Electronic Range Select (ERS) Operation

OK, I played with it a couple times this past week just to see what it does. I noticed that I have to get up to 65+ before the transmission shifts from 7 to 8. I would have figured it would be in 8 by the time I hit 50. Next week - tow/haul mode to see what gear it keeps it in. I don't have a trailer with electric brakes at this time, only a 4-pin utility trailer, so I won't be able to test those out until I do. That might be a while.

The gear+- is on my gear shift. I use it every day. Especially with the engine brake.

NICE Scout you got there. Had a 73 with a 340? And loved driving it. Had a softtop and a hardtop but the rust got the best of it.

Tow/Haul doesn't keep it in any gear. It just holds gears longer and will downshift while braking to provide some engine braking. As far as I can tell, and I tow a lot, it'll shift clear up to 8th like normal, just does the shifting at higher RPM's. It also disables MDS.

That is the important part.
