Tow haul mode?
Pulling 10,000 lb fifth wheel with f350, 6.4 deisel.. do you have to always use tow haul mode even on flat interstates?

Looking at the first couple of replies.....
you have reply from a Dodge owner with a 2006 Dodge CTD.
His info is good - but not totally correct. No point in explaining.
Then the Ford owners chime in.
No doubt Chevy (& GMC) D-Max owners will also.
Looks like even some of the FORD owners are posting incorrect info!.:R
Suggest you visit one of the several *BRAND SPECIFIC* diesel forums, so you're getting info pertinent to YOUR brand and year etc.
Also, you will find (working) mechanics and techs furnishing info.
Example: The tow-haul mode for the aforementioned DODGE CTD operates totally different between 2005 & 2006 48RE (Dodge) transmissions.
Obviously, selection and operation of the feature differs from FORD trannys.
For *FORD* diesel forums -and info-, suggest:
The Diesel Stop (dot com)
(there are others for both diesel & gas. Google- Ford diesel forums)
