I try to watch the vacuum gauge. I have one of those dual gauges with vacuum and RPM displays. To be honest, I do not like it as much as I though I would. An upgrade to a dedicated RPM gauge and separate vacuum gauge is on my wish list.
Do you recommend to disconnect the kickdown solenoid switch on the gas pedal?
James Hupy wrote on Wed, 17 January 2018 14:54Get yourself a good vacuum gage and don't leave it in the package. INSTALL
IT. Then watch it. When it registers below 7 inches of vacuum, lift up on
the gas pedal, and manually downshift into second gear. Then proceed at 10
to 12 inches of vacuum until you crest the hill. Then, up shift to 3rd. It
will improve your fuel economy and make your engine last longer. You will
have a bit more time to enjoy the view out the windshield, too.

Looking back at some older discussions, I noticed that this one did not
generate any replies. I have the same question as Keith V - what is the best
way to drive our GMC in the areas with lots of hills?
