Downhill Towing

[quinngr]

If I remember right, GM states in the manual that there are two max RPM levels for the Duramax. One for acceleration and one for deceleration. The drive train is designed to handle it and as stated above the computer won't let things get out of hand. It sure gives you a shock when you're not ready for it though

Thanks all. Good tips. Looking forward to the next time I face that hill.

So why have a RED line if there is no danger anymore if the computer will not let you rev high enough to do any damage?

 

So MJLANS with the advice what is your plan of attack ?

 

. Check your Trailer breaks ?

. Gear down/tow haul mode

. Be good to invest in a jake break
