Well the rest was good advice! Better keep that on! Add going up hill let it slow down to catch a better gear. SCREW the people behind you. If they want to pass let them go around including the big rigs. Do you have BT package? If not, even more important to slow it down on hills. You will over heat that tranny real quick if you dont.
