tl;dr is short for "too long; didn't read," but also, there seem to be typos. From the first paragraph:

I have a 91.5 ic 1st gen Cummins says my fan pulls 25hp engaged a ckass8 up to 75hp. And pulling a grade empty it will lock in and boy howdy can you tell it pulls some ponnys. With the cruise set to 62.5 (setpoints are in 2.5mph increments and it dose DWL all on its own as much as 10mph ) the fan locks up you hear it and fill it . No computer on my engine or cruise. By the time the cruise realizes that it needs to compensate I've lost 3-5 mph, now comes the rub 3-4 shift point is 60 up and down above 1/2 throttle , and the trans downshifts to 3rd ie 1:1 and I or the cruise have to put it almost to the floor 7/8 throttle to maintain 59mph to get the last mph and hit the shift point you have to go wide open. Or just sit tight to the top of the grade @7/8 throttle no good for FE. You can backoff/feather to the throttle to 1/2 to allow the shift (this causes compression braking droping almost to 50mph)this works on the flats but on a grade like "Baker-Grade Baker Grade Baker to Barstow, you back off1/2 throttle lose 1-5mph, shift, put the power back on and it down shifts. Also known as shuttle shifting, supper bad for an automatic transmission . So I pin it hit 60 and off unless thire are 25 of my160hp missing from the fan , then had to just back down to 50mph to the top and this really sucks. This was last summer. last week (mar2016) I adjusted the "TV"CABLE out 2 notches now pulling

I underlined the parts my browser said were misspelled and italicized the parts that confused me, or tried, because that was difficult for me to follow.
