    yea, I just got this truck today, so really just getting familiar with it. Hard to gauge how good my millage is with a 44k load thru the West Virginia mountains. Certainly drives way different than my old 06 century!!!

    I just gotta feel this thing out for a week or 2.

    You'll have to go to your shop/dealer to see why they aren't charging. Seperate battery system from the truck battery's.

    I start in 2nd or 3rd, bring it up to 900, 4th to 1000, 5th to 1100, 6th to 1200

    then to 1400 for the rest of the gears.

    once you hit top hole, try to have the cruise set so you only have to hit resume.

    I will be tracking my mileage to see how this works out.

    So long as I don't have a bunch of local drivers using it when it's in the shop.
