Thanks for that IdaD.
Had read about 66, got my numbers crossed. Regarding the issues with this transmission that you refer to. Is this something that would be improved on by using the tow/haul mode and some common sense?
Seems choosing 2nd rather than listening to the truck struggle in another gear would be 'common sense'. I saw the miserable performance of the 6.4 Hemi in TFL truck Ike Gauntlet YouTube video.
What I failed to catch initially is that they just put it in drive and drove up one of the steepest highway grades in North America without ever using tow/haul mode or manually taking control over gear selection or shift points. It's like they were trying to make the truck fail.
