With "tow/haul" engaged i can use OD, right?

Someone may correct me here but I believe it WILL still go into overdrive with tow/haul engaged, its just at a different rpm and speed. It'll hold 3rd longer, and on basically any type of hill, then when it flattens out or you dont have much of a load on the engine it'll go into OD. Play around with it off and on on the highway and see what it does, but the tow/haul mode is designed with tranny life and temps in mind. I'd leave it on.

Ok... i plan on using the tow haul... just wasnt sure if i should run the caddy in 3 or in OD

Tow/haul works fine in OD. However, if you find it shifting in and out of OD a lot it's best pull it down to 3. A lot is shifting or lugging the motor in a higher gear generates heat in the transmission, but that typically doesn't happen tow/haul.

i left mine in tow/haul driving thru the hills.
some of the hills seemed to hold lower gear to long for my taste, but once it leveled out, all was well

I would engage the tow haul. Over drive will be fine. You should be fine in over drive. I down shift into 3rd on the steep grades.

The truck did great. The squat was a lil more than I liked, but still had rear suspension travel, so it was ok.

I stopped for fuel every time we got down to half tank... which was about 100 to 120 miles.
