I think all the geared hubs are the same except the Alpha has the helical cut gears to quiet them a bit. As far as frwy cruising, the max sustained rpm for the 6.5 td is 2350 rpm if I remember correctly. I wouldn't put too much faith in the dealers' info...the last thing they know about, or care to know about is the h1. These trucks were never meant to go as fast as some take them. I sometimes hit 75, but only for a very short time -- I usually cruise at 65, which on my truck is about 2400 rpm.
