Bought a new to me 2000 Chevy 2500 4X4 with 6.0 V- 8 gas, 4L80E automatic, and 4:10 gears. The manual says to use the tow button on the gear selector when towing a heavy load. My question is what determines a heavy load. I have a 24 foot gooseneck flat bed trailer that I will haul hay weighing 11,000 lbs, tractors from 2500 to 10,000 lbs, and a popup camper. Is it better sometimes to put it in (3) so it doesn't go into overdrive but shifts at lower RPMs? Is it ever ok to tow with it in overdrive. Thanks for the help. This is my first pickup with overdrive. Don't want the tranny to go out some day because I did stupid.
