    Hi, I am posting this because I would like to get some feedback in regards to running a 475 Detroit Series 60 with a 10 speed transmission. I am not to familar with this engine / transmission combination. Now, when hauling a tanker and your GVW is 100,00 . Whats a good rpm range to keep it under when upshifting? I, am not too familar with heavy loads. I do alot of LTL and TL where my GVW is around 47,000. Also, I am going to be checking out a few tanker companies, and this info could help me out. Thanks!

    Thanks for the replies. I am not sure whats the gear ratio is. But pushing it to 1800rs +/- is what I thought also. Thanks again.

    All the truck engines can run 2100rpms all day and not hurt the engine. Run that pig up to 1800 then shift on normal ground. Go higher when up hill or rough terrain. Also the jake has the most brake power at 2100.
