took the play truck out over the weekend, tow weight of truck and trailer approx 9500lbs give or take, about a 40 mile ride with a good 20 miles of it wide open hwy, noticed running 5th gear at 55-60 it was putting smoke out pretty heavy, running at about 1700-1800 rpms, down shifted to 4th gear, smoke cleared up but rpms were at about 2400 running the 55-60, and the engine temp seemed to stay around 210... is running at those rpms good or bad for the motor on a haul like that?
