Default What should the RPMS be @ 60mph for 2001 3.0 V6?

What should the rpms be at (really at any mph) 60 mph?
I want to check to see if my converter locks up.
I do not think the converter locks up now. I am at 2000 pms at 60 mph.

Trans shifts great, and no other problems + no codes/dash lights.

If you have a 98-02 accord auto with 3.0 give me a rpm at any mph

1st 2.534
2nd 1.502
3rd .947
4th .608
R 1.846
FD 4.2

Tire diameter is 25.4"(205/65R15) in 4th gear w/no slippage ~
1700rpm @ 50MPH
1850rpm @ 55MPH
2000rpm @ 60MPH
2200rpm @ 65MPH
2350rpm @ 70MPH

Seems like your TCC is locking up just fine.

I know it's apples/oranges - but a while ago I test drove a 2005 Honda Pilot with the 3.5V6. I was surprised to see with the 5 speed auto 65 mph was about 2300 rpm. I post that example because it seems Hondas gear V6s lower (higher numerically) than expected. (It was 2000 rpm @ 65mph in the 2007 Pilot I had bought and had briefly)

Years ago I assumed lower rpm meant better miles per gallon. I learned that's not necessarily so.
