Q: anyone have the hemi with the 5-45rfe 5 speed transmission i cant figure out what the tow/haul mode is really supposed to do. it does nto appear to lock out 5th. here is what happens. begin driving up steep mountain grade at about 70mph. as grade becomes steeper engine bogs down a bit. turn tow/haul mode on. engine shifts to 4th. grade flattens somewhat. engine shifts back to 5th but 200rpm higher. turn tow/haul off engine drops 200rpm. is this the way it is supposed to work on my 2001 ram the od button simply locks out 4th od gear. on my new 2004 hemi durango it appears to not lock out 5th od but rather just alter the shift points. this is a major pain especially descending when i want to downshift to 4th for engine braking. .

my grandfather just got in an accident in is 1996 dodge ram 1500 and pretty much totalled the truck. the thing is that he just recently put new tires on it and the insurance agency said that he could switch out those tires for any other ones as long as it has wheels. now i own a 1995 chevy c1500 by any chance would i be able to use the wheels off his dodge justin measure the bolt pattern and offset. if they match then yes. doc ******* youll have to also check the center hole! paul aka tha driver giggle cream - it makes dessert *funny*! .
