Re:48re SHIFTING QUESTION
I guess it's going to depend on the grade and whether you tranny starts hunting. If it doesn't hunt, you could leave it in OD. If it hunts, take it out of OD.

I usually leave it in OD unless the tranny shifts down, then I lock out od until I have crested the grade. That seems to work well running a GCWR of 17000, it also did pretty well running GCWR of 21000.
