Economy mode on an Allison Transmission
Does anyone know if there is any benefit to turning on Economy mode while using cruise control on a highway? If I've got the cruise control turned on at 64 miles per hour, will economy mode help? ...

The more engine torque you have the better the eco mode will work. My first MH had a Cummins B engine that was not able to use the ECO mode as much as I liked because of it's lack of torque. My C7 is better and I am sure the bigger engines are another step up. I use mine all of the time unless I am in mountains. In rolling terrain like Iowa and pulling 6000 lbs behind it rolls over the terrain without shifting. You might lose a 2-4 mph but that's ok is I can save fuel.:)
