to shifts to 4th where it pulls good with less reving then it seems it goes to 5th when the RPMs get to about 2700 then kicks back to 4th after it lugs in 5th and back and forth it goes until I lift and put it in 3rd and and it revs to about 3000 rpms or so.. lost yet? so my question is I thought "Tow
mode" locked out 5th gear.? then I tried pulling a hill in "D" and it shifts to 4th
and pulls real good but the tranny guage goes right up.. does the " Tow Mode" do anything? Seemd like to much shifting going on.. anyone else notice
this? or should we just stick it in third and go for it? and how long till we smoke the tranny?

VT, if you don't mind me asking, what is the make/model and GVWR of your 5th wheel? Thanks in advance ! |
