If I am going to go up an upgrade that I feel 5th wouldn't pull very well, I'll drop it to 4th. I keep it in 5th for flats and slight grades but not lugging the truck bad enough. I'm also constantly watching the autometer temp gauge to keep the temps down.

This is the only truck I know of that you can't tow in 5th according to their owners manual. That tells me that they are either 1. over cautious or 2. didn't build a very good tranny.
