I understand downshifting. I own four registered motor vehicles. My CUCV is the only one with an automatic transmission.

Instead of brakes or with breaks? When you are traveling slow enough selecting a lower gear to regulate speed is different than down shifting to reduce speed.

Okay, mine will drop into third at about 25 when I'm running light and on the flat. It will then downshift if I tip the throttle a bit when it hits a hill. All as smooth as the '74 Caddy I once had. Put a load on and the shifts get a lot firmer. The TH400 is a great transmission. Only drawbacks...
Sorry about that. I much prefer "LA" over MS. That's "LA" as in Lower Alabama or Louisiana...and NOT Los Angeles.
A turbo would definitely help as would finding a buyer for my house in CT. Once the house sells I might, probably, have money to buy the turbocharger.

Between southeast Tennessee and northeast Connecticut I hit 3 to 5 grades that put me in second gear. If I'm not paying attention there are a few more places. I try to pick up speed on the approach. The mountains of Virginia on I81 are very different than southern Mississippi.[emoji558]

50-55mph max in my M1028A2.
I will run it up to 65 when approaching a grade when towing to avoid dropping into second.

Your little help is awesome. My daughter new almost every tool in the box before she was four. Sockets and wrenches is how she learned about fractions.[emoji2]
Memories be made.

Mine was fine 3 weeks ago. Yesterday I own the door and the dirty red commie wasp had at me. I was armed with spray and got him on the wing. Then I went around filling all the usual spots with spray.

Thank you! I'm about to replace my belts and have a set of NOS a friend gave me, but I want to keep them as spare and put on brand new first quality.
