Re: Air throttle leak Reply #25 – October 31, 2020, 06:12:06 pm When I first bought my coach and was bringing it home I would be in trans economy mode and on some hills the coach would start pulling down, took it out of the economy mode and the trans shifted down and and the coach sped up to cruise setting. Now when I'm in hills I take it out of economy mode and the trans does it's thing. Quote Selected

Pure physics-- the transmission is REactive-- seeing only what happened well behind you. Quote Selected

Re: Air throttle leak Reply #29 – November 01, 2020, 08:36:19 am I am WOT on most grades of any significance but 42' 200 gallons of water 200 gallons of fuel, and 6000 pound trailer.. it's expected. And of course on any longer grade you have to gear down and get out of it to prevent overheating. Quote Selected 1 Likes
