safe RPMs
My truck is an F150 extended cab, 302 with e4od and 3:55 gears. Pulling about a 4000 pound trailer up a long 8% grade the trans shifted out of OD then slowed to about 32 MPH. It then shifted down to second and the speed climbed back up to about 40 as I reached the point where the hill leveled off and it shifted back to 3rd then OD. Sense I don't have a tach, I am wondering if I should manualy pull it down into 2nd gear instead of letting the motor lug down that far?
Thanks, Jerry
