I used to use it a lot more before I was able to control all of my shifts with the Superchips. Now that I have been able to make a custom shift table I really don't use it unless I am actually hauling a large load of lumber.
I stumbled across some old threads of people talkin about always using the Tow/Haul mode. I was just curious to see how many of you guys keep it on all the time when you drive.
I tried it for the first time today and liked the shifting patterns better than with it being off. Less shifting and higher RPM's is what it seemed like. What do you guys think of it?

Leaving the house going to work i need to go up hill imediatly and with the normal shifting pattern it just doens,t accelrate.
I drive allmost all day in tow/haul or even with the overdrive switched off.
I do not notice any difference in fuel consumption

I think I am correct in saying that in Tow/Haul the torque converter will not lock up. I hauled a trailer up north and back with 6 jetskis and 6 minibikes on it and the way up I used the tow/haul and on the way home I did not. I got almost 2mpg better with the tow haul OFF. It is easier to tow with it on, but it will stay out of OD forever when getting up to highway speed.
