Hello all...

I took my Titan and TT on it's first "real" journey this week. I have some diff bake, but not too bad. I will check/change the fluid tomorrow. Thank you all for the info! My question is... when I put the tranny in "tow mode" and manual shift it seems to me that it does not have the desired effect on the torque converter. My tranny seeks too often when towing. I am sitting here talking myself out of it, but I am pretty sure it still goes in to OD. The indicator changes from D to 4, but there is no other noticeable change. So it goes OD, 4th, 3rd, 4th, OD on some hills and wind conditions. Not only really annoying, it can't be good for the truck. If it would stay in 4th like it should everything would be dandy. I have also had the tranny temp spike that some one else mentioned, but I was in manual shift and tow mode. As soon as I shifted to 3rd, all was right in the universe... other than the excessive RPMs.

Thanks!
