When does tranny shift?

Really hit the gas for the first time since buying my truck. Pulled into traffic when I probably should not have. Anyway, I think I was already in second (auto) when I accelerated and climbed to 3500 RPMs in no time flat. At that point I eased off the gas because tranny had still not shifted to third. Was it coming? Did I just lose my nerve? I would appreciate any insight into this. Thanks

did you have it in tow haul mode if you did it holds gears longer if not you probably just got out of it right before it shifted

No normal mode, and I was on level ground. For what ever it's worth it's a crew cab long bed with 4 wheel drive.

On the floor mine shifts around 3600 except 3-4 which hits the rev limiter around 3900. In tow - haul mode it's more consistant. This engine revs higher than most diesels.
