Need your input
Sunday I will be going down Black mountain. Am I correct that I should: 1. Turn off tow/haul 2. Manually put in 3rd gear 3. Turn on hazard lights 4. Hang on? Thanks

If the hill you are going down has a truck speed limit I would suggest that you go that speed. Just pick the best gear to hold u back with min use of the brakes and not red line the engine. High rpm are ok just bury the tachometer. Probably going to be 2nd or 3rd gear.
Just for my own edification. If your burying the tach and high rpm are ok, how is this not redlining the engine? Or are saying its ok to run the rpms high...just not too high?
Seemed contradictory to me, thats all.
I was thinking about that after I posted that.
Some people think that 3500 rpm is to high of a rpm. (for a gas engine )
You can take it up to the red line but shouldn't go beyond that is what I was trying to say.
Im horrible at trying to explain things with a key board. (one reason I don't post alot)
Hope that helps clear things up.
Yes it does, thanks. :)
Not trying to give you a hard time, just trying to understand. But thats kinda what I thought you meant. I don't tow over many grades, but like to have an understanding for when that time comes.
