Hi...I have a 5 sp. 1983 diesel...full camper ..i've been driving it to work about 23 miles on the freeway...have gotten up to 65 down hill...not often though...the real kicker is that starting to go up any incline i have to down shift...never had a vehicle that you had to down shift on the freeway!!! Also I try to plan ahead which on ramps I use..but i still love "Harold"!!!!!
