And if it is hunting between gears, then lock it in the lower one. I lock out 6 gear when towing a 16K 5th wheel. It will drop of 4th on mountain passes. RPM go to 2100-2200 if I remember correctly.
It is at 1750 at just over 60.
Love it.

T&P and MeAgain are right, regardless of automatic transmission. You don't have to do anything special with the 68RFE. It might not be as stout as the Aisin, but it is highly reliable at stock power levels.
