Well I Got 2000 Miles On Her And I Got Ants In My Pants So Bad Today Thinking Bout Towing I Had To Do It.i Hooked My 22 Foot Tandem Axle Trailer And Drove My 96 Z71 Ext Cab Chevy On It.i Know The Trailer Weighs Right At 2000 Pounds The Chevey Weighs Like 6500i Think Not Really Sure I Lokked On The Sticker On The Door.anyway Im Thinking Around 8500 9000 Pounds Somewhere Around There.remeber This Is A Bumper Pull So Alot More Tongue Weight..okay Well First Off I Took It Down Hwy 155 For 40 Miles.lots Of Grades. First Run I Kept It In 6th Gear .i Was Very Impressed It Only Down Shifted On The Steepest Grades And It Just Hummed Right Along.fuel Mileage Averged Bout 10 Mpg Going 65 With 4 Inch Lift And 35s. The Shifting Was Firm And I Could Lock The Torque Converter Every Gear If I Wound It Up First.i Stopped At 5th Gear So I Dont Know Bout 6th.1st Thru 4th Acceleration Was Better Than My O4 With A Quad Box On 2.at One Point I Was Running 90 Just To See If It Would Do It In 5th Gear.then I Shifted In To 6th.it Just Purred...... I Cant Really Say Enough About The 68rfe.light Years Ahead Of The 48re In My Opnioun.
It Just Keeps Get More And More Powerful I Cant Wait To See How It Does And 15 Or 20 Thousand Miles.. No Problems With My Particulate Filter Yet Although I Dont Baby Mine Anyway Im Really Pretty Hard On Them While Im Breaking Them In.maybe A Little To Hard.but They Seem To Be More Powerful When They Break In If You Dont Baby Them
