Bucky: Driving a H or M and shifting from 4th to 5th is much like picking up speed with a 500hp truck grossing 150,000 lbs., You achive it on down grade. I once drove a truck like this with B-trains hauling the weight I just mentioned. Boss asked me how I got the best fuel milage in a fleet of 35 trucks.
