    Ok so I'm pulling a tailor with a Harley on it through the mountain passes tomorrow. Do i need to turn OD off? Mac load is about 700 lbs and that is on the high, high end i would say bike and trailer are about 500 lbs.

    You know, a tailor fit suit is hard to find, let alone a tailor. I would suggest not pulling your tailor behind your truck.

    Ha, just busting your balls. If the transmission starts hunting for gears, take the truck out of OD. Your load with the trailer is propably 1000-1400 lbs.

    Whenever I'm pulling a long grade, whether towing or not, I turn od off. Transmission stays cooler.
