Lots of RPMs left to be in 3rd and hold back a much larger load at 50MPH.
I don't know where the redline is on the 9l. On a larger diesel engine I wouldn't want to see it rev much over 2100 rpm. The loads I tow I seldom see the jake operating above 1800 rpm. If the Allison behind that 9l dropped to 3rd the engine would rev to 2800 rpm which might be ok?
