Hey everyone,


I was wondering what everyone thinks about this. I have a 2004 d/a lly with edge/juice. I normally drive in level 3 but not very aggressive at all. I normally drive with it in normal drive but I have noticed that the transmission doesn't slip hardly at all with the tow/haul mode engaged(when unloaded). I was wondering is it recommended to drive around unloaded with the tow/haul mode turned on? Most of the time that I kinda get in to it is when on the interstate passing other cars.....so it is mostly just rolling on the throttle and feeling the rush :D ........thanks.

Dont really matter IMO. TC locks up under WOT anywhy. Part throttle and down shifting seems better in TH though


What you are seeing via the attitude is converter slip, when the TC is locked you should see 0 slip. TH locks the TH in even part throttle sooner.
