New E450 with tow/haul question
My old Winnebago E350 4R100 had overdrive and I would turn it off when climbing a steep grade or go down a long grade for braking. What's the difference with the Tow/Haul on the 5 speed. Same usage?...

I use the t/h on our E-450 based Lexington towing a Subaru, from the moment I start it till I turn it off.
The feature is really not needed on an empty chassis, but these rigs are loaded out almost from the moment they roll off the rv manuf. floor, so you are almost always "hauling".
Just saves a lot of ware n tare on the trans.
Also, I replaced the original wimpy trans cooler with one rated over 4 times the rated cooling of the oe unit. OE is rated around 15000 btu , one I installed is rated at 64000 btu heat dispersion.
