no t-stat allows it to cool to its maximum potential.

i think 4k is a little high. that seems likes its one gear too low.

Ok, cool. 4k in 2nd and cruises at about 2400 in third.

I'm running 65-70 pulling a 7k trailer with o/d out at about 2400 rpms until I hit a 15% grade then it shifts into 2nd and run about 4k rpms until i hit the top.
