Tranny range selector +/-
I was just curious if anyone here uses there range selector
when just driving around town or in traffic. I use it often
so I don't lug the engine and having not to shift in and out
of gears so much.

I do that too. I use 4th for most city type of driving and under 55 I keep it in 5th.These trucks go into 6th gear quickly even a slower speed driving. I figure by not lugging I can reduce the soot...But I'm probably wasting my time. I also keep my e/brake on all of the time except for snow/ice.

us it as well
Down shifting on hills (with exhaust brake on), and lock out 6th when towing as most of my area has just enough hills to be a pain on the down shift from 6th all the time.

I use it all the time myself driving around town. Usually keep my in 3 or 4th to keep from shiftting all the way to 6th for 45mph. The 6 speed shifts so quick and I do not like that at all.

I shift mine pretty near constantly...
Used to use it quite a bit on my 08, especially when towing.
