Have our trucks got too much power yet?
I've often thought about all the energy being wasted with braking applications and exhaust braking on down grades. It's only a matter of time before our rvs will have electric drive axles to help hold...

Changing the tuning to lower power levels is just as apt to lower the fuel economy as it is improve it. I think gaining fuel economy during low load situations such as cruising down the highway empty would require a smaller displacement engine, lower boost, high fuel pressure and a higher compression ratio.
