Sounds normal to me.Don't forget your also carrying an extra 1500 LBs
than the stright Vanagon.The reason you think you only have one fan
speed,is because the low speed comes on when the a/c is turned on.Now my
question to you.At 65mph my tac reads 3900 and 70mph 4050.Is the synco
trans geared higher than the non synco?I would have expected it to be
the other was around.    Marcus
