    Heh... you manual transmission guys are always trying to flex. :D

    The third gen automatic also allows the driver to select a lower gear.. all with a quick flick of the shifter. If we want to hit the rev limiter in 4th we too can do that. ;)

    Here’s a pic from my dash after driving home today. About 2/3 of the drive was on the highway at about 70mph.

    true, I could word that better but basically most people complain about the auto trans shifting especially while in cruise climbing hills and are disappointed when it won’t hold 6th or 5th consistently. If you had a manual you wouldn’t use cruise and you gladly shift down to 5th or 4th and leave it there until you reach the top of the grade. So don’t expect better performance out of an auto.

    Are we that brainless of drivers these days were you just dont do anything behind the wheel other than stare out the window.... good lord.

    Use the shifter to select your top gear as 4th BEFORE you get to the hill, this will allow you to get into lockup and pull right up the hill with zero hunting regardless of your tune/setup etc.

    Even the fucking manual states to not use CC while climbing hills.

    But instead of wasting time RFM, mr OP would rather make a post on the interwebz.

    I have towed 5k lbs of shit in cruise control up hills for hundreds of miles and never have gear hunt..... just because you are in cruise doesnt mean you cant touch the shifter. Like stated you should be able to select a top gear of down to 4th (1:1 ratio) without issue of coming out of cruise on the 3rd gen (you can on the 2nd gen). You might even be able to select down to 3rd "S3" and the truck wont come out of cruise on the 3rd gen as the 3rd gen does have torque converter lockup abilities in 3rd as far as I know - im sure someone savvy enough can confirm or deny the S3 cruise here.... it sure wont be OP.

    Needless to say..... OP stop bitching.... this is 100% user error.

    you actually have to go all the way to 5.29s on the auto to match the final 6th gear ratio of a bone stock manual truck. thats how insanely geared the auto is. once on the highway in my tuned manual it stays in 6th gear easily even on 35s.

    the factory e locker is not just a simply 12v powered engagement. it uses 12v for the initial engagement but drops down to 8v after that. being an energized coil also means you need a diode setup and some other electronic wizardry to make it all work. much less headache to go aftermarket locker.
