RPM increase when excelerating.

My 2008 tundra revs up when accelerating while making a turn. Any ideas?

 

I suspect that it's probably a 2-1-2 down/upshift, particularly when things aren't warmed up yet. The transmission has a different shift schedule when it's not up to operating temperature.

 

Revs go up when accelerating??? Generally speaking,, that is what occurs. More info or move the seat back.

 

Well I mean that the rpm's increase to a greater proportion than the acceleration would suggest. Feels like clutch is slipping.

 

The power steering has a pressure sensor to raise rpm under higher pressure, if it only happens while turning, might be good place to start.

 

Watch the car care nut video on Youtube for a lesson on checking the fluid if you need a little help on checking the fluid level. Check your cooler lines and and rear seal at driveshaft for signs of leakage.

 

accelerating -

• increase in amount or extent
• (of a vehicle or other physical object) begin to move more quickly.
  "the car accelerated toward her"

 

So I guess this is normal? Anyhow I'll check my fluid.

 

Depending on how long you have had and been driving your truck you might or might not know normal. I have never used it before, but some folks swear by Lubeguard bottled additive for treating slipping. Good luck!
