Went to the truck dealer today and he showed me the tow/haul/overdrive lockout button. That should really come in handy in certain situations. I found out that this was not an option in the 2001 D/A models. The owners son, nor my salesman, knew that was a function on the new trucks. Thanks for the info, again.
Wish that would have been an option on my 2002 GMC 1500HD 4X4 Sierra CC. We pulled a 19' Wildwood TT to Phoenix and back and wished we could keep the tranny from trying to get into overdrive. We drove some of the trip in '3' just to keep it from shifting so much.
From what I have heard from all you great people out there, it sounds like our combo should pull fairly well down the road, even in overdrive. Never had a diesel before
