Like I was saying.....the good thing about T/H mode is that it locks your TC in 3rd. This helps to lessen the heat buildup. It also holds 4th gear longer before downshifting......again, helps with the heat buildup.

I have a '05 2500 series CTD with auto/OD. and 3:73 gears Even when pulling 12 to 14 K, I just leave the trans. in D. The one exception is if starting out in real hilly terrain. That engine has so much grunt, that it just does not seem to matter and I detect no strain on the trans.

just got back in town and the truck pulled it effortlessly like I new it would.
I would love to have known the tranny temp.I know the engine did not vary much, even having to pass some tard accelerating up a hill, on the right, because they didn't know how to get out of the left lane on the interstate[:@]

That is the real reason i was asking was the heat buildup and the wear on the clutches in the tc during lockup.

The only times I notice slippage and back-down is if I have it turned up a bit and I hammer it from a stop, especially if the T/H is off. With the T/H engaged, the TC grabs much more noticeable and lock-up is a lot firmer.

Sounds like Dodge got the bugs worked out for you on the CTD?

Then again, the only thing that is still original on my truck is the body and the VIN. Everything else from intake to tailpipe and pretty much everything electrical has been replaced.
Now it's time to see what "I" can break.
