High RPM

So I have a 2007 F250 6.0L with high RPM's. I 've noticed that on the highway at say 120(65mph) the RPM is at 2100 or so, I'm sure it use to be at around 1700. So MPG is down, the trans seems to shift fine, any ideas what would cause this. Thanks

Is it shifting to 5th gear? Is the converter locking up? Any DTC codes?

I took it to Ford dealer and they told me no codes, I think it shifting to 5th, I should go out and check to see if the rpms go up or down with the button off.

If you are over about 100 kph it won't shift down from 5th when you press the tow/haul button. Try it at 90 kph.
