Yeah... Fried clutches are expensive.

 

Alex you do not need to tow in 4th. Read this and posts that follow.

Here is a link to the towing bible. Very good information in there, except for the part about the towing mirrors.

I'd rather waste gas than push my trans with 150k on it. As awesome of a deal as I got it for from you, I would like to avoid buying a third transmission

 

If I'm not mistaken, 6th gear would be our overdrive, as 5th should be the 1:1 ratio gear.

 

Makes sense but 5th and 6th are pretty close ratios.

 

Ok,

Paying it foward.....the Tacoma spare never got picked up....

Oh how I wish you were closer.

That's a silly deal.

 

That's good to know. Thanks

 

Wish 6th had a lower ratio. Instead of 0.85, why not 0.72 like the auto, or maybe a little less.

 

Sorry I couldn't give more time BUT it was "supposedly gone"...

I leave Monday but my wife can leave it outside of the garage when it is claimed......

TW "package express" helped us move a few of these already ...

 

I need it!!!! I don't have a spare at all!

I'll be there tomorrow

 

Alex, it is yours....and you have mail...

 

But if you're flat towing and the truck will stay in O/D, torque convertor locked up, no need to be in 4th. When you're on hills or the truck keeps hunting between O/D and 4th or the torque convertor keeps locking and unlocking, then you want to kick it down to 4, otherwise, you are not doing any damage to your transmission and you'll be building up less heat in your engine. 4th is too low for highways in my opinion, regardless if you're towing or not.

 

I'm Sloth, and I endorse this message

 

Morning all. Anyone else off today?

 

Oh, oh, oh, I am, I am

Kendra, Joseph and I are finishing up a long weekend in NY after visiting Grandma and Grandpa. Heading back out today and going to see if the new bed cover I installed while I was here did anything for highway MPGs.

 

Morning. I too am off. Just going to run around and do some errands.

Also, we are supposed to get more snow tomorrow?

 

Nice. How do you like the Ford on long trips? The stx I had at work was actually pretty damn comfy. Rode nice, seats were good.

 

I dunno about CT, but we're supposed to get another 3-6" where I live in MA (around Gillette).
