Stupid question??????? But important... The o/d are you turning it off when your thinking your turning it on ? Drops down a gear and raises the rpms = lower gas milage

The O/D is on teh gear select lever, its not an electronic overdrive. But yes it does drops the RPM.

And I think I will Hoov, I usually done but I haven't for awhile

Great my last vehicle is pretty much about out of commission. Its leaking oil like a sive out the rear main and a bunch of coolant leaks have started to crop up. ugh I don't wanna pull the trans out in winter time to fix a leaky rear main... man V8s suck only 100K miles on it and its giving me problems now. but my Z had like 170 and didn't even burn oil.
I miss my 2+2...
