Tow in 3rd. Its easier on the internals and creates alot less heat.

thanks guys I was thinking the same......it's mostly a one way trip but it's 900 miles. :yessir:

I'd tow in 4 unless the trans
starts "hunting" between 4 and 3 while cruising. In that case I'd leave it in 3. Also, no such 3.5 gear I know of in a cheby, only 3.42 or 3.73 for those starting with a 3 anyway :lol: |
woops
I think it's a 3.73, I need to look. So, you think D is okay. I think you might be right when it's level.
thanks, Steve

If ya have 3.73, then you will be fine towing in D on flat hwy, unless you are in heavy winds, mountain range, or steep grades, in which case 3 will work better with less stress. You wont be breaking any speed records, thats for sure. Keep an eye on your trans temps and EGTs.
