rpm when towing
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.

My early 11 Cummins 650 and 3.73's works different. The RPM will also be different than you guys with 3.43's. It will hold on to a gear too long before it shifts down. It will go from 6th to 4th with a great roar if I just leave it alone. If I pre-emt it by shifting to 5th with the ERS, it is much smoother and 5th is often all I need for smaller hills. I just shift it to 5th then put the ERS back into 6th so it can shift back up when it is ready. On steeper hills I will find the gear that works and leave the ERS in that position so it doesn't hunt.
