shifting on downhills
We have a 2021 7.3 v8 fleetwood bounder 33c. Does anyone have info on shifting when going down hill and up hill. Other than the Ford manual?

When towing my TT in the high and steep mountains, I decide what gear to be in by watching the tranny temp. If the temps starts to climb I drop a gear or two to bring the rpm's up and the tranny temp down. It works for me.
When going downhill, I shift early and let the engine do what it can to slow me. I still have to apply the brakes from time to time because my turbo gas engine is not great at motor braking. Small engine, big horsepower and torque at low rpm's
