Hello Everybody,
I have a 2001 F-350 DRW LWB 7.3 powerstroke with a 4.10 gear in it. Do I need to stay out of overdrive? If so, with the 4.10 gear, I can only travel at about 50 mph without keeping the engine rpm at 2500 constantly. I understand that I never want to be in overdrive if the transmission is hunting but if I can get it to lock up it seems to stay locked up at 65 mph. I've got plenty of power to pull our 32 foot Cougar. I just don't want to hurt the transmission. I've got a transmission temp gauge but don't know how accurate it is. Any input would be nice.
