hey guys I was just wondering if any of you have had this happen...today while I was driving I was going down a pretty decent size hill going about 40 mph or so and was picking up speed. I started to put on the brake just a little so I wouldn't be going too much over the speed limit and my rpms jumped from about 2000 to 3000 or 3500 (maybe somewhere in between but I know atleast 3000) and stayed around the 3000 level until I got to the bottom of hill. I started noticing this a couple of days ago and I honestly don't think anything is wrong I was just curious as to what would cause that? I hope I'm not asking a stupid question, I was just wondering cuz I know my 1999 chevy never did that and I don't ever remember my 2000 tundra doing it either.

Like I said though I hope I'm not asking a stupid question and any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

its your transmission downshifting to assist in downhill engine braking(safety feature).

ahhh ok...makes sense...I figured it was some type of saftey feature...but thanks for the info Big_Al1
