In general,V8s wind up more,because the HP is found at higher rpms,and therefore have a wider power band.What other diesels are you referring too?

I have a stupid question.( I probably have to make another long tow before installing a pyro): When do egt's rise the most, lugging up a hill as the rpm's drop , or winding it up, lower gears, up a tough grade?Ole towcat (rip) had a stable of a dozen or so, he was a tow truck shop.
He allways said "there is no harm running up against the governor".
My .02 is load it down and get it hot and sweaty any time there is a drivability issue FIRST.
It will defuel on the governor, but will not pull for **** below 2500 anyhow.
My girl loves 3k at the bottom of the hill in the gear that climbs the top.
Spool it watch the h2o/egt's.

I don’t have any experience with e4od trannys, but I think I remember @Thewespaul saying something about having to adjust the shift points in a e4od for towing when he was building Project Big Blue. Like I said, I am a manual guy so I don’t know anything about the automatics, so I might be wrong, but I think there is a way to adjust the shift pointsI pulled my to hauler 30ft about 20 miles, It did ok but not real impressed with how the tranny ( E4OD ) shifted or better didn't shift. the open road was fine. overdrive shut off it got down the road fine i as able to do 55 to 60 mph with no issue but the tight winding road it didn't want to shift down coming out of slow corners to 2nd much at all, left it bogging down trying to get up to speed. Maybe its just how they were built back then. truck runs good as far as I can tell, No issues with starting, cranks right up in the cold morns. 6 inch lift 35 inch tires 4.10 gears
No apologies needed on my end. I feel the same way. I also understand that not everybody agrees with me though.*** slushboxs unless it has like 4k in mods...
A c-6 still wont break, but nor will it tow for ****.
Gears procured by hand PERIOD!
Sorry 3rd shot and beer
You can do some adjusting with the FIPL. They seem to be quite sensitive about their adjustments.so I might be wrong, but I think there is a way to adjust the shift points
