just keep an eye on the temp gauge. empty is right about 100* above outside air temp and loaded up is anywhere from 110*-135* above outside air temp depending on how steep/long the hills are and how hard you are pushing to keep speed up the hills. Dont forget to turn the T/H mode on every time you restart the truck as it shuts off when the truck is shut off.
pretty much turn on the T/H mode as soon as you hook up and the set the cruise and sit back to enjoy the ride.

Good info thanks. I'll be studying the manual but I do need some basic info before we leave. The trans temps are a big help thanks.
