When towing with my ram diesel how do I tell when I should downshift. it seems to tow so easy, but slows when going uphill at 60 what should my rpm show.
Flat ground towing medium/light weight don't worry much. You could manually shift to fifth and see how your mpg is affected. Your Cummins can run way above 2000 up hills for long periods. Cummins generators powering hospitals and Important facilities often run closer to 3k Rpms when necessary.
