05 suburban 5.3, 11 Silverado 4.8 V8, with 4 spd OD's.
never liked how the tow haul works.
truck not lugging, normal shift points working fine, transmission not constantly
hunting for the right gear I use OD.
Load heavy enough to notice performance I will keep transmission in 3rd (drive)
to prevent lugging the engine and the transmission from hunting (constantly shifting)
for the right gear which over heats the transmission.
will downshift going down on a grade if needed.
knock wood 181,000 miles and 198,000 miles. only replaced 1 ignition coil and
1 water pump.
