Upon rereading the post I see that you said:
Re-look Barney, You wont see "Silverado" in picture, that is the Dodge 3500 6.7L diesel, the verbage of "Signature" talks "Silverado.
Okay?
Been parked for a few days, but can't wait to use M (manual) transmission on them hills.
I was afraid to shift into M while doing 65 MPH, even 40 MPH.
TO everyone who commented here to help me understand.
Even thought:
I should Put M into 5th while stopped, then at 65 MPH it would put Manual Transmission into 5TH, then I could "Down Shift".
What I'm getting confidence about is I can go into M (manual) at any speed and transmission will recover and downshift using engine.
Correct?

Your signature does not tell what vehicle you are towing with and the picture is too small to tell also. I went to your profile and see that your tow vehicle is a 2014 Silverado 1500 5.3L 8 cyl.
