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?

IMHO you should be in the gear going down hill that you would be in going up the same hill!timpitt wrote:

That is a great general rule of thumb. And a safe approach for nearly any combination of vehicle and driver, although somewhat outdated with newer transmissions with good shifting strategies and diesels being what they are now.
