RE: cm2250 -cm871
Like Rawze said, re-gear, look at my signature. I keep my gearing due to one fact, I have an 18 speed transmission. I can work around that issue, other than the sluggishness, but I try to haul light freight. I run in either high 7th or low 8th gear, that gets me the best fuel mileage I can squeeze out of this beast, rpm's run right at 1600 at 64 mph in that low 8. I drop below 1500 rpm and I am down shifting. And I tend to avoid using the cruise control, unless I am running in the flats or empty. You are just beating that motor to death.


User's Signature: 2008 ProStar, OEM 600hp CM-871, 18spd, 3:42, in framed in Rawze's driveway. Every day is a fresh new episode of, "The Twilight Zone"... Rod Serling lives rent free in my head. I can smell the Chesterfields.
