Re: 1st rodeo (4wd for that matter)

Forgot to add: next time you're getting ready to climb a long/steep hill, push the *power mode* button BEFORE you start to climb, this helps keep the truck in the correct gear, AND it will hold a lower gear longer.

However, your speed may still drop a bit, my opinion is just to live with it when it does, you do not want to overwork this auto tranny too much, they cook easy and are $$$ to replace.
