Hi Country Campers3
There used to be a member here who had a first generation Dodge Cummins, SRW, with an 8.5 TC. He made frequent trips between Atlanta and New Orleans. He called his truck the "dually's worst nightmare" for reasons I never fathomed. Anyway, he had added a throttle to his Dodge. He would set the throttle for a highway speed on level ground of about 55mph and let the truck run. He would lose speed going uphill and gain it on downhills. He claimed 45mpg on occassion. Notice that this gives exactly the opposite result of a cruise control.
