I've been arguing with a buddy lately on which is better for racing your truck; manual 3rd, or drive with tow/haul on. Anyone have any opinions? My preference is 3rd, I've heard its somewhat easier on the tranny.

drive with tow haul haul shift point tune...if not just 3rd....or even just plain drive
you guys are high, put the bitch in D and floor it.
If you have a 4l60e you should have your truck in 3rd when racing. Finish line transmission told me this when i ordered my 60e. It has something to do with the clutches locking up harder or something like that I can't remember but, I know people on here have talked about it before.
I know 3rd is a more direct drive if thats what you're thinking of.Quote:

Another here using 3rd everytime the pedal hits the floor. Big trans cooler and 3rd FTW. Your trans will thank you
jetmech, i think no matter what we do our tranny will cus us.
Well im with G on this one.. My 60e with just shift kit, vette servo and a big stall lasted through 70k HARD miles with a 150 shot on a 4.8 and 6.0. Put it in D and put it to the floor, If it blows it needed rebuilt anyways
I like your way of thinking :beerchug:Quote:
