It sounds like the Aussie diff ratio's could be different to the US!
Or we might have better fuel!
May be its the diff in weight between the F150 & Rams
When I get the rev-counter working Ill be able to see what the motor is doing at 105kph (62mph)

31 is impressive! I'd be curious what the RPM is and the curb weight.

You could say that
once I put it in top gear you just sit back & steer no changing at all except towns & with the 3.5 gears helps with the consumption

What axles are you using? I'd think the stock axles on that Ford wouldn't hold up to the weight of the Cummins... and the torque.
