Trty to run 63-ish for a week. If you got a boost gauge, drive by it and don't let it go above 20-lbs max or so -- ever. If no boost gauge, . I feel sorry for you and whoever owns that truck. You are driving blind.

15k in a reefer, at 63~ish -- should be breaking 7.5+ mpg at least unless it is a square nose or a volvo.

This T700 has all the gauges and boost almost always shows 0 while driving 57,62 mph. But I think the gauge is lying. When I had my scan gauge in this truck it said boost was near 7 pounds higher boost than gauge. Which is more accurate I'm not sure.
