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? ...

Glenn,
A good question for Allison-- they have had several shift pads over the years:
Allison help line 800 252 5283
But, if pushing "Mode" illuminates an indicator, I suspect that says you are in economy mode.
Want to test it:
From a standing start (ya, traffic permitting) put your foot to the floor and accelerate to 50 MPH. Note the max RPM in each gear (call it out to your co-pilot). At the next stop, hit the mode button and repeat. In economy mode, shifts will be at lower RPM.
