Allan,
You sure got a nice looking M. I grew up on one as a kid. Good luck with it. You'll enjoy.
I have a question about the picture of your dash in the truck. I noticed that your tach is right at 2100 rpm and your running about 74 mph and you not in overdrive. You must have a high speed rear end, because most vehicle's I know of will run that many rpm's or more in overdrive at 74?

Hi Guy,

Truck is an '08. The tow/haul mode just changes the shift stragety rather than blocking out OD like the older ones did.

They still go up into overdrive and still lock up the converter. The transmission is a 5-speed also, if I remember right.

Shift points are "spaced out" further and hold in OD longer (to keep 'er cool). The downshifts and trailer brake circuits are tied to the computer to give it "engine braking" when ya wanna put the whoas to it.

Feels like a standard transmission without the clutch in the "tow/haul" mode.

I notice that the trasmission runs cooler now, but that turbo boost pressure sure uses the better part of the guage.

Also think there is a short circuit over to the fuel guage 'cause it sure goes down a lot faster than my old 7.3 did. :>)

I guess they can inprove on a lot of things on the new vehicle's, but it looks like they still lack getting the fuel mileage where it should be.

So you think a 5000lb truck pulling a 3000lb trailer with a 5000lb load at 70 pluss mph should get good mileage.

Oh,

I just like to hear myself bellyache. :>(

Truck is an absolute monster when it comes to working. Just isn't the nice, soft 'grocery hauler' anymore. :>)

The ride has been improved to the point that ya can't even tell you are in a truck. Can't hear that engine either, which is kind of nice.

Allan
