I have towed using 10+ vehicles with 4L80e's, and not one of them prevents the shift into overdrive with tow/haul mode activated. Every one of them dropped temp vs staying in 3rd.

Also towed with several different d-max's with both the 5 and 6 speed alison, and again they all shift into overdrive even with the tow/haul mode activated.

Also towed with a couple 2015 dodge cummins with their new 6 speed, and they both go straight into OD with tow/haul mode activated.


The old 95 dodge cummins my brother has is the only one that doesn't shift into OD with tow/haul activated.
