Just saying but your 08 Trailblazer with the 5.3L and the 4L60 with a 3.42 would only be rated for 11,000 GCWR where OP's 2006 Chev 1500 with the same setup is rated for 13,000 GCWR kinda an apples to oranges comparison... I agree he won't win any races pulling more with the same setup but it doesn't mean that it can't be done safely. Also 4th on those transmission is considered an OD gear with 3rd gear being direct drive. You shouldn't be in 4th towing going downhill anyways you should be downshifting to allow for engine braking if needed.
Of course. TH mode some keep it in OD and let TH mode select. I myself drive in 3rd. Best performance and cooler temps...
Its amazing how many here dont know how to tow or what is normal for towing weight...
The 4 speed will out perform the 6 speed anyday of the week... The rpms will stay higher inbetween gears and keep the tourque up over the 6 speed...
Most 6 speeds have the 3 23's from what I read... and hunt more
Its an oxymoron...
