Message: [QUOTE="UpstateDieselGuy, post: 237355, member: 3856"] As I have now had this truck since August I have made some observations. First off, this thing has a tremendous amount of low end. I am still surprised as how it feels from a stop. Second, this thing loves to lug down. I have to make it downshift more than I have any other diesel pickup with an auto. It is nothing for the converter to be locked in overdrive at about 45-50 MPH and be lugging along at 8-900 RPM. It will do this all of the time and you have to give it a fair amount of throttle to get the converter to unlock and down shift. I am amazed at how it can pull itself out of the hole without downshifting, like a straight 6, however with additional power that can become devastating to the truck, engine, trans, driveline, etc. I am just wondering if the lugging nature of this engine is going to be watched carefully and altered with tuning. Just some thoughts. Chris [/QUOTE]
