95% of the time I'm between NJ, NYC, and OH. 40% of my mileage in a hills of PA, usually, I'm not heavy, I'd say my average load is about 25,000lb.
But i do a lot of 2 lanes with some lights, and of course, you know how NYC is! :shock:
CATs and especially ACERT, very sensitive to RPM "sweet spot" and don't like "pushing", you got to be very gentle with it. "Sweet spot" for ACERT, is around 1325 RPM, according to my ECM, I'm between 12-1400 77% of the time. It has plenty of torque on the lower end, don't be afraid to use it.
I've just delivered 40,000lb load on I-80 from OH to Brooklyn, NY with my cruse, set at 65mph, only had to split(13) once, didn't even pushed it before the hills. 8)
