Any Volvo O-O's (780 class) running an I-Shift?

My D13 is 1450-1750 torque. I just hauled to houston from east coast of canada, up to toronto, and back to the east coast. 7.7 mpg. Halifax to Houston. 7.9. Houston to toronto. Both legs grossing 79k. Toronto back to Halifax 9.2 MPG (very light load).
Cams and EGR are a known fact with the ISX. Look around here YOU WILL SEE. I didn't get this from the DEALER, but from a friend of mine who is a MECHANIC at a Freightliner dealer, he specializes in Detroit and cummins and says "don't touch a cummins". Don't shoot me I'm just the messenger.

 

Somebody is listening, thank you!!

 

My I shift doesn't kick out of gear backing up at all. Or idling through lots. Has hill assist start. Don't know where some of this ducus is coming from Maybe older Volvos were that way. For sure new Shakers with Ultra shift do. The original Auto shift is far superior to the Ultra as far as tight quarter maneuvering

 

What is it 1450 or 1750?

 

ECO TORQUE. It de rates from 1750 to 1450 to save fuel when needed. It is 455 hp pulls harder than my 15 lt cat did.

 

Ha ha ha ha. Don't make me laugh. I think the reason that no cat Guys have chimed-in is because after 2000 Volvo and cat do not mix. Now, there is no 1450lbtq engine will out-pull the 2k tq, let alone the kitty. Unless you're talking about the twin turbo cat, I might believe you, hardly. My ex 12.7 Detroit would have out pulled every d, for the exception of d16, in some instances.

 

Just the same as a manual.
You feel it cannot go futher.

 

I was wondering what I was missing, it seemed like a common sense thing.
