That "middle gear" you are feeling is likely the torque converter unlocking for a little extra boost.

[@latrogeniwile58]

Correct. The TC will unlock with high MAP before downshift. However it can't operate that way very long before overheating. Run it in D3 and let the ECM do its job. As noted above, it wasn't until 1997 that the lube circuit in the rear of the trans was improved that towing in OD is safe. On flat ground you can get away with it but not with real heavy loads. The RPM gets too low for the pump to deliver adequate oil volume.

We hope that former Californians won't ruin it taking with them the same politics that ruined California. But if they continue to vote Democrat, in a few years the Free States of America will become the new Socialistic States of America. It is happening in Nevada nowadays. I only hope that the ones moving to Texas, Tennessee or Louisiana are the ones who voted correctly even in California or at least the see the truth and stop voting Democrat.

55 with a trailer? I've been at 110 many times with my 17'. Usually Cruz around 80 with it. Please don't bring Cali with you. Glad it went well and congrats on the beautiful place.

[@anman366]

I am not certain, but I do believe that the 4L60E transmissions have 3rd and 4th gear torque converter lockup capability, so when you hit a small hill in 3rd at 55 you are probably experiencing the torque converter unlock and the revs would go up a few hundred rpms.

[@daktrllcahobl9455]

"Downshifts slightly, not exactly 2nd gear". That is your electronic torque converter unlocking to give you torque multiplication under increased load. It runs locked (1:1) at cruise, and unlocks under load. The drawback to unlocking is it creates more heat. So you wouldn't want to tow for long periods of time with it unlocked.

Hey brother, just a safety tip for when you buy a used dryer, take that dryer apart and clean out all the lint. I just got a used washer and dryer myself and immediately it had a burning smell. So I pulled it apart and sure enough there was lint on the heating element that was catching fire. It only takes about half an hour to do and it’s worth every second to know you’re keeping your family safe from the most common cause of household fires! Enjoy Tennessee, buddy!

Being in construction for close to 50 yrs, had to use the trailer mover several times, know what you mean about finding the sweet spot to drive in. Later, even when I would go by myself, would get a truck from uhaul and off I would go. Many times having to load and unload by myself, would have to take a little bit longer to rest up before jumping off on the new job site. Then got to the position that the company would move me and family many times. When I was driving to the state I was moving to and thinking about the old days: driving 12/14 hours a day to get there, then unload, find the box that had next days stuff and then try to get the sleep that I needed. I would think fondly about the old days and smile! Nothing like that fist shower after a couple or more days on the road!

Just my opinion here.. the 350 tbi isn’t the best in the world but its a great engine i had a 92 1500 pickup and i pulled a 4x6x4 full of soil with a bed topped off with soil with it every day basically for years they’re warriors as long as it’s maintained after 200k i recommend using a little thicker oil in it and if you have the extra time of you haven’t already convert the rear to disk brakes as well helps a lot just remember every piece on that machine has a lifespan

America is the greatest place no matter where you settle down, but California is getting too expensive for me. America is beautiful and the brown desert scenery that I see all year long is depressing. I need to see green and it is too cold in Nor Cal for me. Too cold for me anywhere that it snows annually. So somewhere in the South would be right. But then there is the humidity. I hate dripping sweat. So I am thinking Texas. Austin area would be good for me because I am a liberal.

One thing I know you're not escaping is the 9.25% sales tax. From city to city it can change, like Gatlinburg its a hair shy of California sales tax

Glad to see the follow-up trip video was trouble free too! Just curious as to what kind of mileage you got towing... I can't imagine it was great. My '97 (5.7) got about 12 with my trailer and I'm lucky to get 10 with my '99 (7.4) but I can pass anything on the highway but a gas station! Enjoy Tennessee, can't wait to see what's next.

I see you moved fellow Sub Bro! Good for you, I am in a Island 🏝️ but after finding paradise the crazy people came and rather be where your at Woods remote area. I don't hate people just antisocial that's all. But keep up the good work and also just did my Steering bearings and arm and I notice I used words that where un-holly :) oh yeah pain in the wazoo.

The torque converter comes out of lock up when you go uphill because the motor is under more load if it were to downshift in to second gear it would raise your RPM's way too much causing the motor to race

i moved the hell out California back in the 90

[@MrMikey1273]

Awesome job moving out of Cali. Tennessee is where I am actually looking at moving from Pennsylvania.

I was born in East Tennessee in the smokey mountains. Good move dude. Nice house too .

[@leebegaye]

Two stops in Gallup NM walmart? Nice! U and WatchJrGo stopping near the Navajo rez is awesome!!

[@manuelyritaac7414]

Very happy that your move was safe and starting a better, happier and stress less life in Tennessee. Blessings going your way, and looking forward to learn more from your videos.

Congratulations on the safe and successful move Jimmy. Very happy you are on my side of the country now. Also super excited that I guessed Tennessee, Knoxville to be precise.

Gas is $2.50 a gallon here in the 'Deep South' . Good exodus from Cali but you're too far north. Tennessee is turning blue fast. I left TN. 7 yrs ago. The true ' old south ' ( polite and neighborly . Honest and loving ) is still found in Mississippi and Alabama.

[@robjohnston5292]

Glad you're trip early smoothly. I'm shocked at the ultra low miles on that 'burb, only 64k! That's a nice rig.

You going to go hang out with Derek since you moved to Tennessee @Vice Grip Garage @1Road
