with the current 5th wheel I will be in 5th probably 30% of the time, due to load. As load approaches 80~90% the stress on the 6th gear shaft is getting a bit excessive for my tastes.
That is one of the impressive outputs you get on the torque app from OBD, calculated load as well as instant and average MPG. The MPG was very accurate. My trip was 24.27, and going down the road the torque app was hovering around 24.6 . All the while the factory overhead was declining, eventually settling down in the mid-22's.
You could SEE the effects of a passing truck or tiny up or downhills, and also modify driving style on the fly.
