that is with the 4:10 gears and a six speed manuel. It is actually a lot better than I thought it was going to be. Manuel transmissions have always had better mpg #'s

It will hold any speed I can take it up to, provided I leave the O/D button off.

Seriously, it will hold 65-70 no problems in 3rd gear at about 2500-2800 RPM's

I have not had to turn off my OD and I can maintain freeway speed, it shifts on me but only when I hit a hill, and try to maintain 70 mph, I also have no problem hitting the gas and being able to pass!
