    Towing - Performance

    hey 1956ford just wanted to remind ya downshifting from overdrive under load with that "little" fiver behind you could cause problems if your tranny ain't tight. we manualy downshift to 3rd when the grade gets a little steep, then mash that pedel. my stock tourqe converter never liked full load...
