Oh and I found out today that the 2016 6.7/AS69RC combination has 385 hp / 900 lb-ft torque....I had mistakenly thought torque was 865 lb-ft like 2015 model year. My goodness that's a lot!

Seems the computer just eases off the power and protects the engine from old gas engine drivers who expect a lot of noise before they start thinking max rpm.
