Re: Fix the Tow Mode - please

I have an 06. Before my father died I would tow his restored cars to car shows for him. His favorite was a Studebaker. That car had a lot of steel in it and was solid as a rock (sorry Chevy). Car, trailer, tools, and other assorted stuff usually ran in the 7000 to 8000 Lb range. Now I mostly tow my boat. Total weight of the boat, motor, and trailer is well under 5000 Lbs.

I tow in 4th with the TM on. It gets Africa hot here in the summer but there are no hills. I have never seen my tranny temp gauge go over half way. I never paid much attention to the TC locking up but I will after reading this thread.

BTW, on the one hill around here I can feel my transmission braking when I coast down the hill.
