Five, the last leg of my trip is predominately 55-60 and I got 7.4 .... certainly a cost to move a wall of air.

99% of the time as soon as my coach shifts into 6th gear I either set the cruise or watch the speedometer and keep it under 65.
1st post - so hello everyone.
As the speed conversation goes, I just returned from a 900 i95 trip and did a test on speed / mileage.
On my 07 ISL Cummins I used 72-73 on the way and 67-68 on the trip back. Cruise control any time possible, same route. Low amount of traffic either way. Mileage went from 6.4 to 7.1. Just my 2 cents.

Oddly a friend (who bought my old 2004 Itasca Meridian) with a Cat C7 and a mh3000 transmission used his shift pad to find his trans fluid level to read 7 quarts low. (Dip stick looked right). After adding 4 quarts and continuing on his way to his camp ground it now reads 8 quarts low.
The trans shows no sign of leaks. Drives and shifts great. - in fact he said it shifted a little smoother after adding the fluid.
Can anyone share what symptoms you would see / feel from over filling? It has run well for the last 5k miles -
It just doesn't add up that the shift pad has provided such different readings. Is there a calibration required?
Thanks!
