I am heading to MT from UT so plenty of mountains. I was just wondering if anybody knows if on the flat ground i can run with the tow/haul mode off as long as the trany isnt shiftting to often? I was just wondering if it would hurt the tranny at all? The truck and trailer weigh 10,900 empty. truck wieghs 7240 and trailer 3660. Oh and if anybody has a set of tow mirrors laying around they want to get rid of let me know.

yes. BUT as soon as it starts hunting for a lower gear, or if it is not able to maintain a set speed with out bogging down, kick it back in to tow/haul. I actually get better fuel mileage when towing when i use tow/haul mode.  ____________________________________________________________________________ 06'-Ram-Hemi-Pearl Black-Magnaflow-AEM CAI-Diablo CMR Tuned By Mike W. @ tuningsuperstore.com 06'-Magnum R/T-Hemi-Pearl Black-Magnaflow-Diablo Tuned Ram in Action         Only 2 defining forces have ever offered to die for you....

why would you want to? tow haul still uses OD and it holds the converter lockup longer for less slipage. less slipage = less heat, less heat = longer tranny life. not sure what year truck you have but on my 06 the only thing tow/haul locks out is the MDS and it would never come on towing anayway. your best bet is to turn T/H on and forget it IMO.

When I was driving up to Alaska I would use the tow haul mode when I was going up hill and down hill but on flat ground I would just use it like normal!!

I pulled a Uhaul bumper pull trailer loaded to the max from IL to DC to NC... I got better fuel mileage when T/H was on also! Also, when trailering horses, I always had T/H on... Percheron/QTRX (1600-2000 lbs ea) would cause the trailer to sway and really strained the tranny if T/H wasn't on... Just my $0.02!
