Default tranny shift questions...

Hey all,
I have had my Ram for about a month now, so Im still in the learning process. I do have a few questions.

1. I have recently noticed that I prefer the shifts in tow mode much more than regular. I really dont see how this could hurt the tranny as it just holds the shift later, but I figured Id ask the experts. So any harm?

2. What is exactly the difference b/w tow and OD off?

3. Does anyone have a shift point schedule with approximate rpm and mph at all shift points in regular, tow, and OD off? I would figure this might be in the FSM, but I dont have one.

Thanks alot guys.

Tow/haul holds the shifts a little longer and locks out 5th gear. There is no harm in running it, although your mpg may take a hit.
