@valhalla You have me curious about weights. Next time we're headed out we'll make some time to take it to the scale just so we know exactly what we're pulling.
I did almost always immediately back off after that 2nd shift it made that pushed it to the 4500-5000rpm range. I can just let it go as long as it's still within the range? It just sounds so wound up! It could be that with my normal driving habits my ears just aren't used to hearing the engine in my vehicle operating at 5K rpm :) Slowing down is fine too, I'm not trying to set any records, just safely make it to the destination.
