I agree... just sound and feel. Doesn't matter what the speed is... if it feels right, I leave it... if it needs one more, one less... I shift there. They talk to you all the time... but not like the wife, so you listen!  |

SychoSly,
What prompted your question? 
It feels like I shift to fast and then the engine sorta feels like I am lugging it. I am probably just paranoid though.

These big girls hate to be lugged. I shift by the sound of the engine through the first three gears and I'll leave it in fourth up to about 55. After that, it's between fifth and fourth, depending on whether I need a little extra torque or not.

You probably are lugging.  Just shift down one and run her up a little more before you shift. Find the "sweet spot." 
It will take a little getting used to. After a while, you will know what she likes...and at what temperature, too!  |
