Speed limit is 45. 2 lane road. I could have pushed it and it would have easily topped at 55-60, but there was no need to work the truck that hard. The truck managed it without a sweat.

I weighed the truck/trailer prior to the start of the trip, GCVW 22600. Into a 20-30 mph headwind Im seeing EGT1 temps above 860 to 920. No headwinds temps are 760 to 850. Watched 1 regen cycle with all EGT temps above 860 for what seemed like a long time. Torque convertor temps are around 167 or so. I think coolant temps are around 200+, but I haven’t been watching as closely It’s been taking 5+ minutes to get EGT1 below 450 at rest stops. Outdoor temps have been in low 60’s. Averaging 8 to 9 mpg and staying around or below posted speed limits. Used about 3 gallons of def in 1320 miles.
