Yeah on a trip to my parents in Oregon I was coming down one of the steep grades in Southern Oregon. I crested the top of the hill at about 60, and pulled it out of gear. The wind resistance on the way down the 6% grade slowed me to 50.

Not real nice on my mileage. But at 25K Gross truck and trailer and all that wind resistance 8MPG isn't too bad IMHO. Especially for an old mill with 246K on it.

Yeah I think I am going to run a DI bottom end and some TN turbos from BWD, just to screw with the DI and BWD loyalists.
