Hank and Phil, thank you both! Hank, please PM me when 5 offers a deal. Phil, I Don't think I fully understand the way 4R100 thinks. It defaults to OD unless "OD OFF" is selected. But, hitting a slight grade in OD with cruise, seems to downshift deeper than Direct or simply OD OFF. more of a passing gear situation. It'll pull the same grades easily out of cruise. You're right about tow/haul. Rented a C with torqshift and it wasn't neurotic in t/h. The diff is that I have to give up OD or (maybe AND) cruise to stop neurosis. The torqshift let's you keep both. Ford developed 5R to be an Allison killer. I'd be happy with anxiety meds for 4R. If 5star will do that I could be happy.
