RE: [RC] Endurance trucks - Jerry & Susan Milam

So, does this mean you haul at 70MPH?

Another question for everyone, Does anyone drive in overdrive 

when on the

flat and hauling?  MY manual says you can if it doesn't shift to

frequently but

everyone I talked to says it strains the tranny.  Just 

wondering if anyone

would.  Hey the car company just wants to sell you an new

transmission...so why

not put that in the manual.


Heck, yes!  Otherwise on the freeway I'd have the thing revved up to 2800
rpms or better!  As long as I'm keeping it up around 2000 rpms 
(powerstroke
diesel) in overdrive (which is about 70 mph) I use it.  If I'm much under
that, I drop back a gear.
