Turn off overdrive while towing with Edge Evo Level 2??
Just wondering if I need to turn of the od on my 2004 5.4 4wd while towing in level 2 programing mode with the Edge Evolution? I know any other time I would turn it off but with the programmer I didn't know if there was still a need to do that.

on the flats, I use OD for any speed over 55mph and I have a 3.73 rear end. I keep an eye on the transmission temps, but i'm only pulling 2k pounds of tent trailer that i guess sorta dissapears behind the truck on the highway. i have no trouble going 60-75mph on the interstate in OD and get 14-15mpg while towing that load. In any mountain driving I turn OD off on the uphills and on for the downhills to help cool the transmission again. I think as long as the transmission temps remain low, you are no in danger of burning the OD bands?
