[QUOTE="Doug Mould, post: 719527, member: 64524"] The sales woman did not know what she was talking about, the transmission will go into o/d below 50mph. It is best to use the O/D all the time. The only time you would de-activate the O/D (pushing the button) is when you need additional power or engine braking, such as when towing a trailer, or driving in the city. With the v8 and 6 speed, pushing the O/D button deactivates 5th and 6th gears. I do tow my 4000 pound trailer in O/D, because the truck will pull it in 5th gear, and it saves gas compared to using 4th gear with O/D button pushed. [/QUOTE]
