I check at least one type of gap as often as I can .. Don't know about you since you're OLDE :} Yes I know Sue is likely to smack me for that but it is ok I got pain meds to take the edge off the broken jaw lol

Is yours std or auto ? If auto you should see the detent to the left of your normal drive position just move the shifter over .

Ok so I went out and checked because I've wondered about this before. The gear selector only displays D3, 2, and L which tells me 3 speed with no OD but I've counted it shift 4 times and find no way to disengage the OD. My old dodge had a button you could push for Tow/haul mode but I see nothing here.

 

Hey can you send me about ohh 16 inches of cpvc .... I bought 3 ten foot sticks lol cut all the pieces and come up 4 pieces short GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH lol Oh and pictures to follow but note to all if your going to cut cpvc on a chop saw ( plywood blade turned backward_ you will end up covered in static cling plastic dust !!!!

Umm @Tacoma Mike this would be your ball park ???

Seriously I am curious till Mike maybe answers take a picture of the shifter I am going to walk out and take a picture of mine.

I went back out and checked. When it's in the D3 position it can be slid to the left against the detent as you said nd that I guess will do it

 

Well I did try what you said and it does pull over to the left I guess we'll have to get @Tacoma Mike to confirm

 

Yep that is the non overdrive position you will note your RPMs go higher with it etc it is meant to tow with or I think serious hill climbing as I have had my Cruise control kick out when hitting steep hills at home in Maine ie 15 % grade and I think the other is 20 % or higher but not marked it is a woods road they paved lol

I'm leaving Wednesday night and doubt I have time to get a trans cooler. I'm thinking if I get the small trailer I'll probably only be pulling around 800 pounds at the most including the trailer. The truck ought to handle that ok It may not even know it's there

 

Sounds like it but what what do I know. I'm a dumbass with a bunch of Shiners!!

 

I know I'm overthinking this shit If I get a small trailer maybe not much weight anyway

 

The Mopar edition...

 

You can shift it over anytime btw you do not have to be stopped but I would suggest that you do it when at a steady speed I even let off the gas when I do it just to let the stress off not sure if it matters though just my thought on shifting an automatic non race transmission under load.

I bought the same drop receiver you got at TC. I need to flip axle on trailer to get more height .

 

I would get the smallest double axle you can lol if you have towed before small single axles are a BITCH to back up small change in the wheel and the damn things will come around on you :} Unless you have installed crab steering borrowed from an Aircraft tug lol

There is a section in the MANUAL...
Lol.. You want me to get the page # for you???.

Pulling left takes it out of od.

 

I don't think you have much to worry about. 4 bangers have been pulling trailers a very long time. Just take you're time. You may find you wished you had something in the bed of the truck (if it's empty) to make it ride better.

 

See I was not going to be able to say that the right way :} That there is the experienced personal service answer :}
