I picked some last year right in the Thousand Trails park. This year they have just begun to bloom, so the berries will be very late.

I keep a close eye on the gauges. If it's getting too hot, I gear down manually to keep it from overheating, which sometimes means slower speeds.<br /><br />Downhill, I have an exhaust brake that works really well, but you have to watch that too. Your RPM's can get too high, in which case you use your brakes to slow yourself at least 5 mph before letting the exhaust brake take over again. On most hills, I don't use the brakes, but long steep ones require some help. Sometimes gearing down to 5 just before the downgrade lets you use the exhaust brake the entire way without braking. LOVE this transmission, but you still have to keep an eagle eye on your gauges. It even has a MODE switch you can use for increased fuel mileage ... it won't shift going up slight hills or overpasses. I just learned that one from blog reader Jim.Nancy Kissackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03225296192386107554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818111637898313184.post-60050108611225280412017-07-11T05:32:26.159-07:002017-07-11T05:32:26.159-07:00I will definitely do that!!

On you your Allison ...The subject is transmissions,<br />On you your Allison six,, if you are in drive mode.<br />If you're on I 5 coming out of Mount Shasta northbound towards grants Pass.<br />That's one nice long grade, what would your transmission do.<br />Will the automatic transmission pull down gears for you.(to the appropriate rpm and temps)<br />Or would YOU automatically select a down gear (And if so to what)<br />Now you're at the top of the grade coming down into grants pass you're going downhill now. <br />Would you go to manual select<br />I would assume you are in a lower (4/5 ) gear.. is your coach equipped with an exhaust brake or a. 1 2 or 3 stage engine brake ?<br />The reason from my questions<br />I have a friend that is Spec, out a coach they want to equip it with an Allison 6<br />I'm kind of nudging him towards the ZF 10 or the ZF 12<br />I have no experience on a Allison six<br />Although I do have limited experience on 12 speed eaton ultra shift and the smart shift.. both similar to the ZF line of transmissions<br />You can't go kite flying because theres hundred mile an hour winds, and Snow is predicted for the rest of the month of July, or maybe longer.<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br />Mister edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00293854096422236002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818111637898313184.post-58179060680008513262017-07-10T08:24:42.307-07:002017-07-10T08:24:42.307-07:00If you're ever in Seattle, make sure you stop ...If you're ever in Seattle, make sure you stop by Red Mill Totem House in Ballard, an old fishing neighborhood.
