    Yeah, it gets about 15 mpg towing 7600 lbs, and I get 30+ setting the cruise at 65 empty.

    You can get it in an Express/Savana van too. Great little combo, especially if it's an AWD van.

    Sorry about the hijack OP.

    I'm kind of surprised if your pumpkins don't have the place for the sensors but Volvo doesn't make the axles, they spec them from Meritor or whoever. Whatever you add they can program your ECM to work with it but it isn't cheap.

    As for the Hill assist with the iShift you'll just have to talk to a dealer. The iShift can be programmed all kinds of different ways.

    If you know your truck and it’s temps, the gauges are good to have but I wouldn’t go through the trouble to install them aftermarket. The gauges can believe it or not let you know of a few issues that may be arising before you are dead in the water.

    It’s not about a good pull. It’s like any other gauge. To monitor if you have an issue. High rear diff temps to cause concern is a sign that you need to get your tears looked at. Maybe your lockers are stuck engaged, maybe you sprung a leak on your long journey, list goes on

    I get my tears looked at by my wife every time I add up my maintenance receipts. Truck owner ship is fun.

    If your lockers were engaged wouldn't you be able to tell the first time you made a sharp corner?
