700r4

Hi Guys

I just bought a 1987 Chevy Pick Up
with the 700r4 transmission. I don't
know what rear end gears I've got.

He said I should drive it in the "D" position
around town and only use the overdrive
position when it hits around 55mph.

In other words highway driving.

Is he right ?

What difference does it make if any?

Thanks

Sometimes those trucks would shift to OD at 40-45 MPH and make the truck a bit doggy. In traffic situations, the trans would upshift and downshift as you got on and off the gas, causing an "overbusy" situation. It won't hurt to drive in D around town.
