sorry for the confusion neither of us have hemis
we both have 4.7s. his is an 03, mine is an 04. mine says tow/haul on the end of the gear selector where the button is his says O/D off at the end of the gear selector where the button is (not the other way around like i said at first) i cant find a button anywhere that says O/D off on my truck and since his O/D off button is in the same spot as my tow/haul button, i thought they were the same. whats the difference between tow/haul and OD off? like i said before i always thought they were the same.

 

i thought that they were the same as well...interesting.

 

On the end of the column shift I can push the button once and it puts me into Tow/Haul and then if I push it a second time it puts me in O/D off. I think the 06 and 07's had this while the previous model years are different.I took a picture with my camera phone just to explain it better. Sorry for the bad quality, every time I backed up the picture was clear but the font was too small but when I got closer it spazzed out. I hope this helps.

ok that helps. i have never seen one like that before. mine and my dads both have just one selection. so what is the difference between tow/haul and O/D off? i thought they both held out first gear longer, and were both supposed to have a lower ratio.

 

You know, I'm not really sure haha. I think it's because in 06 we went from the 45RFE tranny to the 545RFE tranny butI don't know the difference.

 

really? the service guy at the dealer told me that if i had an auto it was a 545rfe and if i had a manual it was a 45rfe. i dont know though, because he was in a really big hurry to get off the phone it seemed so he might have just said something in a rush to get off.

 

No that service guy was incorrect. I'm not sure if we have the same tranny. I think the 4.7 does have a different transmission however.

 

hmm makes me curious as to what i have then.

 

john, what does your truck run?

 

lol ive never run it on the track just lined up a few times on the higway, i beat a 4 door ford with the 5.4, but lost every other time. ive never took it to the track as i think it would be a waste of money just to run high 16s all day. i know it doesnt matter what you run, its all in having fun, but i dont think crossing the finish lineat a blazin 70 mph would be much fun for me. i do love racing, and am always willing to learn more about it, and i think that i know enough to make some decent passes at the track once i get a worthy vehicle to make a pass with. my automotive instructor said he might let me make a few passes in the nova after i graduate, but thats a year off, so ill just have to be content with watching and working in the pits this coming season when we start running the nova every weekend for points, which i am really looking forward to. i think it will be a great learning experience and will be alot of fun to be around all those fast cars every weekend.
