 shifts. A few days ago I tried the manual down shift button on the steering wheel when at about 60 MPH and noticed the RPM going up as expected. Seems there is a button to activate this feature and I deactivated after shifting back up. Or so I thought. After that I noticed the RPM was staying up a little higher than before. Couple days later on a longer drive at highway speed (60-65) the RPM was staying at around 2300 instead of the 1800 or so I expected. Pressed the + button again twice and the RPM dropped to what I expected to see. Since I had started and parked the truck twice during these time periods my question is, will the manual gear setting stay activated even after shutting down the truck?
I'm still trying to understand how this system works and the manual was not of much help. Had to get back into the manual to learn how to set the mirror defrost feature since no button is designated for that. Found a two liner saying if equipped....the mirror feature is activated with the rear window defrost. Probably going to be in that manual many more times to learn the features of this computer on wheels.
