3.73 is probably too tall for the manual tranny IMO. Interestingly 6th gear with 4.56 gears is like running in 5th with a 4.10.
If I had a stick I probably wouldn't hit 6th very often. Even my little Eagle rarely sees 5th gear unless I'm doing over 60 (T5, 4th is high or direct)
I guess your auto is hunting between 7/8 frequently?
You got it. Understatement.
Yeah, trust me, you would not go for 6th often. I call it my "interstate gear" as it is the only time I go there.
Doesn't the auto have a manual override mode? If so it may be more fun to take over. While autos respond almost instantly to conditions WE can respond BEFORE the conditions occur! Magic!
Well I'm in Vancouver BC and I received my recall by mail. It is a country wide recall I'm told. I love my manual transmission and really only ever had concern about clutch engagement from a start. This software update was is a big improvement IMHO. For those of you reluctant to go and have this recall performed I can tell you it worked great for me. Arguments about ratios and a useless 6th gear have validity but this software update obviously won't address those.
Pop the lever to the left while in drive and you control the up and down shifts. Sounds like a number of people here do that while towing.
Greetings from Fernie! Received my recall notice in the mail last week (2020 Overland Manual T) and was booked in today for the Y07 update. My dealer called me yesterday and told me to hold off for a few weeks until they fix the SW bugs that have cropped up (language issues, blank screens)in this update. Have you experienced any of those issues since your update? I was a bit surprised they asked me to hold off given the recall notice made it sound like a significant safety issue. Can you explain a bit further about what you have noticed since the update with clutch engagement from stand still? Any comments are appreciated. Thanks again.
Did your update add the on-screen display of what gear you're in? Anyone with a recent update, please feel free to chime in.
Does your auto have a "tow" button? My Ram had that and it lessened its eagerness to incessantly upshift. I never towed, but used it on hilly roads often.
Hell no - I MISS that feature! Even my 95 F250 had that feature. My 2011 Silverado had that.
Had my Y07 update done a few weeks ago. I have not had the issue others have had in reference to the blank screen or language changes. And yes, I now have a display above the odometer that shows what gear I am in, 1-6 or N=Neutral. Haven't taken any pics of the display but can if you would like one.
No pic needed. Some who had the earlier update (for newer trucks, IDK???) posted what it looked like. It took a long time for this update to become available for my truck, so I was just interested if it also added that feature. I'm really looking forward to that change!
