WTH are you talking about? NOBODY responds "You'll shoot your eye out kid," with regards to gear changes. In fact, the majority SUPPORT and ENCOURAGE gear changes, regardless of whether they're necessary or not.
Thinking about a gear change? It's more like, "Go for the 5.30's kid."
Ha! I agree completely.
But, it's often "Don't bother, it's still not a 1 ton diesel kid".
On other non-rv sites, they tell you the truck will suddenly start getting 10mpg on the freeway unloaded. And you engine will wear out super fast from turning "so much" RPM.
Like they don't use the same gas engines in boats that cruise around at 4k+ their whole lives.
