No, with the kickdown not attached your truck will shift normally. You put it in drive and go. The ONLY thing a kickdown does is downshifts if you put the pedal to the floor. It has nothing to do with upshifting.

Kickdown

I just installed my kickdown on my C6/460 and it holds gears longer now if I'm in it.
