Just curious on what you guys cruising speeds are in the humvee and in which model? My 2002 M1123 best cruising speed is 2,300 RPMs at 60Mph, I have the blocky radio communication top so it's a bit of a drag on it, but either way I feel the 6.5 is very comfortable at 2,300 RPMs and still have a lot of power at this RPM range. I have a viscous fan clutch setup and the temp would stay around 180-195 the whole time without going pass that, so I don't even have to worry about the fan fully engaging on the highway either unless it's extremely hot outside.
I used to cruise at 65-70 but now I've gotten to like the peace of mind of the engine not sounding like it's going to nuke itself.
One time in my civvie truck I had passed someone doing 55mph on the highway and he still caught me at the exit that was 10 miles away, so I've learned the extra speed doesn't save me much on time either way.
