To Cruise or Not To Cruise
For all you Durmax guys out there..... 1) Do use use the cruise control when towing? 2) When you tow do you put the tranny in manual shift mode and keep it out of over drive or leave it in drive...

2) When you tow do you put the tranny in manual shift mode and keep it out of over drive or leave it in drive and let the tranny shift all the way up to overdrive? When I had my 2009 with the 6L gas engine I always had to run it in manual shift mode and only shift it up to 5th gear. With this diesel seems like it would be ok to leave it in auto mode and let shift into over drive.
Thoughts appreciated...
I use cruise on my '02 D'max with 5-speed Allie. Unfortunately, some effin' BRILLIANT person at GM decided that I was too stupid to successfully be able to manually use 4th gear, so I can't override OD on my truck, short of dropping about $600 to install an OD cut-out switch. I go from OD to 3rd on a manual downshift. GRRRR!
