    Firstly the full PDS (Payload Disclosure Statement): Vehicle loaded to 3T with 3/4 roof rack with the sixth wheel bolted to it. Camper weights in at 1.4T (carrying additional liquid gold - aka diesel).

    In Sport Mode (S for Speed) @ 100kph by GPS: 5th gear is 2230rpm. If road is level or slightly downhill and cruise control engaged it drops into 6th and is now 1885rpm.

    In Drive/Auto (D for Drag) @ 100kph by GPS: 5th gear is 2230rpm. It will ususally drop into 6th by itself and is then 1785rpm. Engaging cruise control on level road will have rpm increase to 1885!

    We were also pushing a mainly headwind (with some side component) of 20-30kph too.

    I have a Nanocom so am not able to monitor EGT unfortunately. Hope that provides what infor you were after Brad.
    Cheers, Dale

    Absolutely, thanks!

    Looks like 5th on the auto is a bit higher than the manual and 6th seems a bit lower. Much of a muchness. Interesting the change in 6th on cruise. I wonder if it unlocks the converter? I can’t figure out what else would account for the change.

    What is this resistor mod you are talking about? I have heard i need a resistor or load box somewhere to stop my trailer LED lights from pulsing on my 05 D3.

    With a D3 you need a ‘pulse buster’ to stop trailer LED lights pulsing. This is basically two resistors and two relays on the trailer indicator circuits. The resistors let the D3 know a trailer is attached, the relays stop the pulsing.

    Roga, thank you. That makes sense, will have to look into it a bit more
