Well actually, more than gas mileage, I was hoping that I could put the damn cruise control and leave it at 70-75mph without the trans keep dropping into overdrive.... thus increasing gas mileage.

On a level road, it's fine but when the truck starts going up a minor incline, the trans drops into overdrive and there goes my gas mileage.

I'm hoping that the sc keeps enough HP that it won't drop into passing gear or overdrive.

Obviously if this is your 3rd supercharged H2, it must be worth it. Hopefully it'll pay off.

Thanks,
