OK...with the load in my sig, using TH, what is the best/preferred method to use to force a downshift when EGTs start to get into the danger zone. This is a serious question.

Not really sure on this one. I know when I was hauling our 44' enclosed car hauler with our 2007 F-350 auto I did everything I could think of to keep it from down shifting on hills.

Who writes your tunes for your Ex ??? I had Matt at Gearhead re-write my tow tune a couple different times to get keep it from down shifting so easily. Call your tuner and get him to change the shift strategy.

With the tune Im running the converter is locked in 4,5,6. To down shift I hit the tow haul button and it will drop to 5th.
