You realize that is engine braking right?! Also I'm aware of the various ways to downshift the 10R80
Yes Frenchy, alas I have seen and smelled others' burning brakes going down long hills. Too many folks don't even know about using the drive train to take some load off their brakes.
1) Besides church on Sunday did you drive it more days during the week? 2) Did you ever drive it above 25 miles an hour?……….
I've had my truck almost 7 years and it has a bit over 43k miles.1) Besides church on Sunday did you drive it more days during the week? 2) Did you ever drive it above 25 miles an hour?……….
So.....at 26 mph do you ever get to where your going and when/if you do get there are they still open for business ?????I've had my truck almost 7 years and it has a bit over 43k miles.
The lifetime average speed is 26mph
Well, when I had the factory headlights, they sucked so bad I couldn't leave until daylight.So.....at 26 mph do you ever get to where your going and when/if you do get there are they still open for business ?????
All speeds, every day commute. Did you do the math? 78k in 5 years of ownership. I drove it a lot, but I don't over use the brakes. I often follow people for miles and see them hitting the brakes a lot, while I just cruise along, staying right with them, never touching the brakes.1) Besides church on Sunday did you drive it more days during the week? 2) Did you ever drive it above 25 miles an hour?……….
That sounds exactly like the curvy, winding two lane Farm Market roads in Fannin County.Well, when I had the factory headlights, they sucked so bad I couldn't leave until daylight.
Now with decent headlights I can leave early and beat the rush!
And I don't have to be in a hurry to get there
When 95+% of your driving is curvy GA 2 lane roads, you don't get a lot of opportunities for terminal velocity.
I will occasionally fill up with a couple of tanks of Premium and run the truck in Sport mode for a bit.
The tire chirping/traction control light at every gear change through 3rd is entertaining for a bit, then it works out of my system and I go back to the 87-89 tune, which is actually plenty.
