    I guess we don't have the auto performance on these trucks? I only seem to have auto econ and manual.it is nice not having to shift. Although I may knock a hole in the floor where the clutch used to be lol.

    No. From what I was told the auto performance overrode the speed limiter... A couple people got lease termed for doing 80+...like morons.

    I'm beat. 700 miles driven overnight. Hormel in Trotwood took just over 5 hrs to load me yesterday morning. Had 3 hours to drive and made it to Richmond, Ky when I ran out of hours. That left me with 700 miles to Jacksonville, Fl. Naturally I informed via free form and mac1 that most likely I wouldn't make OTD for 1000, and it would be 2100 the same day. Today. Well, I got lucky and only had one major slow down. Just south of Atlanta on 75, there was an accident on n the north bound side, but construction with only the left lane open on south bound and naturally the south bound dummies had to rubber neck.

    Made it to C&S/Winn Dixie with only 20 mins over my 11. I had even called my DM and said I was doing that since I was that close anyway.

    Yeah, if you're gonna keep the cruise on, bump it down 5-10 MPH below the speed you want to hold.

    I went down the Grapevine fully loaded and set it @ 30 MPH. Held at 35 all the way down never touching brakes
