OK, I've got my flack jacket on again.......
In the "Transmission Cooler" post below, towing in overdrive is mentioned.........
It is perfectly OK to tow in overdrive EXCEPT in those instances when your transmission starts shifting in and out on a rapid and continuing basis - like going up and down a series of small hills.
It is the constant shifting that may eventually harm your transmission. In normal towing situations you may actually be better off in overdrive because there is a "lock up" feature that prevents internal slippage and allows the transmission to run much cooler.
Also saves gas....... And if there's more gas available in this country - then the prices will go down........ And if the prices go down - Doug and Barb get their Pontoon Parties!
me!
